Hi,

My mate and I have been 'let off the leash' by our our wives and we're on an impromptu Indian adventure with the aim to see an Indian premier League match.

Having scoured trip adviser until my eyes have bled, can anyone local recommend a decent (as in clean, friendly hotel that is reasonably priced) in Bangalore?

Where would you sit in the stadium to get the best 'rush' when watching the matches - a safe but wild atmosphere would be nice.

Unfortunately...my friend and I have only 3 days in Bangalore before catching the train towards Hampi (in my youth, I used to work for British Rail and am fully conversant with just how GOOD Indian Rail is...biggest rail employer in the world...so got that covered)

What would you do to experience the best of Bangalore in 3 days?

Where's the best place to eat...that our non Karnatakan stomachs can handle.

Where should we NOT go...

Pretty excited...since this is my first 'boys' adventure in a decade..

I will arrive late at night.Is it possible to take prepaid taxi to Ooty? How much do i have to pay for the fare?

Is there direct bus from Bangalore to Ooty? Where is the bus station and how much is the fare?
Thank you very much for information which will come.

wd like to have some recommendations on

1 value for money pubs in bangalore. not high end places but places where u can have reasonably good food good ambience for friends to ciollect and have a good time.

2 good places to eat food which will be open quite late into the night.

hi there

im visiting bangalore and surrounding destinations.

iam taking the tumkur road and travelling upto banavara/kadur to visit either cmaglur or halebidu.

wanted to know if there is a direct roiad from banavara to halebid temple?
how good is the road from kadur to chikmaglur?

also wanted to know if you can travel to mysore from chennarayapatna via kriahnarajpet has anyone done this route?

Hi, I shall be in Bangalore from 10th-18th January 2009 for my 1st visit.
I am looking at options to move and work here- I am an experienced International recruitment Director.

Are there any VT meets planned for that week? I would love to meet up with people living in Bangalore for their advice and opinions.

Expedia reccommends The Bangalore Gate hotel as a good value centrally located hotel- any comments on this hotel? has anyone stayed there before?

How easy is it to travel to Mysore or to Goa, how long and what method is best?

Hi, an Indian friend told us some stories about the campus of the Infosys IT company in Bangalore. According to his stories and what I read it must be a truly interesting place. I read that the company area is generally not open to the public, but it is possible to take guided tours on special occasions ?

Hi, Im coming to Bangalore in December for anything between 4-6 months for more or less full time training in Kathak, Contemporary and Kalari alongside my graphic design internship. I have been to India 4 times now and am a british indian, however this will be my first time as a girl alone in a new city. I guess I want comfort on the usual things, accomodation safety, travel safety and I really really want to make friends...genuine ones so I feel im coming to someone I know. Also if you have any info on good dance schools id appreciate it and also about how much fees should be ( i want to check im not being ripped off as a young female foreigner as it happens without fail on each trip. haha
please help me

I can not believe that Bangalore has close to 1000members and no VT meet excpet a few in past 2 years! Many of the members have not logged in since ages and/or not created their homepage. I would believe that the city with many travellers (perhaps more business than tourists) would be interested in meeting, discussing, networking, socialising and perhaps travelling together!

Let us seek volunteers!

Will be arriving in Bangalore at about 11pm and just wondering if any one has any idea if there is any hotels that offer 24 hour check in but also not to expensive.
Also, what is the safest and easiest way to get to your hotel at that time of night?
Finally, i am planning to travel to Kerala after ive spent a couple of days in Bangalore, any suggestions at an easy and cheap option on getting there?

I will be arriving at Bangalore on 22 August 2008. I understand that the flight is landing at the new airport. Can someone direct me how to travel from the new airport by bus to Yeswantpur railway station? How much is the fare and also how much does it cost to travel by taxi? Any suggestion of budget accomodation around Yeswantpur railway station?

Thank you

Is short skirts or short dresses appropriate?

Hi, I will be staying at Le Meridian hotel and would like to know more on the surroundings as the information on the hotel website is pretty limited.

Is it going to be hot in June? I will be there on the week of 9th June for a week.

Thanks so much.

Hi!
I am going to Bangalore for 3 weeks in June-July. This will be my fist trip to India and I can hardly sleep at night, I am SO excited!!!
I do not know what to expect - but I believe that that is the fun fo travelling, right?!
I am going to be volunteering in an orphanage on the outskirts of Bangalore. I have no idea of what my job there will really entail or what my working hours will be, but I am quite sure that I will have some time off here and there to go discover the area a bit.
So, I guess I would welcome ANY suggestions of things to see/do/explore/taste/wear/read/play/visit in Bangalore and the area that would be safe for a young female travelling alone. (I am REALLY into photography and children - I am a teacher here in the USA)
Thanks!

My brother who lives in Bangalore, and I, are planning to meet up in Kerela, and then drive back to Bangalore.

Schedule is Bangalore-Cochin-Ooty-Bandipur-Mysore-Bangalore. We are looking to hire a MPV (Innova/Sumo) for 10-12 days on a self drive option. I have looked at the majors (Avis/Hertz/Europcar) but find their cost too prohibitive.

Can you tell me if it is possible, and maybe pass on some contacts. My brother is a new banglorite and wouldn't have the contacts.

Thank you for reading this post, and much appreciate any help you can provide.
