How to Reach Asia from Bangalore

By Air: Kempe Gowda International Airport (BLR) is Karnataka’s first fully solar powered airport. It is well connected with international destinations in Asia and other cities worldwide.  Some major cities with direct flights from Bangalore are Sharjah, Kuwait, Dubai, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Kathmandu, Muscat, Doha, Jeddah, Riyadh, Colombo, Bangkok, and many more. The airlines connecting to these destinations are Air India, Etihad, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific, Sri Lankan Airlines, Nepal Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Air Asia and several others.

By Rail: there are no direct trains connecting Bangalore to any other Asian country. India as a country does have a few railway links to other Asian countries. You can travel from Bangalore to the junction where these trains start either by flight or by train. For example, the Maitree Express bound for Dhaka starts from Kolkata.  

By Road: By road one can travel to several destinations from Bangalore. You can either drive your own vehicle which will then require certain documentations and permits or you can reach the transit point by flight or train then take a public transport from then on. For example, you can travel to Bhutan from Bangalore by first going to Bagdogra then from there you will need to drive to Phuentsholing which shares its border with Bhutan where the documentation process to Bhutan needs to be completed. The India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway is under construction that will connect Moreh in Manipur India with Mae Sot Thailand via Myanmar. You will need to travel from Bangalore to Guwahati then Imphal. This can be done either by train, flight or by road.
