Rediscovering the "Garden City"

Amid rapid urban expansion, Bengaluru’s lush canopies, ancient banyan trees, and restored urban lakes remain its crowning glory. Whether you want a sunrise run or need to top up your electric vehicle while walking your dog, here are the top green routes.

1. Cubbon Park & Lalbagh Botanical Garden

• Cubbon Park: 300 acres of tranquil bamboo groves in the heart of the city. Sundays are vehicle-free, making it paradise for dog owners and rollerbladers.
• Lalbagh: Home to the historic glass house modeled after London’s Crystal Palace and trees dating back over two centuries.

2. The Restored Lake Circuits

• Agara Lake (HSR Layout): 2.5km paved walking trail with outdoor fitness stations and sunset viewpoints.
• Sankey Tank (Malleshwaram): Peaceful waterside perimeter with boating and botanical gardens.

3. EV-Friendly Green Outings

Most major lake parks now feature Bescom and private fast-charging stations within 500 meters, allowing you to charge your EV while enjoying a 45-minute stroll.
