As a resident of Pune, my second home and heart lies in Delhi and Bengaluru.

I lived in these cities for 5 years each.
Yet a lot remains to explore.

So I often visit here for local guides meetups :hugs:

The upcoming meetup in Bengaluru is my third major meetup in the past 12 months.

I have booked the train tickets for this journey with great help from enthusiastic and super-helpful local guide @Rahul001 :handshake:

The meetup location is Chikkalalbag Park.

There are plenty of other top attractions in Bengaluru, which I will explore in the following days.

Here is an AI-generated bucket list of places in Bengaluru, some of which I have already explored while living here for 5 years.

:one: The top attraction is the Vishweshraiya Museum of Science and Technology.

I visited here also during the meetup last year.

The top attraction for me here was the mechanical weighing scale that has become rare in India.

:two: The top location in Bengaluru for group photos or selfies is outside the state assembly building called the Vidhan Soudha.

The view is majestic from across the road and gives a great panoramic background for a memorable and iconic photo from my Bengaluru visit. Parking is not allowed on this bus road.

There are plenty of auto rickshaws plying around so reaching here is not a problem. One can also reach here by walking from the Vishweshraiya Museum or by Metro.

Here’s another memory from the South India meetup last year.

:three: The next popular place in Bengaluru is the Lalbaugh Botanical Garden.

Parks like these and the various avenues give Bengaluru the nickname ‘Garden City of India’.

Thank you, dear @PritishB

That is why Bengaluru and to a large extent, Pune, are called ‘Garden Cities’ :deciduous_tree: :four_leaf_clover:

I worked in a office adjacent to Halasuru Metro Station near the Trinity Church on MG Road but never had a chance to visit the Halasuru lake @TravellerG - let’s try to visit there if time permits :+1:
