It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Inclusions

Bangalore is a cradle of the coffee culture in India. Locals and tourists both swear by it because no day is complete without a cuppa. But how did this African drink become a local favourite? What role did the British play for coffee in Bangalore? What led to the cafe culture in Bangalore? You'll find answers to all these questions on this tour. We will explore the history of the Cantonment, how it evolved to support the British establishment in erstwhile India, and how Bangalore went on to become a melting pot of cultures. As we do this, we will look at the evolution of coffee in the city from traditional coffee houses to new age micro-roasters catering to the needs of the ever changing city, and explore neighbourhoods that still hold stories of the British Raj. This tour is the perfect coffee date with the city and a must-do if you're in Bangalore or visiting.
