Visit this carved teak summer palace to admire Mysore-era artistry and take intimate photographs — it’s a short, atmospheric stop and usually open through the day (confirm timings before visiting).
Choose Toit for wood-fired pizzas and a lively brewery vibe, or The Permit Room for inventive local-inspired plates in a cosy setting; both get busy—reserve ahead and note they typically start lunch service around noon.
Enjoy a gentle row- or pedal-boat ride and a relaxed lakeside walk at Ulsoor; boating operators usually run through the afternoon but availability can vary, so check on-the-day timings.
