Spend your last day diving deeper into Bangalore's history and culture. Head to the Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, located in the heart of the city. Next, visit the Bangalore Palace, built-in 1887 and modeled after England's Windsor Castle. You might also want to visit the Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, which house a beautiful glasshouse and several rare plant species. End the day at the Vidhana Soudha, one of the city's landmark buildings and located in Cubbon Park.
If you have an extra day, visit the Bannerghatta National Park, which is home to tigers, elephants, and other wildlife. You could also check out the Bangalore Fort, built by Kempegowda, the city's founder. If you only have three days, skip the Bangalore City Tour. If you have more time, consider combining all the hills treks and plan a weekend camping trip. Don't forget to bring sunscreen, hats, and comfortable shoes for trekking.
