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.

What to see in Bangalore

On the road

Take NH 69 and NH 75 via Chittoor, Palamaner and Kolar; the Mogili ghat near Palamaner is short. Leave by early afternoon to avoid Bangalore's evening traffic.
