For a city that is over a thousand years old, Bangalore is one of the most modern urban areas in India. Thanks to its booming IT industry, the city is affectionately referred to as the “Indian Silicon Valley’ by many business experts. The capital of Karnataka, Bangalore is situated on the Deccan Plateau and is one of the fastest growing urban areas in the country.

During colonial era, Bangalore served as the southern capital for the British and attracted large numbers of migrants from other regions in India. In recent years the IT boom has led to further migrations as well as an influx of youthful energy and enthusiasm that puts the city on the cutting edge of Indian business and popular culture. In addition to being India’s top IT employer, Bangalore is home to telecommunications, aerospace, and software companies.

While it isn’t as well known to tourists as other Indian cities, Bangalore has a lot to offer, beginning with its incredible climate. The city remains warm and sunny throughout the year, avoiding the unbearable heat that plagues most of India in the summer. Its multicultural population has led to a variety in music, food, design, and traditions that are attractive to the international traveler. There are luxurious five star hotels in Bangalore as well as a variety of other accomodations.

One of the best things about Bangalore is its gardens and parks. Known as the “Garden City of India” it has more greenery than any other part of India. Parks, lakes, gardens, and animal sanctuaries seem to be everywhere. And if there isn’t enough in the city, the Bangalore Rural District offers scenic countryside away from the noise of the city.
