Konanurಕೊನನೂರು
Konanur is a half-day stop for a slow village walk and lake views, not a destination: skip unless you have time for a quiet detour from Mysore or Nanjangud.
Konanur is a small farming village in Mysore district, reachable by train from Mysore. It has no lodges, no buses and one tea shop that closes by 10:00. The appeal is a short walk past a lake, four temples and farmland. Most travellers should treat it as a 2–3 hour detour from Nanjangud or skip it entirely.
