Itinerary

  • Malleswaram

    8 AM- We meet for breakfast at an old eatery, renowned for its traditional South Indian dishes. The dosa here is highly recommended. After a sumptuous traditional breakfast we walk to the local market. The market is a riot of colors as the street vendors peddle flowers, vegetables, fruits, clothes, household items, trinkets, handicrafts, utensils. Next in our Bangalore walk we will visit a famous Silk Saree shop which is the city’s choicest destination for purchase of silk sarees for big occasions like weddings.

    1 hour

  • Kadu Malleshwara Temple

    We walk to a temple called Kadu Malleswara, after which the neighborhood has been named. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this temple is a splendid specimen for the Dravidian style of architecture and was built by Venkoji Rao Bhosle, the brother of the great Maratha King Shivaji.

    30 minutes

  • Dakshina Mukha Nandi Teertha Kalyani Kshetra

    Our next destination in this Bangalore walk is a far more ancient temple called Nandeeswara. This ancient temple was lost to the world for many years and was excavated only recently by archeologists. The local people here says this temple is more than 7000 years old! The temple is full of mysteries. A steady stream of water from unknown sources runs from the mouth of the statue of Nandi bull to the statue of a Shiva Linga a little below it. There are many turtles to be met at this temple!

    30 minutes

  • Sankey Tank

    Our walk takes us to Sankey Tank, an important source of drinking water for Bangalore. Built 1882 by Madras Sappers Regiment, Sankey Tank is very popular today among the walkers and joggers.

    15 minutes

  • ISKCON Temple Bangalore

    Our last stop in this Bangalore walk is a modern temple of Lord Krishna located on top of a small hill. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was founded in 1966 in New York City by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada  Its core beliefs are based on select traditional Hindu scriptures, particularly the Bhagavad-gītāand the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. ISKCON was formed to spread the practice of bhakti yoga, in which those involved (bhaktas) dedicate their thoughts and actions towards pleasing the Supreme Lord, Krishna. ISKCON today is a worldwide confederation of more than 550 centres.

Great tour

Published on Mar, 2025

The tour was very good the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the places we visited. The temples included in the tour were beautiful.

Amazing experience

Published on Feb, 2025

I had an amazing time on this tour with my friendly and knowledgeable guide! He was able to answer all my questions about Hinduism in great detail and provided a fascinating explanation of the basics of this rich religion. We visited many beautiful temples in Malleswaram, where I got to witness traditional rituals and even sample some holy water. The tour also included a scenic walk through bustling markets and a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the temples of Bangalore—it's an unforgettable experience!

Temples, Dosa, Coffee = Perfect morning.

Published on Jan, 2025

Our morning with Vignesh was interesting and fun. Vigy shared just enough information about the temples to help my daughter and I understand, answering questions and sharing stories along the way. Enjoyed the break for delicious dosa and coffee. I appreciated the contact prior to our outing to confirm pick up at our hotel.

Fun 1/2 day tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent tour. Mayuri was a great host. Very knowledgeable about the history of the temples and neighborhoods we visited

Walking The Talk

Published on Dec, 2024

Divakar, our guide was excellent! He knew a lot about both the history of Malleshwaram and the practices and rituals in the various temples we visited. We learned a lot. The breakfast/brunch was scrumptious and overall I’d say the experience was outstanding. Definitely recommend.
