Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, is India’s third-largest city and a cosmopolitan destination that serves as a gateway to the steamy south of India. Holidays to Bangalore are blessed with a wonderful climate and an exceptional shopping and dining scene. In many ways, a holiday to Bengalaru is a voyage to India’s most Westernised urban centre.
Most holidaymakers that find themselves in Bengalaru, are probably on their way to somewhere like Kerala. But a short stop in is worth a second glance. This destination has lush parks and gardens, a remarkably diverse restaurant scene, a raj-era palace and several beautiful churches, temples and mosques. A real highlight of any holiday in Bangalore is the humble dosa - a savoury crepe that south Indians enjoy at breakfast and as an afternoon snack.
