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.

Green Heritage Walk
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.
This city has spectacular green heritage and the best way to discover it is on a Sunday morning walk with Vijay.
