Highlights
Lalbagh Botanical Gardens present an oasis of fresh air in the midst of chaotic traffic of Bangalore. It is a 240-acre garden which serves as a major lung space, promptly contributing to the pseudonym that Bangalore has earned - The Garden City of India.
Lalbagh hosts more than 2100 species of tropical & sub-tropical plants. Other highlights of Lalbagh are - A 3 billion year old rock; A 16-century Watch Tower built by Kempegowda II; A 300-year old White Silk Cotton tree; A 20-million year fossil; A 270-year old Mango tree planted by Hyder Ali in 1760; A 19th century iconic Glass House built by the British; A 150-year old tallest tree of the Garden (of Bangalore too!); A 19 CE British Musical Band stand; and so on.
Apart from these, there is a beautiful lake, a lotus pond, a topiary, coffee plants, amazing wood sculptures, flowering trees, etc. The tour ends with a sumptuous breakfast at Mavalli Tiffin Room (except on Monday), a renowned eatery of Bangalore.
Come let's go for a Walk!

From here we move towards Glass house passing by a Topiary, Frangipanis, a 20-million year old fossil of a tree, band stand, etc before arriving at the Glass House. This structure was built during the closing years of the 19th century by the British on a style similar to the Crystal Palace in London. Every year, two extraordinary Flower Shows are organized here coinciding with the Indian Independence Day and the Republic Day.Kempegowda Tower

Around the same area we see a number of Wooden Sculptures made by local artists from trees which had fallen in the Garden in the last 10 years. The Kempegowda tower on top of the Stone Hill was built by the grandson of Kempegowda I who founded Bangalore in the 16th Century. The Stone hill itself is of great geological importance and is estimated to be 3000 million years old. Its a type of granite and is called the Peninsular Gneiss.Lalbagh Main Gate

After a sumptuous breakfast, the guide would say goodbye to the visitors.
