The Bangalore Experience

The capital of Karnataka, India is the beautiful city of Bangalore (officially Bengaluru). The city is part of the rapidly expanding software and IT industry in India. Some refer to it as India’s own “Silicon Valley.” Other nicknames for Bangalore include the “Garden City of India” and the “Pub Capital of India.” All of this makes Bangalore an interesting place to visit.

Parks, gardens, and other green space are a prime attraction in this increasingly modern city. There are also a number of lakes and animal sanctuaries. Outside the city the Bangalore Rural District provides even more natural beauty, including a few waterfalls.

Bangalore itself is proud of its modern conveniences. Steel office towers, western-style shopping malls, and modern entertainment venues seem to be everywhere. There are also a number of five star hotels in Bangalore that offer all the technological amenenties of modern life.

In addition to the tech present and future, Bangalore is proud of its rich cultural heritage. It has long been a center of arts and culture for Karnataka and the surrounding areas. Classical Indian music, dance, and theater are preserved and celebrated here. The city holds several cultural and arts festivals throughout the year as part of this tradition.

There are plenty of historic sites and architectural wonders to explore in Bangalore. In addition to these, visitors will find plenty of opportunities to simply enjoy themselves. The food in Bangalore is amazing, with local dishes readily available as well as an increasing number of international restaurants catering to the young IT professionals that are flocking to the city. Likewise many of the bars and pubs in the city offer live music and Bangalore is one of the premiere locations in India for rock concerts.
