Bangalore
The IT capital of India, Bangalore is a rapidly modernising, fast-paced city as well as the gateway to Karnataka and the tranquil countryside of the Western Ghats. A lively, burgeoning city with a young population, its restaurants and bars make it an interesting place for a night or two before heading to the laidback charm of the hills.
While lacking the world-class sights of Delhi or Mumbai, Bangalore’s Raj-era buildings remain, and its modern architecture showcases India’s future, while the galleries, museums, tranquil gardens and bustling markets epitomise the city’s diversity.
