Itinerary

Stop 1

Meet our tour leader at the Hard Rock Café, located in the city centre

Stop 2

Begin your journey with a peaceful walk through Lalbagh, Bangalore’s oldest and most iconic botanical garden, home to over 1,000 diverse plant species from around the world. Explore its beautifully landscaped gardens, climb the ancient rock formation that dates back 3.4 billion years, and take in panoramic views of the city. Don’t miss the stunning glasshouse at the heart of the garden—an architectural gem inspired by London’s Crystal Palace.

Stop 3

Step into the iconic Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (MTR), a beloved Bangalore institution since 1924, and savour timeless South Indian breakfast classics served with a steaming cup of freshly brewed filter coffee.

Stop 4

Visit one of Bangalore’s most revered temples, dedicated to Nandi—the sacred bull of Lord Shiva—and home to the largest monolithic Nandi statue in the world. Discover the fascinating legends and cultural significance of this sacred site as your guide brings its history to life.

Stop 5

Walk through the elegant Indo-Islamic palace of Tipu Sultan, one of India’s first rulers to resist colonial rule. As part of this Bangalore heritage tour, uncover stories of his revolutionary advancements in sericulture and toy-making industries.

Stop 6

Experience the energy of Bangalore’s largest and most colorful market on this immersive Bangalore market tour. Stroll through KR Market, Asia’s largest flower hub, where vendors trade vibrant blossoms, aromatic spices, and fresh produce.

Stop 7

Quick stop at Vidhana Soudha and Attara Kacheri—the state legislature and High Court of Karnataka—showcasing diverse Indian and Greco-Roman architecture. Built in 1884, Attara Kacheri reflects British-era design.

Stop 8

Take a leisurely stroll around Cubbon Park that divides the city between the markets and the Contonment, a well-maintained 300 acres of garden where Bengaluru’s residents converge to steal a moment for fun runs, concerts, and even yoga. The park is a delightful insight into the merging of Bangaloreans from all walks of life. You will also visit the European styled Library within the premises.

Stop 9

End your day with a guided tour of the majestic Bangalore Palace, a Tudor-style landmark inspired by England’s Windsor Castle.
