Long before Bangalore's transformation into a business-hub, technology centre and trendy megapolis, it was known as the "Garden City". Nowadays the gardens are on the verge of being overlooked in the concrete jungle and they are becoming very scarce. But there are still some nice examples! One of the best is the Lalbagh Botanical Garden which was laid out in 1760 and still is going strong. It is a nice way to escape the daily routine and to breathe deeply (although the smog is still present). The symbolic admission fee of 10 Rupees (0.20 CHF) is definitely worth it!
As you can see in the last picture, the Lalbagh Botanical Garden is very popular among locals. Anyway, I haven't seen many tourists in this town yet and it is quite normal that people are staring at me.
Really nice pictures and explanations! But with the frequence you are posting pictures and texts is has become difficult to stay up to date while spending some hours at the office every day :-)
