We will spend the next one hour walking through the 240 acre Lalbagh Botanical Garden with more than 1,800 species of plants, shrubs and trees. Built by the legendary Hyder Ali in 1760, Lalbagh Botanical Garden is a prominent landmark of Bangalore and is host to the world famous flower show making it a key destination among places to visit in Bangalore. Lalbagh Botanical Garden is not only a horticulturist’s paradise, but it also provides a respite to people of Bangalore from the ever-spreading concrete jungle.

    45 minutes

  • Bull Temple

    The Bull temple of Bangalore is dedicated to Nandi Bull, the vehicle of Lord Shiva. Situated in Basavanagudi, this temple has been built in the Dravidian style of architecture. Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bangalore, got the Bull temple built during his time. This temple counts amongst the oldest temples of the city and draws devotees from all over the country. There is huge idol of Nandi Bull inside the temple, measuring 4.5 m in height and 6.5 m in length. This idol is said to have been carved out of a single rock. The bull also has a small iron plate on its head. As per the tradition, this plate prevents the bull from growing!

    45 minutes

  • Shree Dodda Ganapathi Temple

    We will also visit Dodda Ganapathy temple during this Bangalore walk. It is a huge monolith of Lord Ganesha 18 feet high and 16 feet wide. Legend says the statue has grown to its present size on its own!

    15 minutes

  • Gavi Gangadhareshwara Temple

    We walk to the legendary Gavi Gandheswar temple which is built in a natural cave. This temple witnesses a unique phenomenon on the festival day of Sankarati (harvest festival) when during the evening sunlight passes through an arc between the horns sacred bull statue and illuminates the idol!

    30 minutes

  • Gandhi Bazaar

    We will walk past a few charming bazaars of Bangalore in the last leg of the Bangalore walk. The sights, sounds and smell of these Bazaars are unique and a must experience.

Fantastic Tour with Vignesh

Published on Jan, 2025

Vignesh was an amazing tour guide! We started at the Lalbagh Botanical Gardens where he was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna there. We then went to multiple temples and learned a lot about the Hindu gods. Vignesh also took us to a local coffee shop and truly went above and beyond in accompanying us to different stores following the official tour. He is a Bangalore local and provided us with a lot of great recommendations.

Great tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was the best part of my trip so far. The tour guide was very informative and helpful throughout the entire tour. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Amazing tour and guide

Published on May, 2024

I had a wonderful experience on this tour which was lead by the amazing Diwarka. He had great knowledge and was able to answer all the questions I had. The temples were fascinating with so much history, I could never have done this on my own. Would highly recommend this tour, was nice to be able to walk and explore the peaceful botanical gardens with so much to see and learn.

Great guides, fun morning tour

Published on Aug, 2023

My guide Diwakar was super informative of the history of the areas we toured. He bent over backwards to make sure I got an experience I wouldn’t forget! I felt safe and really enjoyed my tour. I highly recommend!

Sacred bull heritage walk

Published on Mar, 2020

Satish picked us from the hotel in a clean and comfortable air conditioned car. We visited some incredible places including a 3 billion year old rock in a 240 acre garden. We also visited a temple built with astronomical markers. The cave temple has a shiva lingam which gets illuminated by sunlight on certain days of the year. Satish was a magnificent host and guide and took us to a local eatery for the best sambar and dosa i have ever had! This heritage walk is fun and entertaining and ranks up right at the top of the best walks i have done anywhere in the world.
