Bangalore represents an important center for business, science and technology and many visitors are immediately struck by how different it is from other Indian cities.
Trendy Western-style bars and restaurants are packed with young Indians embracing the opportunities that the city has to offer. Despite its modern style, Bangalore still retains remnants of its past.
Colonial past
This is where the British established their regional headquarters after defeating Tipu Sultan, and they continued to develop the city for the next fifty years. The combined legacies of Tipu Sultan, Haider Ali and the British live on in the Lalbagh Botanical Garden and the numerous parks and tree-lined avenues.
Cooler climate
Located at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters (about 3,280 feet) with plenty of green shady areas, Bangalore’s climate is cooler than other southern cities.
Visiting Bangalore
Located in the south of Karnataka, Bangalore is an excellent starting point for tours of southern India.
