DESTINATION INFORMATION
BANGALORE

A hub for all that is new, the city acts like a nexus for technology and thriving young professionals. Also known for its buzzing pub culture, Bangalore is an interesting blend of the happening and the classic; Karnataka's capital rocks on, with something to suit everyone's tastes.
Don't Miss
Visit Lal Bagh Botanical Gardens, one of the biggest in the country, and be amazed at the rich variety of flora. It along with Cubbon Park, right in the centre of the city, give the city its name: The Garden City. Also go sightseeing, see the Vidhan Soudha (Legislative Assembly), the High Court, and Ashoka Pillar. If you have time on your hands visit the numerous nearby places of interest like Banerghatta Wildlife Santuary, Krisnarajasagar Dam, Mysore, and Nandi Hills. Don't forget to sample the amazing food found in Bangalore, pretty much everywhere, from age old institutions, to upstart fusion joints. The latest pub crawl is yours to explore, each with its own distinctive attitude. M.G Road is the centre of all entertainment, and a visit to Bangalore without many hours spent there, is incomplete.
COORG
________________________________________
Greener than green, this verdant region is redolent with the aromas of coffee and cardamom. Relatively undiscovered, and one of the most beautiful areas of Southern India, there is nothing much to do in Coorg, but to relax in the untouched surroundings.
Don't Miss
Set in the heart of the exotic coffee-growing country, this little hill township is considered as the capital of the Coorg region. The town, which is set on a series of ridges that command breathtaking views, was an unassuming state in its own right till a few decades ago. The Friday Market at Madikeri has a surplus of articles made by the local tribal people. Shopping here could be a worthwhile experience
MYSORE

What Mysore instantly evokes is the smell of sandalwood and jasmine, encountered in its vibrant bazaars that are thriving. Mysore also preserves old houses and a stroll through this quarter remains mellow and nostalgic.
Don't Miss
The Mysore Palace is the venue for the famous Mysore Dasara festival, during which the entire palace is lit up with thousands of bulbs, and leading artistes perform on a stage set up in the palace grounds.
