Bookmark & shareStep into one of India's most progressive cities - just be sure to look both ways.
Bustling Bangalore (official name: Bengaluru) is where to get your kicks in Southern Karnataka. Elegant lounges, upmarket bars and fast food will lure you to the Mahatma Gandhi Rd area where you can refuel no matter what your budget. Good transport connections, pleasant parks and grand temples make the city an ideal pit stop.
