Hi everyone,
I reside in Bengaluru from past 4 years due to my work . My native is located in Vellore. I love spending time in exploring Bengaluru. Bengaluru is also called as Silicon Valey of India as it is known for the numerous tech companies operate from the city. I came to Bengaluru to work in a Tech company and I am glad that I selected IT as my career.
Bengaluru is also known for its gardens and parks. You can find trees in most streets, gardens and so many parks and this is also the reason why I love Bengaluru. People visit it daily for exercising and to relax. Many parks have few gym equipments also for people to exercise and there is no fees.
Bengaluru has so many tourist spots for one to explore and make great memories. I was thinking of planning about things such as best Tourist spots, foods, etc to take my Connect friends when they come to Bengaluru. In this post, I will share with you on things I have planned for this.
Let’s first see about the Tourist spots in Bengaluru. I have visited few tourist spots which I totally like but there are lots of places in Bengaluru which I still not visited and hoping to visit after Covid pandemic. I have made the Google Map List of tourist places including the places I visited along with the places I know and planning to visit.
Best Tourist Spots in Bengaluru
This list has some great tourist spots in Bengaluru and I will share with the some details about few of those places.
Bangalore Palace is located in the inner city itself and the palace was built in the year 1878. I visited Bangalore Palace with one of my Local Guides friends recently when there was no lockdown and the experience was memorable.
Tipu Sultan Summer Palace is located in the inner city itself and was built in the year 1791. Tipu Sultan was the ruler of Kingdon of Mysore. Tipu Sultan Summer Palace is a two storey building but looks like single storey from outside. I visited this place many times when I was studying in training institute few years back. It was on my way to the class and whenever I was late, most times, I spent the first half in the Tipu Sultan Summer Palace and attend the class in the second half. Bangalore Fort is at a walkable distance from this place. I have visited this place with one of my Local Guides friends few years back and it was amazing. I have also conducted Local Guides Meetup in this place and it was wonderful. Click here to view the recap of the meetup.
During Local Guides Meetup at Lalbagh Botanical Garden
Lalbagh Botanical Garden is a great place to enjoy the nature. I have visited it many times and have conducted Local Guides Meetup also. Click here to view the recap of that meetup. Lalbagh Botanical Garden is also located in the inner city itself and it has so many Point of Interest such as Glass House, Horticulture, Lalbagh Lake, etc. inside the Lalbagh and it’s worth visiting. It has so many varieties of flora and fauna.
Visvesvaraya Technological Museum
Visvesvaraya Technological Museum is a science museum established in the year 1962. It is located in the inner city itself. It has varities of industry equipments, engines, working models, etc which will make people love science. There are different floors and sections for Space, Electricals, Electronics, etc. I have visited it many times and still there are many sections which I need to check and learn. I have also conducted a Meetup in this place and the visit was memorable. Click here to view the recap of that meetup.
Nandi Hills is one of the greatest nature spots near Bengaluru. The view from Nandi Hills is breathtaking. I have visited it with my friend once and we enjoyed a lot. I have written a post about Nandi Hills in this post. Best time to visit is early morning and I would love to take my Connect friends to this place.
Some of the other Tourist spots which is on the list and I am planning to visit are [Bannerghatta Biological Park](http://Bannerghatta Biological Park 080 2977 6466 https://maps.app.goo.gl/48TX8Ks5LGqxgrTD7), HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum, etc.
There is another list which I would like to highlight here is about the Museum and Art Gallery List. I have not visited any Art Gallery yet in Bengaluru and I am planning to visit it once lockdown is over.

The next thing is about the best places to have Vegetarian Dishes. I have selected some of my favorite vegetarian restaurants where I had vegetarian dishes and really liked it. I have already written a seperate post for two places among five of those places in the list. Check this post about Hotel Annapoorna and this post about Sri Kandha Vilas Dosa Camp. Make sure to check those posts to know my experiences on those places.

Now comes the best places to have Non Vegetarian Dishes in Bengaluru. The list includes the places where I had amazing non vegetarian dishes and pardon me as Briyani is the first dish comes to my mind when I visit Non Vegetarian Restaurants. So in most of the places in the list, I have tried few dishes and Briyani is what I mostly had and it is at top notch in those places.

Not preparing for the best Chai(Tea) Places in Bengaluru for me is like not preparing anything. I love having Chai and I try different varieties of Chai at different Chai places. I like Tandoori Chai at Arabian Tea Cafe which is in the list and I love the Chai at Puneri Chai which is also in the list.
Above is the photo of Chai at Tea Port which is in the list.
On additional note, for having Chat dishes, I have currently one place in mind which is Nandi Chats Bandhar and I have written a post about this place. You can check that post here. They serve varieties of Chats like Masala Puri, Pani Puri, Dahi Puri, etc and is hygiene and reasonable.
