Beauty of Bangalore- Reasons to Love Bangalore
Bangalore! The name conjures up images of tranquil lakes, ancient trees, and lovely gardens, as well as cool showers on a hot summer afternoon! This 'Silicon Valley of India,' located 3000 feet above sea level, draws people not only for its beauty but also for the opportunities it provides.
Every city has its own distinct features and special places of interest, and Bangalore is no exception. When in Bangalore, make time to visit some of these unique attractions and cherish the memories. We bring you the best of what Bangalore has to offer.
We are all emotionally attached to the city where we grew up. Our hometown, whether it is a small village or a large metropolitan area, is always close to our hearts. Then there's a place that welcomes everyone: expats, migrants, people from other cities, and, of course, those who belong here.
You can't help but fall in love with the city, from a long walk in Cubbon Park to hundreds of cafes, from tree trails everywhere to the amazing weather. So, here is a list of things that we all adore about Bangalore:
1. If you leave Cubbon Park in an hour, you haven't seen everything there is to see.
If we're talking about The Garden City, it's impossible to overlook Cubbon Park, which spans 100 acres and is home to several plant and tree species. Lalbagh! Have you ever been to a flower show? It is home to India's largest tropical plant collection.
Bannerghatta National Park - This 25,000-acre park is one of Bangalore's most popular tourist destinations. You will always be near to nature no matter where you live!
2. The fantastic bus service - Yes, Majestic is not a mall, but it nevertheless attracts a lot of people::
Every day, BMTC buses transport 43 lakh passengers. On a hot summer day, the Volvo is all you need to get around, and Vayu Vajra will make sure you never miss a flight!
3. The greatest Dosa in the world at MTR/CTR/Vidyarthi Bhavan:
Well, you'll have to go and see for yourself!
4. A lot can happen over a cup of coffee or kaapi filter:
Without a doubt, Bangalore is the birthplace of Coffee Days. With at least one CCD on every street corner, you'll never have to seek for venues to hang out in Bangalore.
The wafting aroma of steaming hot filter kaapi, though, drives us insane. Nothing beats the value of the "by2" coffee, which gives you nearly two cups for the price of one! Hatti Kaapi charges Rs. 8 for a hot cup of South Indian coffee.
5. It is more than just a dance; it is a way of life:
Karnataka has long been a rich source of dance and music. Since their childhood, the majority of the girls have known at least one dance form.
Visit Nrityagram Dance Village for an unforgettable experience. This place, founded by Pratima Beedi, is a world unto itself. Odissi, Mohiniattam, Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathakali, and Manipuri are among the Indian classical dance genres taught at the residential school.
6. One of the few cities that has managed to keep theatre alive:
Yes, we are discussing Ranga Shankara. It advocates for theatre in all languages. So far, approximately 2,700 performances have taken place on the stage.
But that isn't the only place to see a live concert. There is also the Jagruti Theatre, Chowdiah Memorial Hall, Ravindra Kala Kshetra, and other attractions.
7. Yes. We take health extremely seriously:
Bangalore has a strong preference towards organic living. Bangalore knows its way around organic hangouts like The Yoga House and Carrots Healthy Kitchen, as well as organic shopping alternatives ranging from apparel to food and cosmetics.
8. The elaborately painted city walls:
This is likely to be the first thing you notice as you wander through Bangalore's streets. The stunning wall murals provide a brief glimpse into Bangalore's rich tradition and culture while also providing work for numerous artists.
9. A stroll down Brigade Road will demonstrate how welcoming the city is:
From a young group of students from northern India to a group of expats who have been working here for a few years. Bangalore offers a space for everyone, from west to north east Indians.
Bangalore is truly multicultural, with around 48% Kannadigas, 25% Tamilians, 14% Telugites, 10% Keralites, 8% Europeans, and 6% people of mixed race.
10. We cherish our public areas and take care to keep them in good condition:
The MG Road Boulevard, for example, is the road's lifeline. The boulevard will steal your heart with its play zones for children, snake and ladders game, and over 1,000 different types of saplings.
