Start your tour after meeting your private local guide early in the morning. Walk from Town hall in Bengaluru city towards K R Market. The best way to experience city is in the morning, when there is no traffic. The city awakens early and the wholesale Flower market is a photographer’s delight. See the morning trucks arrive with their fragrant loads of flowers, petals and leaves. Enjoy the colourful chaos that ensues, and be prepared for a sensory overload! You will also get a great introduction to seasonal vegetables and fruits, as well as other local specialties. See the crowds and colours in action. The chaos of vehicles, humans and carts all charged up with morning energy. See sellers ready with their produce with their stalls. Farmers trickling in with their produce. Buyers haggling for prices with sellers. The tea sellers on their bicycle. You can also sip a cup of masala chai. Please use your free time to walk and click the pictures the way you wanted – portraits, macro, street scenes etc.
