Will soon be experiencing my first time in Bangalore--are there any areas where I can be able to have an interesting walk around? Or am I doomed to seeing the city from an autorickshaw?
Mostly doomed to the tour by vehicle. Walking down MG Road is possible in parts, but it's not a really pleasant experience either.
Out of the large cities in India and state capitals, only a few have been sort of (long or short) "walking tour" friendly when it comes to hitting most of the in-city tourist spots. Srinagar (in Kashmir) -- which I wouldn't suggest for walking around nowadays -- and Jaipur (in Rajasthan) come sort of to mind. That is to say, Bangalore is not a "walking tour" friendly city either.
