🌍 About bangalore

Bengaluru sits at 900 metres on the Deccan Plateau — the highest of India's big cities, which is why it stays mild while the rest of the country bakes. That altitude is the whole point: it's a place to walk around comfortably, through Lalbagh's botanical garden or the old Basavanagudi streets, not a monument-checklist city. Eat rava idli, the semolina idli invented down the road at MTR (Mavalli Tiffin Rooms) during a WWII rice shortage and now served across India — have it where it was born, with coconut chutney and ghee. The city also runs on its own craft-beer and pub scene, unusual for India. Come October to February, when it's dry and pleasant in the low 20s°C. March to May is warmer but still gentle by Indian standards; June to September brings monsoon rain.
