Explore the highlights of Bangalore with your own private guide on a full-day tour of top attractions including ISKCON Temple. You'll also take in the Tudor-style architecture of Bangalore Palace, see the tucked away remnants of Tipu Sultan Fort and Palace, stroll the lush grounds of Lalbagh Botanical Garden, and visit the rock-cut caves of Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple. Learn about the history of Bangalore from your guide as you travel in your own private vehicle on a tour that includes hotel pickup and drop-off.

Experience a genuine immersion into local Indian culture with your native host in Bengaluru — a personal, family-style welcome that sets this activity apart from a typical cooking class. Start with an optional visit to a local market with your host, where you'll hand-pick the fresh vegetables, spices, and herbs for your meal and see firsthand why freshness matters in Indian cooking. Then customize your hands-on culinary experience: choose from dishes like mavinakai chitranna (tangy raw mango rice), Chettinad chicken curry, or sambar, spanning different regional flavors and techniques rather than following a fixed menu. Your native host shares genuine insights into Indian cooking and culture throughout, so you leave not just with recipes, but with real stories, techniques, and a taste of authentic Bengaluru hospitality.

If you’re short on time in Karnataka state, simplify your trip to Mysore on a private guided tour from Bangalore.

Visit lavish Mysore Palace and Devraj Market along with your choice of the Sand Museum, Somnathpur Temple, Chamundi Hills, or the Dariya Daulat Bagh and Colonel Bailey's Dungeon in nearby Srirangapatna.
