Zwischen 2013 und 2018 habe diese südindische Stadt insgesamt sechmal besucht, um vor Ort SAP-interne UX-Methodentrainings durchzuführen. Während dieser Besuche hatte ich immer etwas Zeit um zu Fuß die Umgebung zu erkunden. Der erste Besuch in Bangalore aus Europa kommend bedeutet in jedem Fall einen Kulturschock...

One of many temples in Bangalore, open to tourists. Visited in September 2013.

Skandagiri Mountains Panorama
During my visit in April 2014, I did a one-day hike at Skandagiri mountains, about an hour north of Bangalore. Great views and no other people! The hike took about je about 2 hours to the top.
SriSatya Hospital
Just next to the Whitefield Marriott Hotel. Pretty nice building for a hospital.
Monkey
During my Skandagiri hike (April 2014) there were Monkeys all over the place.
