Akshay Nagar is a neighbourhood in Begur ward in South Bangalore.[2][3] It is surrounded by Hulimavu to the west and Begur to the east. The area has underwent rapid residential and commercial development since the early 2010s, including several high-rise apartment complexes.[4] The locality is in close proximity to the Bannerghatta National Park, thus leading to occasional sightings of wild animals from the forest reserve.[5] The area has a lake spread over 5 acres. [6]
Accessibility[edit | edit source]
Akshay Nagar is connected to several parts of the city by BMTC bus service, as well as to the airport by Vayu Vajra.[7] The under-construction Kalena Agrahara – Nagawara route of the Namma Metro is expected to improve connectivity to the neighbourhood with other parts of the city.[8] Landmarks around the neighbourhood include the Indian Institute of Management- Bangalore and Meenakshi Temple.
