The city of Bangalore, in the true sense was never known even in the national scenario as an ideal tourist destination, not to speak of the international arena! However, with the rise of the swanky BPO industry the city has availed the topmost position in the recent years. The city even in the mid-80s was like any other developed city of India. But with the advent of the saga or the booming condition of Information Technology, better known through its abbreviated form of I.T. the city has changed abruptly, with hardly any remnant of its decrepit past! If you dare to have a walk in the streets of Bangalore, you will be amazed to find the sprawling buildings speaking eloquently of the prosperity of the city. However, it must be said that if you make a visit as a tourist, there is no such dearth of places to visit. So, it is better to go on a jaunt through the city with greenery following you everywhere and the spots giving you glimpse of the social mores, existing milieu, and history of this splendid city.
In your visit never forget to visit the Ulsoor Lake, which happens to be one of the most visited destination in Bangalore. What you can do there is to enjoy a boat ride, or indulge in swimming in the nearby pool. Apart from this there are also tiny islands that are found to be dotted with greens stand in the lake making it an ideal picnicking spot. Not only this there are also other tourist spots, that include Lal Bagh, Cubbon Park and many others.
