Taking a breather from our hectic holiday schedule, we managed to visit the Golden Temple at the Tibetan refugee settlement in Bylakuppe. The place is 30 km from Madikeri, and 90 km from Mysore. The Golden Temple is housed in the Namdroling Monastery, and true to Tibetan architecture, is very attractive and colorful.
