Bengaluru was the erstwhile summer city of Tipu Sultan, who chose to build his summer palace amidst its dense fiery blossom trees and avenues. With the IT boom and burgeoning international status, the ‘garden city’ soon grew into the ‘silicon valley’ of India.
Bengaluru—India’s third-largest city with a population that exceeds 84 lakhs and with a combination of its many tourist places—has also been judged by recent surveys as one of the most live-able metropolitan cities in the country.
The metropolitan city boasts of some of the best eateries that serve the most diverse cuisines from across the world. Get the taste of the Kannadiga cuisine, Bengaluru local speciality, which serves proud variants of South Indian dishes—from crispy dosas and other rice-based dishes that are savoury or sweet to distinctive filter coffee.
Walk around in one of the numerous parks in the city—like Cubbon Park, JP Park or the Lalbaugh Botanical Gardens.But if history is your calling, draw your itinerary around Bengaluru Fort, Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace or the Mayo Hall—one of the finest designs of British architecture.
Checking out all the beautiful parts of a city isn't possible when your trip is a short one. At times, the only travelling you can do is between your hotel and the airport. Also, flight delays & rescheduling, lousy weather, and other factors might sometimes leave you stranded at the airport or inside your hotel near the airport. What is one to do in such situations?
When it comes to dining at The Leela, it is all about flavour, freshness of ingredients and exquisite ambience. The hotels are homes to some of the finest, award winning restaurants in the country.
The food of Bengaluru is as diverse as the people living there. Whether you wish to taste the street food or experience fine-dining in Bengaluru, the city does not disappoint. It has its share of gourmet food haunts and favourite street-food corners.
