Heritage Tours in Bangalore

Bangalore has had an arduous, long history but with the fast-paced development we see in this city, it is easy to forget what it once looked like.  As a city, it was founded by Kempe Gowda I who built a mud fort in 1537 and 4 watchtowers to demarcate the boundaries of the then small town. These towers are still preserved and can be seen deep within the heart of the city at Lal Bagh Botanical Garden, Kempambudhi Tank, Ulsoor Lake and Mekhri Circle. In the many lovely distractions and life this city has to offer, it is possible we forget the important structures among us that serve a larger purpose.  

Bengaluru has without a doubt grown to be India’s tech hub and heritage tours in Bangalore will include a glimpse into structures that made this possible. It is also the site of many wars, a seat of erstwhile British power and as many of our grandparents' will vouch- a once beautiful garden city famed for its lakes and parks. To look below the surface of this lively, cosmopolitan city so that your travel experiences are enriching and noteworthy, opt for heritage tours in Bangalore. Heritage tours in Bangalore allows you to not only encounter the city’s past but also chart this to the present. Heritage tours in Bangalore will include walking through the lovely streets outside the Vidhana Soudha, a quick visit to the public library, a stop at church street as a hub for all things shopping and some delicious food, a look at Bangalore Palace and so much more.
