Overview

On this private 3.5-hour tour, discover Bangalore, which was founded 500 years back by the founder of the city Kempegowda. Experience the culture, customs, and traditions come alive in the narrow alleys of this off the beaten path, where you pass through an ancient church, 380 year old temple, heritage building, historic mosque, an old wrestling house, market places, and a traditional healing place. This is the side of Bangalore you will experience only after tossing away the guide book, and one that you will remember for years to come.

What To Expect

We will be walking down the oldest area in Bangalore where the city came to life in the 16th century. This place has several fascinating stories intertwined in its narrow streets and old buildings. Alongside looking at several points of interest that lend this place its rustic charm we will also:

- Have coffee from a mobile van, where you get introduced to the area and the culture of people here.
- We proceed to see and hear a fascinating story of an English Missionary who built the first church in this area, the oldest in this part of town.
- This tour will take you to another old building which was a crucial location for the reserve police to disperse the mob during the Quit India movement in the 1940's.
- Listen to the story of how Bangalore came to life at the very founding corner laid by the founder Kempegowda.
