Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can visit the Bannerghatta National Park or the Innovative Film City which are popular tourist spots in Bangalore. If you have less time, you can skip visiting either Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace or the Bangalore Museum. You should also carry a water bottle, sunscreen, and wear comfortable shoes as it can get hot and humid during the day. Avoid visiting religious places during peak hours as they can get crowded.
