Bangalore ( बंगलौर ). A voyage to ancient and modern Bangalore (Bengaluru), Southern Karnataka, India, Asia

 

Rebranded Bengaluru in November 2006, the city more commonly known as Bangalore is not an obvious charmer.

The crazy traffic, associated pollution and creaking infrastructure of this IT boom town will fast drive you demented.

However, even though locals rarely sing Bengaluru’s praises as a tourist destination, it’s not a dead loss.


There are a handful of interesting sights, the climate is benevolent, the city’s reputation for green spaces is well deserved, and the youthful energy and imagination (not to mention disposable income) of the ITocracy fuels a progressive dining, drinking and shopping scene – one of the best in India, in fact.
