Bengaluru is the capital of Karnataka and India's technology hub, a high-altitude city of gardens, lakes, palaces, and a famously inventive food and craft-beer scene. Colonial-era cantonment avenues, Tipu Sultan's fort, and the Lalbagh Botanical Garden sit alongside glass-walled tech parks and the cafes of Indiranagar and Koramangala.
Accommodation overview
Bengaluru offers about 39 listed properties, from INR 700 dorm beds in Indiranagar and Koramangala hostels to INR 80,000 suites at luxury hotels on Race Course Road and MG Road. Mid-range business hotels of INR 3,500-8,000 per night dominate the Outer Ring Road and Whitefield, while the central belt near Cubbon Park suits first-time visitors. Traffic is heavy, so choose the base by the day's plans, and book ahead for the November to February high season and for weekends when conferences fill the business districts.
