I’ll be on a work trip in Bangalore the last week of September. It may be tough to get free time, as I’ll be with 5 of my U.S. work colleagues and our India team will probably closely curate our daily schedule. However, I’m considering tacking on a couple days of PTO at the end.

In case I can get some free time, are there any restaurants, places, or sights that are “must do” while there?

Find a place that serves Filter Coffee. It is more of a South Indian style of coffee andt is a treat worth trying. I normally drink my coffee black - but filter coffee with plenty of sugar is the way to go.

Don’t eat any uncooked vegetables. Water only from a bottle.

I love Bangalore, used to travel there frequently for work. We had a plant in Dabaspet.

Here some suggestions:

Bangalore Palace
Bannerghatta National Park (We stayed an extra day to do this) white tigers!
Sri Radha Krishna Temple (Feed the monkeys)
Shivoham Shiva Temple
Commercial Street (Downtown Shopping, ride a TutTut)
Lalbagh Botanical Garden
WTC - Bengaluru (We ate dinner on the top floor, not sure if that is still a thing)


Random, but get a fish pedicure. It is super cheap, but well worth the experience.

As others have said, eat well.

Id love to just go to the city center and wak around and hear and see the chaos while indians follow you around and watch you.

There are really two distinct parts of downtown - Have money and don't have money.

Commercial street has Chanel and Prada store, and one block over you can hassle for a pair of fake Nike flip flops and Naan for $3 USD.

I see these in some shopping malls around Houston, all I can think about is all of the dead skin from other people’s feet floating around in that nasty water

Least dirty thing you will encounter in India, I almost guarantee it.
