| Located 949m above
sea level in South India on the Deccan Plateau, Bangalore
enjoys a salubrious climate throughout the year. The
city boasts of spacious gardens, parks, tree-lined
avenues, a profusion of flowering trees, lakes, and
parks, earning it the sobriquet of "Garden City."
The once-sedate cantonment settlement of the British
has now spread way beyond the mud fort and the four
towers constructed by Kempegowda in 1537. With its
booming economy and racy lifestyle, the capital of
Karnataka has metamorphosed from a sleepy Garden City
into one of India's fastest growing, accommodating,
technophiliac, and cosmopolitan cities. |

Bangalore is a city of contrasts, going by several
other aliases: India's Silicon Valley, Pub City, Shopper's
Paradise, Garden City, Air-conditioned City, Gourmet's
Delight, Pub Hopper's Paradise and Shopper's Hot Spot.
Bangalore has been extolled in a dozen ways. The
city not only plays host to several international
IT companies, public sector enterprises, defence organisations,
and reputed educational and research institutions,
but also lays claim to being the hub of India's emerging
biotech industry.Bangalore has lots to offer - a
rich cultural heritage, historic monuments, cultural
centres, traditional arts and crafts stores, exotic
cuisine, and friendly people. Amusement parks, country
clubs, resorts, golf courses, cyber cafes, pubs, discos,
bowling alleys, billiard halls, pool parlours, bustling
shopping malls, high-rise apartments, and sophisticated
hotels together form the new face of Bangalore. Infotainment,
entertainment, science and technology parks, and wildlife
safari parks all merge into a vibrant, richly textured
modern metropolis. Today from a pensioners paradise
it has transformed into one of the hottest destination
for young people chasing their dreams in IT, BPO,
Biotechnology or knowledge management.
Surrounded by weekend getaways,
Bangalore makes an ideal hub for visitors who want
to travel to the many hill stations and coastal
towns of South India.
