From Yeshwantpur, head towards Nelamangala until you see a traffic signal showing Hesaraghatta on the directions board. Take a right turn here and proceed towards Hesaraghatta village. En route, you will pass via Chikkabanavara railway station. After the Hesaraghatta village, proceed till you see a Jnana Bharati institution. (If in doubt, ask for Dasenahalli) Take a right turn immediately after this. Drive on till you see a large gate at what would look like a dead-end from a distance. Go till the gate, the road curves left. After this, the second right turn leads you into the vast grassland. For Nrityagram, take the same way out, as you came in from the grassland and turn right. Follow the directions to reach Nrityagram
Again personal preferences take precedence. Monsoons are great. Winter should be fine too, if you can brave the cold. Summer is the least preferred time. As mentioned earlier, early mornings are the best time!
Not much options to eat around the here. There is a Taj Kuteeram opposite Nrityagram. Plan ahead and carry food if needed. I would recommend carrying some food and eating it for breakfast at the grassland – please DO NOT litter the surroundings!
The grassland offers something for every type of photo enthusiast. There are lots of birds in the morning, expansive landscapes, bugs, flowers, etc. I’d suggest carrying a ultra-wide (for unique perspectives of subjects), a prime (sure, you’d like portraits here – if not you, may be your girlfriend/wife :D), a long tele (birds). There are things to photograph in Nrityagram too, though they disallow photographing dancers while lessons are in progress
