I may have time to do some touring, perhaps 2-3 weeks, before business when I get to Bangalore. I'm looking for a reliable, reasonably-priced travel agent with an office in Bangalore. Does anyone have experience ? I won't have time to make arrangements before I leave my home. Thanks.

You can mail my agent and check : "Pres Tour" <[email protected]>, I am not sure where all they have offices.

You could try Riya travels ( www.riyatravels.com ). I've used their Kochi branch and was well satisfied. Don't know about the Bangalore branch though. Another local travel agency is Raj travels ( www.raj-travels.com ) although I have no personal experience with them. They have a branch in Bangalore at Cunningham road. And of course, Cox-and-Kings and Thomas Cook both have branches in Bangalore.

Thanks to you both. I will try them. I am in Bangalore now. Hot, but not much rain yet, just a little in the evenings

I will be going to Bangalore in October, just over-night before going to Mysore by train.
Need a reliable agent to recommend good clean safe not too expensive hotel near railway station and arrange airport pick-up. A friend recommended
