Bangalore Neighbourhoods, Locations and Bangalore Districts
(Bangalore, Karnataka, India, IN)



In the mid-1980s, the city of Bangalore was split into two main districts, known as the 'Urban' and 'Rural' districts. Each of these areas of Bangalore can be further divided into smaller towns, villages, 'taluks' (administrative units) and neighbourhoods.

The Bangalore district as a whole is surrounded by many nearby appealing locations, such as Anekal, Chamarajanagar, Kolar, Mandya and also Tumkur. Within the city itself, many of the main attractions lie off MG Road, a particularly notable thoroughfare. Bangalore's main districts and smaller neighbourhoods are described below.
