First impressions of Bangalore, India 🇮🇳

I walked around Bangalore on my first day in India. Bangalore (Bengaluru) is the "Silicon Valley" of India, known for it's startups and great weather.

Dear Andy, just FYI the official language is Kannada. Please dont say out loud that Tamil is the language used there as some people might get really pissed off. Other than that, please enjoy some local delicacies such as South Indian Andhra meals, Hydrrabadi Biryani in Nagarjuna/ Meghana's etc

[@aroundtheglobeandy]

Thanks for the warning. I have learned my lesson now with that haha!

[@nishantnayak3792]

Kannada is the language spoken in Bangalore, Don't say aloud that people here speak tamil people get really angry about language here.

Kannadigas are very sensitive for some reason. Very insecure about their language. You won't see such reactions in Tamil Nadu if you speak kannada there

You should visit following places in Karnataka: Bangalore, Mysore, Coorg, Sakleshpura and Chikkamagalur. The weather is awesome throughout the year and you will see green hills, waterfalls, coffee plantations and cool Hindu temples.

2:34 Kannada is the language spoken in Bengaluru not tamil Bengaluru is Capital of Karnataka.. Kannada is the official language Karnataka . Bengaluru have more Kannadigas. Other state people come here for job and education once thiy earn money they will go their native places.. So that's why there is more floating population in Bengaluru.. But percentage of Kannadigas remains same ..

Thank you! All those places are on my list. Hope to go one dat

[@user-yt4ji7wq4x]

really glad that u visited a quieter city like Bengaluru,instead of something chaotic such as Mumbai,delhi etc. Bengaluru is very green, lot of friendly locals ,try booking a uber instead of going around asking prices, bcs these people think ,all white people are rich ,which is obviously not true, most travellers want to have an affordable experience,as far as possible in ur journey cover southern ,western and north eastern part of India,ur opinion about India will change.At the end of ur journey u can visit the textbook India which is talked about in the west ,which is northern India,visit Mumbai and Delhi at the end, otherwise u will hate ur experience.These r some tips coming from someone who keeps visiting India for work in different cities , and this is what I have observed

[@user-go4tb5jy8b]

[@user-yt4ji7wq4x]

@@Mann-je6my I agree scammers r there in every city ,but it is not as evident like Delhi or mumbai,instead of these travellers experiencing that ,let them travel to a more peaceful place having a lot of natural beauty like north east.not saying they shud avoid Delhi and Mumbai,cause Delhi and Mumbai have some of the most historic monuments, just saying these travellers shud do more research not visit the general "touristy " places

[@Mann-je6my]

@@user-yt4ji7wq4x Yes I agree with that. Now the people think that foreigners are now just coming on daily basis so let's scam them. But bro what can we do. The popular places have the best and easy travel areas for the foreigners, they can't travel to less known places alone. I think they should plan about it. And always travel to these places with a well known tour guide or friend with them

[@saanjthimmaya]

Nothing wrong with the street food if eaten at the right spots . You can try Thindi beedi ( food street ) at VV Puram … For good biryani you can eat at Nagarjuna… or Meghana Biryani , they are available in most localities.

[@chifuyu-fq3kn]

Hey Andy! i would recommend you to use the BMTC busses and the metro instead of auto/cabs as they are quite expensive ( specially for foreigners ) , bengaluru has the 2nd biggest metro system in the country and one of the best bus system in the country , therefore there are cheap , fast and easy to use over autos which charge you double rates.

The rickshaw guys get commission to take a tourist there, that's why it costs ₹30. It's best to use the ola and uber together to compare the price and use the one that costs less

[@shivanshwadhwani4417]

@@aroundtheglobeandy yeah probably best to just say i'm exploring not sure what i want, instead of saying not really buying.
