Bengaluru in February
Karnataka, India
Go in February — the weather is cooler and drier, Lalbagh's flower festivals are on, and Bengaluru's food and craft-beer scene peaks without the summer heat.
February in Bengaluru is the technical peak. Rainfall under 10mm, daytime 25-30C, humidity at 50 percent — the year-low. The Lalbagh Republic Day Flower Show (twice annually, Republic Day and Independence Day) runs Jan 26 to Feb 4 inside the Glass House — Karnataka Horticulture Department theme builds rotate annually, ₹80 entry, 30,000-50,000 visitors on the closing weekend. Cubbon Park (300 acres, free 6am-6pm) at year-clean walking conditions. Bangalore Palace (Tudor 1887, ₹230 Indian) 10am-5.30pm. Tipu's Summer Palace (1791, Indo-Islamic teak-pillared, off KR Market) 8.30am-5.30pm ₹15. Bull Temple Basavanagudi (1537 Kempe Gowda, 4.6m monolithic Nandi) 6am-12.30pm + 5-9pm. Brahmins Coffee Bar (1965 Shankarpuram, idli-vada-coffee, ₹40-80 plates, closes 12.30pm) and CTR Malleshwaram (1920s, benne dosa) hold breakfast peak. Airlines Hotel (1959 Lavelle Road) parathas + filter coffee from 6am. Empire Restaurant (Mughlai chain) and Truffles (burger institution) hold dinner traffic. Hotel rates climb 10-15 percent versus January as MICE conference season peaks: Leela Palace ₹13-16k, Taj West End ₹12-15k, ITC Gardenia ₹11-14k.
