Overview

This Bengaluru city tour package spends three days and two nights in Bengaluru, Karnataka, with a private car and driver from Kempegowda International Airport. The route covers Cubbon Park, Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, the Bull Temple and Bengaluru Palace. The city suits first-time visitors best from October to February.

Who it suits

First-time visitors who want one hotel, short days and a mix of gardens, palaces and an old temple, not a long road trip

Highlights

Lalbagh Botanical GardenCubbon ParkVidhana SoudhaAttara KacheriTipu Sultan's Summer PalaceKR MarketDodda Basavana Gudi (Bull Temple)Bengaluru PalaceDarshini breakfast

Good to know

Traffic

City drives are short in distance but slow at busy hours, so each day holds only a few stops

Airport leg

The airport is about 35 km north of the centre, so the first and last days are planned around it

Flight time

Day 3 fits Bengaluru Palace before an afternoon or evening flight; for an early flight the palace moves to Day 1

Temples

Dress modestly at temples and remove footwear at their entrances
