Bengaluru Insider Tip

Bengaluru has India's most vibrant craft beer scene — the city has over 30 microbreweries. The MG Road and Brigade Road area is the nightlife core, but the quieter Indiranagar and Koramangala neighbourhoods have the best restaurants and bars. Lalbagh Botanical Garden (240 acres) hosts a spectacular flower show twice a year (Republic Day and Independence Day) in its Victorian glass house — outside show season, it's the city's most peaceful escape from the traffic.

Ahmedabad Insider Tip

Ahmedabad is almost entirely vegetarian — don't expect beef or pork. The old city's Pols (historic residential clusters) are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and best explored on foot.

🇮🇳 Bengaluru Fun Fact

Bengaluru hosts over 40% of India's IT exports, making it responsible for a significant share of the global technology services market. The city is also home to ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) — which put a spacecraft in Mars orbit (Mangalyaan) on its first attempt in 2014 at a cost lower than the production budget of the Hollywood film Gravity. Bengaluru has more pubs per capita than any other Indian city.

🇮🇳 Ahmedabad Fun Fact

Ahmedabad was India's first UNESCO World Heritage City (2017). Mahatma Gandhi launched the Dandi Salt March from Sabarmati Ashram here in 1930 — you can visit the ashram today.
