Bangalore or Bengaluru, in the top five of India’s largest cities, has a reputation as an IT hub. India’s own version of the Silicon Valley, you might well be under the impression that’s all there is to the city. However, Bangalore is a melting pot of old and new, with distinct British influences in certain parts of the city. It also boasts the distinction of some of the nicest weather in the country – a welcome break from the heat that most of the bigger cities of India have to deal with! The city is home to a vibrant art and theatre scene, and is definitely a foodie’s paradise! Nicknamed the Garden City for its many beautifully laid out gardens and greenery, a trip to Bangalore, while off the regular tourist map, is definitely not going to be boring! You can also use the city as your base to visit some historical towns in the other southern states, on day and overnight trips. Our Bangalore day trips attempt to capture the essence of a contemporary city with deep historic roots. We’re also happy to customise the trip according to your personal interest, comforts & requirements. Drop us a line at welcome@theblueyonder.com.
