Take an early Mysuru–Bengaluru bus from Mysuru—allow about 3–4 hours, with traffic sometimes stretching the trip. Book seats together for the 30 students and check whether the bus arrives at Kempegowda Bus Station (Majestic); fares vary by operator and service, so confirm them before booking. From Majestic, the metro is handy for reaching central Bengaluru: travel to Cubbon Park station, then walk to the park. Keep the group together at the station and arrange a clear meeting point in case anyone gets separated.
Spend about 1–1.5 hours strolling shaded paths in Cubbon Park; it’s a welcome breather after the bus ride. Check the park’s current entry and access rules before you go, as timings and vehicle access can vary. From there, walk toward Vidhana Soudha to see its impressive exterior from public roads or permitted viewing spots. Allow around 30 minutes, and follow any security instructions—entry inside is not part of this stop.
Head to Vidyarthi Bhavan in Gandhi Bazaar, Basavanagudi, for its famous crisp masala dosa. It’s a cross-city trip from the park, so allow roughly 30–45 minutes by cab or auto depending on traffic; for a large group, split into pre-arranged vehicles or use the metro toward National College and walk the remaining stretch. Budget around ₹100–₹200 per person, and expect a queue at busy times. After dinner, check in to a budget dormitory or hostel near Majestic for the three-night stay; contact the property directly to confirm space for 30, group rates, check-in arrangements and the full price. A ₹3,000-per-person budget for the entire four days is very tight once three nights’ lodging, food and transport are included, so lock in the bus and accommodation costs first.
Make Genex Space the anchor of the day and allow 2–3 hours there. Before setting out, contact the venue to confirm its exact Bengaluru address, that it is operating on Friday, October 2, group availability for 30 students, booking requirements and entry fee; don’t rely on an old map listing or turn up without confirmation. Once you have the address, arrange a minibus or cabs accordingly—Bengaluru traffic can make cross-city journeys slow, so leave a generous buffer before the next stop.
Head to the National Gallery of Modern Art on Palace Road next, and give yourselves around 1.5 hours for the collection. It is generally open Tuesday–Sunday, 10am–5pm, but check its holiday and ticket information before travelling; allow roughly ₹20 per Indian adult as a planning estimate, with possible concessions for students. From there, continue to MTR on Lalbagh Road for a sit-down South Indian meal. Budget about ₹200–₹400 per person and expect some waiting at peak lunch time; for a group this size, call ahead about seating.
Finish at Lalbagh Botanical Garden in Mavalli, about 1.5–2 hours at an easy pace. The garden is usually open daily from 6am to 7pm; check the current entry fee, with around ₹50 per adult a reasonable estimate, and ask about student rates. Walk the main paths and glasshouse area, but keep the group together and set a clear meeting point before anyone wanders. A minibus is simplest for 30 students; confirm parking and drop-off arrangements at each venue, since these stops are spread across the city.
Start around 9:45 am at the Government Museum on Kasturba Road, and allow 1–1.5 hours for its archaeology and natural-history collections. Then walk a few minutes to the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum; give its interactive exhibits about two hours. Since this is the Saturday after Gandhi Jayanti, call both museums before setting out to confirm they’re open, their hours and group admission for 30 students. Keep the group together at entry and agree on a meeting point outside each museum.
Walk or take a short auto ride to Koshy’s on St. Mark’s Road for a relaxed sit-down meal; budget roughly ₹250–₹500 per person and allow an hour. That can be a substantial share of a ₹3,000-per-person four-day budget, so check the menu and agree on a spending limit before ordering. For 30 people, call ahead to ask about seating and whether the group can be accommodated together.
From Koshy’s, take an auto or cab to Commercial Street in Shivajinagar—allow extra time for Saturday traffic and roughly 1.5–2 hours to browse the busy lanes and grab snacks. It’s easiest to split into small groups, set a clear meeting point and time, and keep some cash for small purchases. If you’re watching the trip budget, decide on a shopping and snack allowance before wandering.
Head to KR Market around 5:30–6:00 am, when the flower stalls are at their busiest; allow 45–60 minutes to wander through the flower and produce lanes. It’s a lively, crowded market, so keep bags close and agree on a clear meeting point for all 30 students. From Majestic, a cab or auto usually takes about 10–20 minutes, depending on traffic; for a group this size, arrange several vehicles rather than expecting one cab to fit everyone.
After the market, return to Majestic for breakfast at Hotel New Krishna Bhavan in Gandhi Nagar, a practical stop for South Indian staples such as idli, dosa and coffee. Budget roughly ₹80–₹180 per person and allow about 45 minutes; check opening time before setting out, as early service can vary. Then collect luggage, check out and assemble near Kempegowda Bus Station with plenty of time for the group to use the facilities and board together. For the Bengaluru–Mysuru bus, book 30 seats in advance and aim for a morning departure; the ride is usually 3–4 hours, but Sunday traffic and boarding can add time. Bus fares vary by service, so confirm the operator, boarding point and current fare when booking.
