Bengaluru, also known as Bangalore, sits on a plateau about 900 metres above sea level, so it is cooler than most Indian cities. It is the centre of India's technology industry and has a young, busy feel.

Walk in Lalbagh and Cubbon Park, see the granite Vidhana Soudha and Tipu Sultan's summer palace, and eat dosa at a long established darshini. Mysore and its palace are an easy trip away.
