Bengaluru, India: Overview

Nicknamed Silicon Valley of India because of the abundance of the IT and IT-enabled companies in the city, Bengaluru is one of the most-visited and cosmopolitan cities in India.

The earliest records of a place named “Bengaluru” are found in a ninth-century temple in an area now known as “Old Bangalore”.

Legend has it that when the feudal lord Kempe Gowda was once hunting rabbits in the area, a rabbit appeared and attacked his dog. This made a great impression on Gowda and he named the place gandu bhoomi (the place of heroes). In 1537, with the assistance of the local king, he constructed three districts protected by a walled fort on the site.

Bangalore has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw) with distinct wet (May to October) and dry seasons (November to April). Due to its high elevation 920 meters or 3,020 ft, the city enjoys a more moderate climate throughout the year. Occasional heat waves can make summer somewhat uncomfortable.

Best Time to Visit Bengaluru

Bengaluru is well known for its moderate and comfortable weather that stays within the pleasant range almost all year round. However, most travelers recommend October to February (the winter months) to be the best for booking flight tickets to Bengaluru and exploring the magnificence of this city. Although the nights during these months do get chilly (15°C or 60°F), you can check out the amazing lakes and gardens of Bengaluru with perfect ease as the temperatures hover around 25°C or 77°F. If you do not like rain or are planning more of an outdoorsy trip to the city, avoid buying an air ticket to Bengaluru for monsoon season (May to September).
