Known as the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore, whose official name is Bengaluru, enjoys such a pleasant climate that it was once known as Pensioners’ Paradise. These days it’s more about bright young things who work in the IT industry and like to kick up their heels after hours. Their infectious energy gives this capital city of Karnataka its cheerful vibe.
Unlike most destinations in India, Bangalore is made for strolling, window-shopping and dawdling in cafés especially along MG Road and Commercial Street. For a bit of greenery, head to Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, which has lush grounds and a glass house modelled on London's Crystal Palace. Another must-see is the rosewood Summer Palace of Tipu Sultan, known for his fierce resistance against British dominance. You may wonder what he would think of Bangalore today. That said, there are few places in India as welcoming to the visitor. Book your hotel today and enjoy the charms of this Garden City. |
