About Bangalore
Bangalore or Bengaluru, popularly known as the Silicon Valley of India, is the capital city of the
South Indian state of Karnataka. Situated on the Deccan Plateau, in the south-eastern part of
the state, the city experiences a moderate climate.
History of Bangalore
From the 50s, this beautiful city of gardens, also known as the Garden City, with its temperate
climate, lovely bungalows, tree-lined broad avenues and laid back ambience was a pensioner's
paradise.

Bengaluru derives its name from the Kannada words ‘benda kalluru’, which means the land of
boiled beans. According to legend, Veera Ballara, the Hoysala king, once lost his way during a
hunting expedition. Wandering around, he met an old lady who gave him boiled beans to eat. In
order to show his gratitude, he named the place, Benda Kalluru. Some historians believe that
the name was derived from the ‘benga’ or ‘ven kai’ tree.
Bangalore, as we know it today, was formed by Kempe Gowda. Formerly, Bangalore was ruled
by a number of rulers and dynasties, including the Vijayanagara Empire and Tipu Sultan. A
number of temples and monuments, which were built in the earlier days, are still a part of the
city’s landscape. Major towns and subdivisions were formed during various rules. The city was
sold to the rulers in Mysore in the earlier days and was later in the hands of the British whose
rule continued till Independence.
People & Culture of Bangalore

Bangalore has always seen a very diverse population, especially since modern times. It is a
multi-cultural city permeating class, religion and language. Even though it is a cosmopolitan city,
Bangalore holds on to its traditional features. Major festivals like Dasara, Deepavali, Ugadi,
Sankranthi and Ganesh Chaturthi are celebrated with great pomp and fervour. There are a lot
of festivals & events hosted in Bangalore like Karaga, Kadalekaye Parishe, Bangalore Habba,
Lalbagh Flower Show and more. Bangalore is also a centre of renowned colleges, academic
institutions, important central government establishments, scientific and research institutes and
organisations.
Bangalore has a very strong art and culture scene. It is home to various theatre groups; theatre
platforms like Rangashankara and Jagriti and numerous art galleries that showcase established
and emerging artists. Although Bangalore is a city rooted in tradition, it has a modern side to it.
The city’s nightlife best reflects that. Various restaurants, lounge bars and pubs have been
mushrooming across the city. Also, as it is a major IT hub, the city also has a huge population of
expats.
Things to do in Bangalore
The city also comprises a number of attractions, among which are the two botanical gardens,
Lal Bagh (Glass House) and Cubbon Park. Other attractions include Tipu Sultan’s Palace,
Bangalore Palace, Nandi Hills, Bannerghatta National Park and Mayo Hall. Vidhana
Soudha, Visvesvaraya Museum, HAL Aerospace Museum, Bull Temple and ISKCON Temple
draw a large number of tourists. The city is also home to one of the country’s biggest malls -
Mantri Mall in Malleswaram.
Food & Shopping in Bangalore

There are two distinct facets to shopping in Bangalore. Areas like M.G. Road, Brigade Road
and Commercial Street are the lively places in the city and also paradise for shoppers. Apart
from street shopping, Bangalore has a number of malls that house national and international
clothes and accessories brands such as UB City, Mantri Mall and Garuda Mall among others.
These brands range from high-end fashion houses to affordable labels. On the other hand, the
Page 2/14
old city has areas like Majestic, Chickpet and Cottonpet where a string of shops sell the most
affordable gadgets, textiles and other items.
Tourists have a host of food options to choose from when visiting Bangalore. The city has
innumerable ‘Darshinis’ in every nook and corner where South Indian treats like idlis and dosas
are offered. Bangalore also has a strong food culture, which is why it has restaurants serving
world cuisine, right from French to Vietnamese.
Travelling to Bangalore
Travellers can reach Bangalore from any destination in India by air, rail and road. The
Bangalore International Airport is connected with almost all major cities of the country and the
world. The city has three major railway stations – Bangalore City Junction, Bangalore
Cantonment and Yeshwanthpur Junction. The city is also well connected by buses run by the
KSRTC and other private operators to regions within the state as well as neighbouring states.
Travelling within Bangalore

