Bengaluru Trails

Unravel Bengaluru's layers of history

In the bustle of Bengaluru, with its industrial and urban overtones, one might almost miss the rich history of the city. Tipu’s Palace in Bengaluru is an elegant structure of teak pillars and decorative frescoes – once the residence of Tipu Sultan, a scholar, a poet and a ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore known for administrative innovations from coinages to calendars, and for a silk-industry growth and as a pioneer of rocket artillery. Then visit the Lalbagh Botanical gardens, commissioned by Hyder Ali, Tipu’s father and completed during Tipu’s reign. The gardens house the largest collection of tropical plants and a pretty lake, and in a city known as one of the greenest urban hubs of the country, peppered with waterbodies, this makes for a great stopover!
