However, come December, bibliophiles taking flights to India’s garden city will be able to partake in one of country’s most eagerly awaited literary fest, Bangalore Literature Festival (BLF) 2012.

The very first edition of BLF, also called Nammadu literature festival, is set to take place at the South Indian city from December 7 to 9, 2012.

Though Bangalore’s tremendous nightlife and cosmopolitan appeal have long been the major draw for India bound tourists, this three-day literary extravaganza may become an unavoidable reason tempting thousands to look for cheap tickets on flights to the destination, year on year. 

Organizers are sure that the festival will become the annual flagship event in the city’s cultural and literary calendar. The event is expected to features around 50 national and international authors like Ruskin Bond, Tarquin Hall, Benjamin Law and Kirsty Murray among others.

Besides, visitors buying flights tickets to India during this fest may also participate in a series of knowledge packed workshops, interactive sessions and panel discussions on different genres and topics.

In addition, the event will also showcase several classical, folk and popular culture of South India’s popular province, Karnataka through cultural programmes every evening to entertain visitors taking flights tickets to the city.

All set to take the literary world by storm, BLF 2012 will unfold itself as a vital platform for authors and bibliophiles to interact with each other and will be well worth the money spent on those cheap tickets on India flights.

December is a high season and one of the best times to visit India. With only two months left, all those who haven’t booked their tickets to the country would do well to look for and grab those cheap deals on flight tickets and be ready to meet their favourite author!
