Unusual & Intriguing Places In Bangalore

• Krishna Rao Park

There are quite a huge number of people who know this public park, but yet, not many know how peaceful it is. It is less crowded, cleaner and doesn't have many tourists visiting like that of Cubbon park or Lalbagh. Want a fresh dose of oxygen and some peace? This is a must visit spot.

• Gulakmaale Lake

Off Kanakapura Road, Gulakmaale Lake is just too beautiful. Hardly anybody knows about it, except for those into bird watching and nature photographers of Bangalore (not all of them). It's not a lake that has water all seasons, so head out after a spell of rain. The birds you find here are spectacular. Do not miss the sunset!

• Turahalli Hill

Turahalli Hill is slowly becoming known to people but is actually the most unpopular Rock Climbing and Cycling arena (natural!) In Bangalore. You need to go there by around 6 am to enjoy the view and do some bird watching. Yes, do wish the cyclists and rock climbers a happy morning! Thindi Beedi

Thindi Beedi or Food Street in VV Puram is one of the most colourful and delectable places in the city. This is a street filled with all kinds of food, you need to visit at least 4-5 times to try all varieties! Open only post dusk, it is a must visit street for foodies!

• Mahabodhi Society

The peak point of Bangalore is surprisingly among the lesser known places in the city. The sunset and the sunrise look beautiful from up here.
