Whether you’re new to the city or a long-time resident looking to explore Bangalore’s heritage, this fun run route is for you! It starts at Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace and heads to Bangalore Palace 5 Kms. away – and traverses\u00a0some remarkable heritage sites along the way. Want to run a 10KM? Turn around once you reach the Bangalore Palace and retrace your path back to the Tipu Sultan Summer Palace. We recommend you run\/walk this route around dawn to avoid traffic – you might still get to witness the hustle and bustle of the flower market at Avenue Road.<\/div>\n
