The Botanical Garden in Bangalore, known as Lalbagh Botanical Garden, is one of India’s most renowned horticultural landmarks. Spanning over 240 acres, it was initially commissioned by Hyder Ali in the 18th century and later expanded by his son, Tipu Sultan. This oasis showcases an extensive collection of tropical plants, including rare species from around the world. A major attraction is the iconic glasshouse, modeled after London’s Crystal Palace, which hosts annual flower shows that draw visitors from across the country. With its serene lakes, well-maintained pathways, and a 3,000-million-year-old Peninsular Gneiss rock formation, Lalbagh serves as both a botanical treasure and a tranquil retreat amidst the bustling city of Bangalore. And now, thanks to our dear friends, loborosh and luciakontsek a penguin stone resides here. Look for a tree.
