Bangalore Travel Guide





Bangalore also known as Bengaluru is the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka. Bangalore is nicknamed the Garden City and was once called a pensioner's paradise. Located on the Deccan Plateau in the south eastern part of Karnataka, Bangalore is India's third most populous city and fifth-most populous urban agglomeration.
Few Cities in the World have the power to attract and motivate a casual visitor to move there permanently. Bangalore is one of those rare cities which make people who are new to the City to call themselves proud Bangaloreans.

Bangalore, a real cool place on Planet Earth is the capital of Karnataka, in the southern part of India. It is indeed cool - the people, the place and of course the weather.


The headquarters of several public sector undertakings such as Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) are located in Bangalore. In June 1972 the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was established under the Department of Space and headquartered in the city. Bangalore's IT industry is divided into three mainclusters Software Technology Parks of India, International Tech Park, Bangalore and Electronics City. UB City, the headquarters of the United Breweries Group, is a high-end commercial zone. Infosys and Wipro, India's second and third largest software companies are headquartered in Bangalore, as are many of the global SEI-CMM Level 5 Companies.


Bangalore is unique in many ways. It has the most pleasant weather throughout the year which got itself the name "Pensioner's Paradise". It is the only cosmopolitan and multilingual city after Delhi in the country which has welcomed everyone who wanted to make their home in the city and this speaks of the hospitable nature of the Bangaloreans. Bangalore which was only a city known within India a couple of decades ago has now found its place in the World Map because of the export of best quality software and software professionals to the entire world. Bangalore is now on everybody's tour itinerary while visiting India and i have made a sincere attempt to provide all the necessary information both to tourists and residents of Bangalore. If there is any information which you feel should find a place in this blog, please drop a comment and would be certainly considered.

There are many great places to see in Bangalore. I have added some of the best places.

Vidhana Soudha: The legislative House of Karnataka, this granite building was built by Sri K. Hanumanthaiya, Chief Minister of the then Mysore state 1951 to 1956. The then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharalal Nehru laid the foundation on 13th July 1951. It was built at an expenditure of Rs 18.4 million. Marvel of neo-dravidian architecture and one of the most imposing building not only in Bangalore but in India.
