Resplan
Vi kommer till Lalbagh den magnifika botaniska trädgården. Vi kommer att tillbringa den nästa timmen med att gå genom den 240 tunnland stora Lalbagh botaniska trädgården med mer än 1 800 arter av växter, buskar och träd. Lalbagh Botanical Garden byggdes av den legendariska Hyder Ali 1760 och är ett framträdande landmärke i Bangalore och är värd för den världsberömda blommeshowen, vilket gör det till en viktig destination bland platser att besöka i Bangalore. Lalbagh botaniska trädgård är inte bara ett trädgårdsodlingsparadis, utan den ger också ett respit till människor i Bangalore från den ständigt spridande betongjungeln.
Bull-templet i Bangalore är tillägnad Nandi Bull, fordonet till Lord Shiva. Detta tempel ligger i Basavanagudi och har byggts i den dravidianska arkitekturstilen. Kempe Gowda, grundaren av Bangalore, fick Bull-templet att byggas under sin tid. Detta tempel räknas bland de äldsta templen i staden och drar hängivna från hela landet. Det finns ett stort idol av Nandi Bull i templet, som mäter 4,5 m i höjd och 6,5 m i längd. Det sägs att detta idol har ristats ur en enda sten. Tjuren har också en liten järnplatta på huvudet. Enligt traditionen förhindrar denna platta tjuren från att växa!
Vi kommer också att besöka Dodda Ganapathy-templet under denna Bangalore-promenad. Det är en enorm monolit av Lord Ganesha 18 meter hög och 16 fot bred. Legenden säger att statyn har vuxit till sin nuvarande storlek på egen hand!
Vi går till det legendariska Gavi Gandheswar-templet som är byggt i en naturlig grotta. Detta tempel bevittnar ett unikt fenomen på festivaldagen i Sankarati (skördefestivalen) när solljuset på kvällen passerar genom en båge mellan hornens heliga tjurstaty och lyser idolen!
Vi kommer att gå förbi några charmiga basarer från Bangalore i den sista delen av Bangalore-promenaden. Sevärdheterna, ljuden och lukten av dessa Bazaars är unika och en måste upplevelse.

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
