You can enjoy a helicopter ride and get a glimpse of Mysore city from the sky. The short helicopter tours operate during the Navaratri festival every year. If you are in the city during Dasara festival and wish to fly over Mysore city, then there is a helicopter waiting for you.
During the Dasara 2019, we saw two helicopters taking off from the helipads next to the Lalithamahal Palace Hotel. There were enough customers to keep the pilots and the organizers busy. The helicopter rides costs Rs. 2700 (USD 38) per person per ride.

The helicopter tour duration lasted for about 8 minutes and that seems to be more than enough to enjoy the aerial view of Mysuru.
There were several onlookers standing next to the wooden barricades enjoying the sight of helicopters. The children were amazed from the breeze the propeller created when the helicopter took off.
