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.
