Kasturi Nagar is a well planned, upscale residential layout in East Bengaluru, tucked between Banaswadi, Tin Factory, and KR Puram along the Outer Ring Road. It is known as a calm, tree lined neighbourhood of independent homes and gated apartments, popular with professionals who want a quieter base with quick access to the eastern tech corridor. East Point College sits here, and the ring road edge links it fast to KR Puram and the ORR offices. This page lays out what sits inside Kasturi Nagar, which routes pass through it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.
The layout is residential first, organised in quiet internal streets with the college and the commercial pockets near the ring road edge. Buses on the ORR and the Banaswadi side are the ones that move the crowd, which is what makes them the high-visibility routes.
