Bengaluru
Located 900 meters above sea level, Bangalore has a temperate climate. The climate is even quite similar to that of Dalat in Vietnam. Economically speaking, it is the most developed city in India. Considered India’s “silicone valley”.
The city is dotted with tree-lined parks, true havens of peace in this permanently congested city.
The heart of town remains traditional. A succession of neighborhoods mixing mosques, Hindu temples and churches. The outskirts include westernized neighborhoods with bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants and a younger population dressed in western style.

Not far from the market, daily life
