Dates are flexible. This day-by-day plan is provisional until you choose exact travel dates.
Allow roughly 2–3 hours after landing at Kempegowda International Airport for baggage collection, regrouping, and arranging transport for 15 people. The airport is well outside central Bengaluru, so budget around 60–90 minutes door-to-door to the hotel in normal daytime traffic, with more time during peak periods. Pre-book a minibus or two larger vehicles rather than splitting the group across many cabs, and keep one organiser at the arrivals area with the hotel details.
After check-in, give everyone time to rest, shower, and escape the heat before starting the programme. Use the Hotel conference room for introductions, an overview of the annual meetup, and a practical briefing about the following day. A hotel meeting room is preferable to an outdoor venue in March because it provides reliable air-conditioning, seating, charging points, and space for a screen. Allow approximately ₹500–₹1,500 per person for a light meeting package with tea, coffee, and snacks, depending on the hotel.
In the late afternoon, take the group to the Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum. It is a good indoor choice for a team of 15, with hands-on science and engineering galleries that encourage people to split into smaller groups and explore at their own pace. Allow around 1½–2 hours, plus 20–40 minutes each way from a central hotel depending on traffic. Check the current opening hours, group-ticket process, and any restrictions before confirming the visit; public holidays or special events can affect access.
For dinner, continue to UB City, where the team can choose from several indoor restaurants and cafés without needing another long cross-city transfer. Reserve ahead and request a table layout that allows everyone to talk; budget approximately ₹1,000–₹2,500 per person for a casual-to-upmarket dinner with drinks. Keep the evening unhurried, with time to wander through the complex or continue conversations over coffee. Arrange the return vehicles in advance, as Bengaluru traffic can make a short distance take 30–60 minutes.
Move the day fully indoors to avoid Hyderabad-style heat; since this itinerary is based in Bengaluru, begin at Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) in Shanthala Nagar. Allow 1½–2 hours for the galleries, with a short guided discussion or small-group prompt to make the visit more engaging for 15 colleagues. Confirm current opening hours, group policies, and any guided-tour availability before booking, as admission and tour arrangements can vary.
Use pre-booked cabs or a minibus for the group and build in 15–30 minutes between venues for Bengaluru traffic. After the museum, take lunch in the central business district rather than adding a distant stop; allow approximately ₹500–₹1,200 per person for a comfortable casual-to-upscale lunch.
Continue to Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum on Kasturba Road, allowing roughly 1½–2 hours for the interactive exhibits. It works well as a relaxed team activity and keeps everyone cool indoors, though the exhibits may be busier with school groups. Check the museum’s current opening schedule and group-ticket procedure in advance, and allow additional time for entry queues.
Keep the afternoon flexible after the museum for the all-hands wrap-up, feedback round, and informal conversations. If the team needs a more structured meeting space, reserve a hotel meeting room or serviced-office conference room nearby rather than relying on seating at an attraction.
Finish at UB City on Vittal Mallya Road, allowing about 15–25 minutes by vehicle from the museum in light traffic, with extra buffer during the evening peak. Reserve an indoor restaurant table or private dining area for all 15 attendees and confirm dietary requirements, seating, and whether a short presentation is possible. Dinner will typically be around ₹1,500–₹3,500 per person depending on the restaurant and menu.
Use the meal for final announcements, appreciation remarks, and next-year planning. Arrange return vehicles in advance, particularly if everyone is staying in different parts of Bengaluru; app-based cabs are practical, but a pre-booked minibus is easier for keeping the group together.
