Bangalore

You may catch the tail end of monsoon season. Other than that Bengaluru as it is known is a great city and good night life too. Speaking English should have you covered for the most part..

If it's your first trip to India be prepared for a culture shock but you should have a good time!

What to epexct? What to do/eat/see?

Expect a shite ton of people. Don't give anyone money.

If you want to explore, I'd hire a recommended driver. They'll go anywhere you want and be your guide.

I did not do southern India, but if I had time I'd check out Kerala for sure. The southern India temples are different than the north (the tall towers). I'd check a few of those out. Of course, British Raj architecture.

Are you going to be able to leave Bangalore? There's really a ton of places to see. Goa for the beach and Dudhsager Falls by train. Varanasi to see the burning pyres. The Taj of course, Rajasthan, the hill stations, etc. It's a huge country, you won't see it all of course.

By the way, "India hot" food is an inferno. Try it once and then get mild or your stomach will be torn to shreds.

As for monsoon, it wasn't too bad when I was there, but it's all luck anyways. Most of the time it may just rain shortly and be gone. Bad luck you get flooded out for days.

You're either going to love India or absolutely hate it. It's a polarizing place.

I have been to Bangalore once for the office conference meeting.
