Jaipur or Bangalore July 2016
I am familiar with Delhi but have the chance to hold meetings in either Bangalore or Jaipur this coming July. I read that it is monsoon season and wonder if those familiar have advice on which city would be best weather wise? My visit would be during first and second week of July. From a tourism perspective both cities appear very different, strong recommendations on one over the other in July? Any particular web resources for tourism you have found most helpful? Many thanks!

I should add, heat for me is preferable to all/most of day rain. Other major cities I might consider for a week (those two were suggested because of work and would like to go beyond Delhi)?

Thanks for your input. I do have some flexibility, I didn't realize the extent of Marriott facilities in India and could spend the week in city with a Marriott property if that opens better options up?

Jaipur is excellent an option if you can manage the brutal summer in India this year.
If you decide to go to Bangalore, rent a cab (with a driver) from a reputable agency. Dont drive. You could try visiting Coorg, Sakleshpur, Chickmagalur, Ooty. These places are on the western ghats and monsoon would be setting in around July. Its beautiful.

Thanks, really appreciate both your input. Because of work I have to use a Marriott. The JW Marriott in BLR looks much nicer than the standard Marriott in Jaipur.
I would be spending lots of time during the day in the hotel (unfortunately). If anyone has experiences at these properties, is the Jaipur Marriott decent in terms of rooms, executive lounge, meeting spaces or does it pale in comparison to the JW in BLR? Again, many thanks! D

You cant hope to go these two places in the month of July because these places are extremely hot in month of July. You cant bear the hot weather. so think about something else. You can go for Shimla or Jammu and Kashmir.

I was in Bengaluru last late July/early August, and weather was fantastic. No rain and relatively temperate. It has a reputation for having amongst the best weather in all of India. I was also in Rajistan, and the area that we were in had a near perfect microclimate, in August.
