Itinerario
Nos dirigiremos a Lalbagh, el magnífico jardín botánico. Pasaremos la siguiente hora caminando por el Jardín Botánico Lalbagh de 240 acres con más de 1,800 especies de plantas, arbustos y árboles. Construido por el legendario Hyder Ali en 1760, el Jardín Botánico de Lalbagh es un hito prominente de Bangalore y es sede del famoso espectáculo de flores, por lo que es un destino clave entre los lugares para visitar en Bangalore. El Jardín Botánico de Lalbagh no es solo un paraíso para los horticultores, sino que también brinda un respiro a la gente de Bangalore desde la selva de hormigón en constante expansión.
El templo Bull de Bangalore está dedicado a Nandi Bull, el vehículo de Lord Shiva. Situado en Basavanagudi, este templo ha sido construido con el estilo arquitectónico dravidiano. Kempe Gowda, el fundador de Bangalore, construyó el templo Bull durante su tiempo. Este templo cuenta entre los templos más antiguos de la ciudad y atrae a devotos de todo el país. Hay un gran ídolo de Nandi Bull dentro del templo, que mide 4,5 m de altura y 6,5 m de longitud. Se dice que este ídolo fue tallado en una sola roca. El toro también tiene una pequeña placa de hierro en la cabeza. Según la tradición, este plato evita que el toro crezca.
También visitaremos el templo Dodda Ganapathy durante esta caminata en Bangalore. Es un enorme monolito de Lord Ganesha de 18 pies de alto y 16 pies de ancho. ¡La leyenda dice que la estatua ha crecido hasta su tamaño actual por sí sola!
Caminamos hacia el legendario templo Gavi Gandheswar que está construido en una cueva natural. ¡Este templo es testigo de un fenómeno único en el día del festival de Sankarati (festival de la cosecha) cuando durante la noche la luz del sol pasa a través de un arco entre los cuernos, la estatua del toro sagrado e ilumina al ídolo!
Pasaremos por unos encantadores bazares de Bangalore en el último tramo del paseo de Bangalore. Las vistas, los sonidos y el olor de estos bazares son únicos y una experiencia imprescindible.

Very nice tour! And nice guide
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Chandrasekhar was a wonderful guide. He went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the tour. To begin with, as we arrived by metro, that put us on the wrong side of Lalbagh Park from where we were supposed to meet. He brought his car around to pick us up. That was so appreciated! “Shekar” was a fountain of information, and yet still fun and enjoyable to listen to. I, an American English speaker and my three guests, French English speakers, had very little difficulty understanding his excellent English. He was so patient, though, the times we needed to ask him to repeat something. All of the stops were interesting and the way he described things helped us to understand how all the pieces of information and places we saw fit together to better know Banglore. After the end of our tour Shekar recommended a place to eat. From what he was describing I realized it was a Thali-style meal on a banana leaf. Though I have experienced this a couple of times in the past, I did not feel confident enough in my knowledge to adequately explain it to my French guests. I asked if it would be possible for him to accompany us and lend his knowledge. He said he could do that and I was very glad he joined us. I appreciate the Five Senses Travel Company who operate this tour because the cost covers all the entry tickets, and other expenses. (As lunch was not part of the tour, that was our expense). Altogether a wonderful experience.
Thanks for taking time out for this review. I am delighted you had a great time in this Sacred Bull Walk and enjoyed Chandrashekar's company! It was our pleasure.
The tour was very interesting The garden was beautiful The guide is passionate, he knows many things. Moreover, he has an English understandable by all. The meals he advised us were excellent. Very good activity. I recommend this tour.
I enrolled in the Sacred Bull Walk and it was quite an adventure. We came to bangalore on work and had a Sunday afternoon free. This 3 hour walk is a lovely way to understand and appreciate the local culture of bangalore. We visited a lovely garden where many poeple were exercising and doing yoga.i loved the 2 temples we visited where one had a Bull as the deity and the other was built in such a way that sun rays enter right inside a cave and magically light up the inside. Satish was a great guide who also arranged for us to grab a bite in a local joint. Amazing experience
Kalpana was such a fun interesting guide. She's a Bangalore native, keen to show the hidden real city (like the cave temple) and to explain the customs and quirks of this varied city. My quirky questions were answered with insight and often laughter. While advertised as a 3 hour trip at 4 hours 30 mins in she was just asking what I wanted to see next. A driver and air conditioned car whisked us between venues. I had so much more fun and was profoundly moved by the tour. I could not recommend her more highly
