Useful tips

If you have more time, take a day-trip to Nandi Hills to encounter the scenic greenery of the surroundings and the ancient Tipu Sultan fort. If you have less time, we suggest skipping VV Puram food street from the list, but do not miss experiencing Bangalore's delectable and affordable street food. The preferred mode of transportation for all four days is the cheap and convenient auto-rickshaw. If you find yourself with more free time, visit Cubbon Park - ideally, the perfect place for a morning run or yoga session.