The best way to explore Bangalore is by public transport. For a more organised tour, tourists
can sign up for Bangalore holiday packages. The city has many Volvo buses too that ferry
passengers to different areas within the city. Tourists can go on a ‘Bangalore Darshan’
organised by the State Tourism Department where they will be shown all the major attractions of
the city. Local tour operators too organise such tours. Another option to travel within the city is
by auto rickshaw or by hiring a taxi. The city also has the new Metro which connects M.G. Road
to Byappanahalli, which itself has become a tourist hotspot.
Accommodation options in Bangalore

There are numerous hotels in Bangalore. Areas like MG Road, Old Airport Road or Ulsoor
have luxury hotels and suites. For more budget options, tourists can opt to stay in hotels near
residential areas like Whitefield, Jayanagar or even near the Bangalore Railway Station.
Another alternative is to book a number of service apartments located in localities like
Indiranagar, Kormangala and Residency Road among other areas.
Although, Bangalore is known for its pleasant weather throughout the year, winter is the best
time to visit Bangalore.

Featured review about Bangalore

Bangalore
"We visited Nandi Hills. We shopped at the Pothys. Visited Malls ( Orion). The weather was nice
and cool in the evening and mornings. Slightly hot in day but manageable.
Food and Shopping: Shopping at Pothys is an amazing experience. Its a massive showroom
with millions of Sarees and dress material. It has kids and men's section also on higher floors.
Absolutely fascinating interior decoration can be seen inside Pothys which is stunning to say the
least. Ate at Orion mall food court. The ambience is beautiful and the food is good
Highlight of the trip: The trip to Nandi hills made the highlight. Breathtaking view of the sunrise
and the hills. Its to be experienced to be believed." - Prabhakar Ronad, Navi Mumbai, 3

My Bangalore Business trip at Domlur Layout
"It was a great trip for me I had to reach Domlur Layout near Indira Nagar from Kempegowda
international Airport at sharp 10 am and reached their by 9:30. I took uber cab it took us to
reach Domlur 1 hour 10 minutes. The traffic was very smooth but got confused in the evening.
The city is lacking smart traffic management like in Delhi. No Fob's, underpasses and Flyovers.
Metro work has to be done by adopting fast measures.
The weather was amazing it had rain on 12 and 13 Oct. Very fresh air in the city first time I
experienced. While is very much green large trees on the both sides of roads.
The food was nice besides Idly, dosa, especially The Andhra Based dum Biryani at Pot Britain
at Domlur. It was very tasty showing the great food culture at Banglore. Indira Nagar is the best
place to live around. Each and everything at walking distance. Traffic police is very Hardworking
and Disciplined. All infrastructure is very good people are very well behaved and supportive.
The Evolution of city is going on at its own space. The Real Estate is developing as jobs are
creating in the city. I completed my work on 14 Oct took uber taxi and reached at Banglore
Airport by 6 pm took my flight at 9:30 pm reached Delhi by 12:20pm. It was really great trip." -

