Cheap Bangalore Vacation Packages
Adored as the ‘Startup Capital of India’ and ‘Silicon Valley of India’, Bangalore is the state capital of Karnataka (India). It is the national IT hub and the headquarters of most major Indian brands, including some famous startups, are located here. Bangalore is a cultural city and has a large number of old temples, churches, gardens, memorials and historical palaces to its credit. It would take you at least three days to completely absorb the city’s vibrant ambience but since the climate here is an exquisite delight all the year round, it would not be much of an issue.
