🗓️ Bangalore Through the Year
Bangalore enjoys a pleasant climate year-round, but it's best to avoid the monsoon season. March to May sees warm temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C, ideal for outdoor activities. June to October brings heavy rainfall, with July and August experiencing the highest levels. The weather cools down significantly from November to February, with temperatures between 20°C and 30°C, making it the most comfortable period for sightseeing. Evenings during winter can get quite cool, requiring light woollens. The absolute best time to visit Bangalore is from September to February, after the monsoon and before the summer heat sets in.
Festivals and events worth timing your visit
Bangalore Karaga takes place in March/April. This is a traditional Vahnikula Thigala community festival. A pot is carried on the head through the city. Ganesh Chaturthi in August/September is celebrated with elaborate idols and processions throughout the city. Diwali, the festival of lights, falls in October/November. The entire city is illuminated and celebrations happen in homes and public spaces. Ugadi, the Kannada New Year, is in March/April. Special foods are prepared and cultural events are held.
What to pack
For the September to February peak season, pack light cotton clothing for daytime and light woollens or a jacket for the evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the city. Sunglasses and sunscreen are important year-round due to the strong sun. During the monsoon months (June to October), carry an umbrella or raincoat. While Bangalore is relatively modern, it's advisable to dress modestly when visiting temples or religious sites.
Saving money
The cheapest time to visit Bangalore is generally during the monsoon season, from June to August, when flight and hotel prices can be 20-30% lower. Look for budget-friendly accommodations in areas like Indiranagar or Koramangala. Utilize Bangalore's metro and bus services for affordable transportation. Explore street food options in areas like VV Puram for inexpensive and tasty meals. Many parks and gardens in Bangalore offer free entry. Booking flights and hotels 4-6 weeks in advance can often result in better deals. Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR) is the nearest airport.
