Green Heritage Walks
with Vijay Thiruvady


If you love nature, like walking among trees and flowers, and want to know more about our green heritage, this is the walk for you. If you know absolutely nothing about trees or nature, you will find this walk fun and eye-opening.

Vijay,
Many thanks for the Lalbagh walk. I can't remember when I have had such a delightful time re-exploring a venue I thought I knew intimately. In three hours
your 'walk' brings to life history, environment, botany, culture, landscape architecture, gardening and food---unpeeling an unknown Bangalore/Bengaluru.
I have been recommending it to all my friends.
More power to you and Arun.

Girish Karnad
