Krishna Rajendra Market/City Market is an old wholesale bazaar selling almost everything from flowers, vegetables, fruits/dry fruits to steels and plastic boxes and much more. It's a nice place to visit even if you are not shopping. You can get "taste" of the old Bangalore at this bustling market.
I loved the flower market here. Baskets with flowers in bright colors.
Tip: walk up to the highest level of this market and look down!

I was visiting Bangalore on a business trip and had one day free during one of the weekend. Came to know about this Art of Bicycle Trips who organizes cycling tours around Bangalore. I believe, cycling is the best way to see in and around Bangalore. Joined them in their one day Nrityagram Safari. Nrityagram is a classical dance gurukal 40 km away from Bangalore. I was riding a bike almost after 10 years and it was quite exciting and refreshing. If you have weekend to spare in Bangalore, do take a biking trip with them.

Having lived in Bangalore for over 5 years, I have visited WonderLa just twice and never thought it was a big Deal. But last month I went to Disneyland and LegoLand, two of the most exciting Amusement parks in the world. And it was then that I realized how amazing WonderLa actually is.
With a huge Waterpark and dry rides, WonderLa can probably stand up to some of the best in the world. The 4D theatre, the Mixers and Shakers are best in class. And the 8water slide with an 85 deg fall is as thrilling as it gets.
Don't snub it down just because is in Bangalore and not New York or San Francisco. It is clearly a must do whether you live in Bangalore or are traveling to Bangalore.

Savandurga is said to be one of the largest rocks (monolith hill) in the world. The hill rises to 4,000 feet above sea level. The hill may be 30 kilometers outside Bangalore, but you have to drive around the hill so it takes 60 kilometers to get there. Surrounding the hill is the Savandurga Forest and Manchanabele dam.

My trips to Bangalore are always very short, this time it was no exception, just 36hours and i am back at the airport to catch a flight to Paris. but one can get things done, if planned in advance, which include looking books. I have sadly accepted the demise of Premier BookStore so was taken to this bookstore. While it is not an intellectuals book store i was pleasantly surprised at the variety of books, music and movies. purchases included two movies kabuliwala and ayurveda and a dance drama caled maya rawan... will watch them one of these days... DVDs for children and some on Yoga.. commercial establishment but a good place to buy gifts for others.. also many people in africa love bollywood movies so i picked three of them on recommendation with english subtitles to send to someone in Mali.

Go to Lal Bagh (botanical gardens), eat at Mavalli Tiffin Room, have a drink at NASA on Brigade road and check out the shops, or go to Commercial street around 11am and start haggling for gifts for your family, or wander around Cubbon park, or eat at Nagarjuna for some Andra style food, and make sure to visit Vishnu temple... and generally explore.
Crossing town in a rickshaw will take a while, so try and avoid too much back and forth driving to save time.
Enjoy, we loved Bangalore, a great city.

One of Bangalore main attractions, this temple is exclusively used for the worship of the sacred bull in Hinduism, known as Nandi, Lord Shiva's vahana, or animal mount. The word "Nandi" means "joyful" in the Sanskrit language.
The temple was built in 1537 by a local ruler under the Vijayanagara empire in the Vijayanagara architectural style. The ruler, a feudatory chief named Kempe Gowda, also founded the city of Bangalore. The temple is named after the large granite Nandi monolith placed on a plinth in the temple shrine (garbhagriha) which has become blackened from years of being rubbed with charcoal and oil. It is believed to be the largest Nandi murthis in the world with a height of approximately 15 ft (4.6 m) and a length of approximately 20 feet (6.1 m). The temple is a small one, consisting only of the shrine fronted by a porch in the Vijayanagara style. The current tower over the shrine was constructed in the early 20th century and is adorned with Saivite figures and motifs.
