We had a guide for the city and our first stop was Amber (pronounced Amer) fort. A steep ramp led to the entrance, at which point you could walk up or take an elephant ride up.

The great attraction for me is that Koshy's is an old-established Bangalore eatery, which feels very much in touch with the city's history. Its decor reflects this. I have had breakfast there, and the food was quite enjoyable. I have eaten dinner in the fancier part of the restaurant, and I was disappointed. The food was nothing special - maybe a...

The bus leaves at 3.30pm from a small bus stand at the southern end of the...
