Love Travel Guides are a complete departure from the traditional mass-market books. Love Travel guides present a curated selection of Indian experiences that have been chosen to help the traveller fall in love with India. These discerning guides celebrate the unique style and beauty of India. Love Bengaluru is the updated 2nd edition of Love Bangalore. Love Bengaluru details the most authentic experiences in Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) and the surrounding region including Mysore and Hampi. The guide is designed for the discerning traveller who wants authenticity in style. The 132-page book, handmade in India, comprises seven sections including an overview of the city with "must knows and must dos" and presents the best places to eat, drink, shop, and visit. It is based on the "love stories" shared by locals; including chefs, artists, designers, architects, flower sellers and auto drivers. Love Bengaluru is printed on handmade paper and crafted with care by local designers and crafts people. The hand-woven khadi covers were developed in partnership with Sonam Dubal the Delhi based fashion designer. Fiona Caulfield, founder of Love Travel Guides, believes that falling in love with a city is just as exciting as falling in love with a person. Your senses become more engaged and you simply feel more alive, she says. The simplest criteria for inclusion in the guide was "does this place help you fall in love with this city?" If yes, then it was in; if no then it was out. Simple.

However, most visitors travel to Bengaluru with fear and trepidation about the experience, aware of the infrastructure woes of the city, and find few resources to encourage them to explore, discover and get to know the real Bengaluru;
