Where to stay in Whitefield
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Whitefield suits travellers who want a base on the eastern edge of Bengaluru rather than the centre. Rooms here sit well east of the older core, closer to Kadugodi than to the heart of the city. The setting is outer-city.
If you would rather sleep among Bengaluru's eastern districts, with Karnataka's wider region spreading beyond, Whitefield keeps you a full remove from the crowded middle of India's southern metropolis.
