But did you know that there are plenty of hidden gems in Bangalore that are not so known?
Karetrip is right here to help you find the details of those secret spots in Bangalore.
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
Tucked in one of the busiest areas in Bangalore, Gandhinagar, the Mahabodhi Society provides a startling contrast to busy life. The society has in its premises a congregation hall, a stupa and a Bodhi tree under which is seated a statue of the Buddha.
- Omkar Hills
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. Apart from the breathtaking view from this place, there's also a banyan tree which houses statues of many sages of India. There's a huge clock which chimes every hour and is claimed to be the second biggest clock in the world after Big Ben. The recently built Dwadasha Jyotirlinga Temple attracts thousands during the festival of Mahashivaratri.
- Pyramid Valley
Belonging to Harohalli Hobli of Kanakapura Taluk, Pyramid Valley is on the Bangalore border. Originally named Maitreya-Buddha Vishwalayam, the place is fondly called the Pyramid Valley.

- Sridhara Gudda
Located in Kengeri, Sridhara Gudda, is a centre for self realisation and a confluence of an ashram and a temple.

The tree is said to be more than 400 years old. Though not at its healthy best, the tree gives shelter and peace to all travellers alike.
- Bangalore Fort
Right in the heart of the city is the Bangalore Fort. Though it carries historical weight, it is a place rarely visited. Kempegowda, popularly known as the founder of Bangalore, originally built the fort with mud in 1537. Later, Haider Ali converted it to a stone fort in 1761. The British dismantled most of the fort leaving out the Delhi Gate and remnants of 2 bastions.
