Bengaluru (Bangalore) , Karnataka

Known as the ‘City of Gardens’, Bengaluru is one of the most attractive and vibrant cities in India. With many beautiful parks, impressive buildings, the lifestyle of Bengaluru too is racy as Bengaluru has one of the fastest growing economies in the country. Constructed by Kempe Gowda in the year of 1537, Bengaluru has travelled quite a lot to reach the current state of facilities, from just being a place having mud fort and four towers. Perfectly blending the cosmopolitan atmosphere along with that of some aristocratic structures, Bengaluru offers you some magnificent moments.

While enlisting the forts in Bengaluru, we have ‘Fort & Tipu Sultan's Palace’ in our front. This historic fort was originally built in mud by Kempe Gowda, but which was rebuilt in stone later by Haider Ali. The same was yet again improved by his son Tipu Sultan. This ornate structure in wood has a museum on the ground floor. This fort is open to all; however the case with Bengaluru Palace is a bit different as the entry here is restricted a bit. As we mentioned earlier, Bengaluru has some rich traditional structures resting over there. When you look at the temples in the city, you can have a bull temple out there. This Dravidian style temple, which is on the Bull temple road, enshrines a huge bull in a single grey granite stone. The temples such as Gavi Gangadhareswara Temple, Someshwara Temple, ISKCON, and St Maryrsquo Basilica too offer some splendid moments to spend.
