Bengaluru
12° 58.296' N 77° 35.676' EQUIET SIDE
IISc Campus
13° 1.426' N 77° 34.153' EMy workplace, but it deserves a place here. Old stone, serious trees, and a campus that makes Bengaluru feel slower and smarter at the same time.
Sankey Tank
13° 0.600' N 77° 34.200' EBest kept for morning walks. Close enough to feel like an extension of the IISc side of town, and calm in that particular Bengaluru way before the city properly wakes up.
Kadu Malleshwara Temple
13° 0.298' N 77° 34.287' EAn old anchor in the middle of the neighborhood. If Malleshwaram has a spiritual center of gravity, this is probably it.
EASY EVENINGS
Malleshwaram 8th Cross
12° 59.989' N 77° 34.277' EOne of those Bengaluru stretches that still feels like a neighborhood first and a destination second. Flower sellers, old shops, breakfast spots, temple bells, and enough texture to keep you looking around.
Orion Mall / Lakeside Promenade
13° 0.663' N 77° 33.296' EAn easy fallback plan when you do not want to overthink the evening. Walk a bit, eat something, sit by the water, call it enough.
Dyu Art Cafe, Koramangala
12° 56.246' N 77° 37.059' EOne of the softer corners in Koramangala. Old-bungalow energy, long conversations, and the kind of place that makes an evening feel slower than the city around it.
FOOD BREAKS
Pizza 4P's, Indiranagar
12° 58.203' N 77° 38.174' EWorth crossing the city for. A good reminder that Bengaluru’s cafe-and-dinner culture is not always about speed; sometimes it’s about taking a table seriously and staying a while.
ULO Ice Cream, Indiranagar
12° 58.328' N 77° 38.333' EAn easy dessert stop when you want something cold and a little indulgent without turning it into a whole outing. Good for ending an Indiranagar loop on a lighter note.
CTR, Malleshwaram
12° 59.896' N 77° 34.169' EFor the kind of food break that immediately turns into a proper detour. Benne dosa, old Bengaluru energy, and the sort of place that makes Malleshwaram feel complete.
FOR FUN
The Grid, Koramangala
12° 56.072' N 77° 37.595' EBowling, bright lights, and the kind of evening that doesn’t need to become a major plan. Good when you want something social and slightly silly after a week that has been too competent.
Crossword, Orion Mall
13° 0.663' N 77° 33.296' EThe stop that makes a quick mall visit take much longer. Good for books, stationery, and leaving with at least one unnecessary thing.
Claytopia, Indiranagar
12° 58.287' N 77° 38.470' ESlightly nostalgic, slightly chaotic, and more fun than it has any right to be. Good for slow, mildly unserious evenings with your hands occupied.