11. Going to Chickpet to buy silk sarees:
Most visitors to Bangalore include purchasing pure silk sarees on their list of things to do, and the reasons are simple. Some of the greatest and most authentic silks are produced in Bangalore. Some refer to it as the fashion capital of India or perhaps the East.
MG Road and Chickpet are two areas in Bangalore with a good selection of traditional silk sarees and contemporary clothing. Prices vary according on quality, and a keen eye/escort may be required to avoid being duped.
12. South Indian Food at Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (MTR):
If you believe in being a Roman when in Rome, you would head to a MTR outlet to join the lineups of Bangaloreans waiting patiently from 6 a.m. for their turn at this Udupi diner, which is about to celebrate its centennial.
Many aficionados of the purely vegetarian meal here recall the aroma, the pure ghee, and the strong filter coffee that accompanies the usual South Indian breakfast fare of Idli/sambar, Dosa, Vada, and Upma. MTR's initial location is just adjacent to Lal Bagh, however they have several branches around India and even outside of India.
13. Butterfly Park, a kid's favorite:
The Butterfly Park is a fantastic tourist attraction. The conservatory was built to allow approximately 20 different species of butterflies to thrive. A 10,000-square-foot enclosure, the atmosphere inside is much more humid than Bangalore is all year, and there's a lot of vegetation and animals you won't find anywhere else.
14. Bangalore Palace:
Designed to imitate the Windsor Palace, Bangalore Palace opened in 1878 after a four-year construction period. Today, the Palace Grounds host a number of high-profile concerts. Metallica and Iron Maiden, for example, both performed here.
15. Snow City:
Located on the Jayamahal Main Road, this snow-themed park allows visitors to experience -5 degree temperatures and play with snow generated from drinking water in the heart of the city. Snow basketball games, toboggan rides, a snow castle, and a snow dance floor are all available.
16. Ancient ruins right in your own backyard:
How many of you are aware that Bangalore's oldest temple is right in the heart of the city, close to your home? The Chokkanathaswamy temple in Domlur is regarded to be Bangalore's oldest temple. You don't have to travel far to appreciate the city's history.
There is also Tipu Sultan's summer residence, the old fort at Devanahalli, a couple of prehistoric monuments at Chikkajala, Hejjala, and Savandurga, the Bangalore Palace, and other attractions.
17. Women feel safer here than in most other Indian cities:
Unlike in other places, I can go out to eat with my girlfriends at any time without worry of getting raped. Bangalore is far more advanced in terms of women empowerment, with women choosing unorthodox jobs like as bus conductors and even drivers.
18. Technology and StartUp Hub::
Bangalore is a technology and startup powerhouse, as well as the origin of several IT giants such as Infosys, Wipro, and TCS. It is also home to many fresh and interesting startups such as Flipkart, InMobi, and Myntra. People are sitting about everywhere, passionately debating fresh ideas. Perhaps this is why there are so many cafes!
19. Bangalore Aero Show:
Every two years, Bangaloreans are treated to a visual extravaganza as a slew of combat and commercial aircrafts from around the world demonstrate their aerial skills. Don't miss the next one in 2015, which will be held at the Yelahanka Air Force Base!
20. We work hard and drink even harder:
Did you know Bangalore boasts the most pubs in Asia? Yes, they used to close at 11 p.m., but they're now open till 1 a.m.! So here's to the weekend!
21. And in the morning, we throng to the famed hole-in-the-wall eateries:
who hasn't eaten the softest idlis, delicious upma, and delectable kesari bath at Brahmin's café, Veena Stores, Janatha hotel, and so on? Or you may walk along Eat Street (VV Puram) for some of the best food of the season.
22. To state the obvious—weather, of course—
Don't get me started on it. When the rest of the country is trying to find out how to beat the heat, Bangaloreans are out enjoying a walk in the drizzle and the cool night air. And, yes, it is consistent throughout the year. Are you envious enough?
Hope you enjoyed the blog and got some interesting information. This weekend, leave your houses and enjoy the beauty of the city.
