  • 4A view of the real Bangalore

    Lohit was a great guide and spoke excellent English. He took us on a tuk-tuk and walking tour of the real Bangalore. Definitely went to places we would never dare to venture without a guide. The food stop at LNR was also interesting. A good tour; quite expensive but felt secure

About Bangalore

Bangalore, or Bengaluru, is the garden city of southern India, a technology hub of parks, palaces, pubs and filter coffee on a cool plateau.

Bengaluru, long known in English as Bangalore, is the capital of Karnataka and sits on a plateau about 900 metres up, which gives it a mild climate. The city's nickname, the Garden City, comes from public parks like Cubbon Park and the Lalbagh Botanical Garden, where a glasshouse modelled on London's Crystal Palace holds flower shows. The Vidhana Soudha, the state legislature, is one of its grandest buildings.

Top-ranked sights in Bangalore: Vidhana Soudha, KR Market (Krishnarajendra City Market), Lalbagh Botanical Gardens.
