On hearing the name of Bangalore, greenery, cool breeze and the smell of coffee always come to mind. But when I reached here myself, I felt that this city is not just a garden or an IT hub, but is much more beautiful than that. The weather, people and the enjoyment of food and drinks here, all seemed very memorable to me.


Weather – the biggest feature here

The weather in Bangalore is really amazing. Neither too hot nor too cold. When I went to Lalbagh Garden in the morning , the light cool breeze and the fragrance of the trees set the whole mood.

👉 The best time to visit is from October to March .


Garden – the real reason behind the name

Bangalore is not called the Garden City for nothing.
