Everyone knows the Lalbagh Botanical Garden and Cubbon Park, but Bangalore has a treasure trove of hidden gems that go unnoticed by most.

1. Ranga Shankara

Located in JP Nagar, this intimate theatre is the soul of Bangalore’s performing arts scene. Watch a play, sip on a chai, and soak in the vibes.

2. Turahalli Forest

Just 20 minutes from the city, this forest is a slice of green heaven perfect for early morning treks and birdwatching.

3. Blossom Book House

Book lovers rejoice! This Church Street gem has everything from rare finds to new releases, stacked floor to ceiling.

4. The Hole in the Wall Cafe

Tucked in Koramangala, this breakfast joint offers the fluffiest pancakes and a cozy vibe.

5. Nrityagram Dance Village

Located in Hesaraghatta, this is not just a dance school but a cultural retreat. Traditional Indian dance finds its haven here.

Next weekend, skip the malls and step into these lesser-known marvels. You won’t regret it.