Duty Free Store at Bengaluru International Airport
"Bengaluru International Airport fondly called as the Kempegowda International Airport has
become the hub of International travel in South India and slowly catching up to be in the top 5 in
India. It's wonderful to see that millions of foreigners also pass through this airport along with
Indians and NRIs who travel abroad. Nuance Duty free store in Bengaluru International Airport
showcases a touch of tradition along with best of duty free shopping for one of the busiest
airports in South India!
The design you see is inspired by (Ear Ring) worn by most Indian Traditional women, especially
South Indians. It has got elegance and grace written all over it. I like the fact also that Top 10
items are placed at the starting of the store itself. It gives passengers who are in a hurry a quick
chance to pick up the most in-demand merchandise.
The ceilings are nicely decorated with Rangolis (Kolams) which are mainly seen outside many
traditional South Indian houses. This is a welcome change to many boring Duty free shops
across the world which just focus on the product.
One of the highlights of the Nuance Duty Free store in Bengaluru International Airport is the
tasting bar by Chivas. It is an amazing way to taste before you buy. Chivas has some wonderful
contests too by which passengers can win pure gold!
Whisky Boutique at Nuance Duty free store is one of the best in the world and the prices are
lesser than Dubai Duty free or Singapore Duty free stores. One very interesting aspect we got
to know is that getting a trolley bag free with a couple of Single malts is more favored by
passengers than getting a discount. Nice perspective into the psyche of the travellers!
We interacted with Anirban Dutta Chowdhury, Country Head, Nuance India who told us that
apart from Alcohol, the next big thing is Chocolates specially newer ones like Neuhaus apart
from the usual suspects like Lindt, Snickers, Mars, etc.
The 900 shopping experience also has a Sound & Vision store which is equipped with the latest
gadgets technology can offer. Keeping in mind that gadgets can be obsolete in days, they
always refresh their stock and keep their prices competitive.
One of the highlights of the Electronics department is the Harman/Kardon speakers which
mesmerize the passengers and they love to interact with them. It was also interesting to know
that Nuance is a leading travel retailer with more than 60 locations in 18 countries across the
Page 5/14
globe. Nuance is a whirlwind subsidiary of international travel retailer Dufry AG (DUFN) of
Basel, Switzerland. In addition to an extensive portfolio of duty- and tax-free stores, brand
boutiques and concept stores, Nuance also provides in-flight services and operates a
wholesale and distribution business, supporting the travel retail sector.
One of the unique and best aspects of the Nuance store is that all their bags are made by
underprivileged women from an NGO called "Ubuntu At Work". So while you indulge in
shopping, you can get rid of guilt by assuring yourself that you are providing livelihood to many
underprivileged families in India!" - Nivedith Gajapathy, Bangalore, Oct 6, 2016
Trip to Bengaluru and Coorg.
"Bengaluru is a vibrant, throbbing, lively city. The people are warm and friendly. But Bengaluru
city traffic snarls are a bit unsettling and tiresome. But may be, in the years to come, the
upcoming Metro services would provide some relief. Coorg of course is a true delight, even
more so during the monsoon months of July and August. The whole of Coorg is a soothing,
serenading, comforting, relaxing magic blanket of Green. The tall leafy green trees and the lush
green coffee plantations are a cool, comforting and refreshing delight, for the eyes to behold, for
the jaded city dwellers on a leisurely, relaxing holiday. The sweet sounds of the bird calls and
the sounds of the lively insects are an exotic music to the ears used to the rumbling noises of
clogged city traffic. A walk through the dense trees and the thick coffee and spice plantations is
truly therapeutic and healing to the tired mind and bodies of the city dwellers and it would not be
an exaggeration to say that a one hour walk through the dense green trees and lush plantations
is truly soothing and serene to the sublime succor seeking soul. The thick, gushing, cascading,
fierce Abbey falls with pure milk white water rushing down the slope, with a ferocious roar is
sweet, healing to the ears and a cool and soothing visual to the tired eyes of the hectic and
exhausted city dwellers. If anything can compete with this wonderful sight and sound, it is the
breathtaking and the senses soothing visual of the panoramic vast green, sprawling virgin vista
of the Rajaseat viewing deck, with a never ending spread of greenery far and wide, covering the
entire range of the length and breadth of the human vision, and as far as the human eye can
behold. The view is so natural that the entire expanse of the green undulating hills and the vast
green landscape is untouched by any sign of civilization and human activity. The only difference
here at Rajaseat compared to the Abbey falls is that the sound of the roaring thunder of the
Abbey falls is replaced here by the deafening silence of the nothingness of the vast green
sprawling, undulating panoramic vista. Madekeri and Virajpet in Coorg (Kodagu to the locals)
was definitely worth the seven hour enjoyable drive ( including an one hour break for lunch on
the way), from Bengaluru to Virajpet. Also, it is highly recommendable to visit the ancient
Renganatha swamy temple at Srirangapattinam on the way, (About half way from Bengaluru to
Coorg) on the banks of the sacred river Cauvery, with its beautiful temple tower. Do visit the
beautiful banks and steps of river Cauvery too, adjoining the temple, just a couple of minutes
drive. A must see, just a five minutes drive away is the historic summer palace of the former
famous ruler Tipu Sultan, which has now been converted into a museum displaying historic
artifacts of the bygone era of the local ruler Tipu Sultan." - Bhooma venkatesh , , Aug 8,
