About the trip
Bangalore, or Bengaluru, is Karnataka's capital and India's technology city, and many pilgrims returning from Tirumala are heading home here or catching a flight. Those who stay a day find gardens, palaces and busy food streets. The drive goes through Chittoor, Palamaner and Kolar on a four-lane highway across the dry Deccan plateau, with a steady climb towards the city.
