During this period the number of tourists visiting the city is at its peak, so those wishing to avoid the rush may want to visit Bengaluru just before or after this period. Be advised that the rainy season in Bengaluru tends to commence in May and only lets up around October, so it may be best to plan your trip around this period if you don’t like the rain.
