Bro, bro, bro.
Bangalore has TOO many good things to do:
- Rock climbing
- Sensory deprivation tanks
- Hiking
- Nature camping
- Waterfalls
- Beautiful spiritual retreats
- Calming temples
- Gigs by talented Indie artists
Sadly, most Bangaloreans never bother exploring any of these - it's a factor of the culture that we're blinded to our own city's riches.
Sure, the pollution and air quality is bad in the posh busy areas - but in areas like Kanakapura road and the other outer reaches of the city, the air quality is top notch - much much better than most other Indian cities.
Summers are hot pretty much anywhere - Mumbai, Delhi, Goa, Jaipur, most other cities are even hotter.
Well, roads are terrible and the traffic is insane. I agree. Quite possibly the only downside of Bangalore
