At the heart of Bengaluru lies its markets, locally called “pete”. This is where the locals come each morning to pick out the freshest vegetables, spices, silks or maybe even plan a wedding. This is the epicenter of business for local and migrant traders in the city. We’ll walk around the many markets that dot the old quarters and take breaks to fuel up on delicious local treats.
