ABOUT YELAHANKA

 

Yelahanka is situated towards the north of Bangalore. This is also the region where the new International Airport is coming up, due to commence operations in 2008. So next year, when you alight from a plane bringing you to Bangalore from overseas, ours would be the first club that you reach in the RI District 3190. And we make a very good reception team! :)

 

Yelahanka was part of the Vijayanagara Empire of yore. It has the proud heritage of being the birthplace of Kempe Gowda I, who became the chieftain and feudatory of Yelahanka during the reign of King Krishna Deva Raya of Vijayanagara. Kempe Gowda went on to found the city of Bangalore.
