Akshay Nagar is a neighbourhood in Begur ward in Southeast Bangalore.[1][2] It is surrounded by Hulimavu to the west and Begur to the east. The area has undergone rapid residential and commercial development since the early 2010s, including several high-rise apartment complexes.[3] The locality is in close proximity to the Bannerghatta National Park, thus leading to occasional sightings of wild animals from the forest reserve.[4] The area has a lake spread over 5 acres.[5] It also features a wide mix of modern architecture and buildings.
Accessibility
[edit]Akshay Nagar is connected to several parts of the city by BMTC bus service, as well as to the airport by Vayu Vajra.[6] 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.[7] Landmarks around the neighbourhood include the Indian Institute of Management- Bangalore and Meenakshi Temple.
