Bangalore:Places,Photos,Tourist Spots

Of all the places in Bangalore we have discussed so far,which is your favorite?There are many places in and around Bangalore,worth 100% a visit but some of them are worth skipping too.I take you to four favorites of mine in town - Lalbagh,Bannerghetta National Park,Pottery Town and Bangalore Palace.The three not-so-favorite places of mine are Ulsoor Lake,Cubbon Park and Tipu Sultan Palace. We'll cover some of the interesting places around Bangalore too very very soon.But let's begin with:

Lalbagh Botanical Garden

                              Imagine a tranquil escape like this in the middle of the town;
        The botanical garden is best for not only senior citizens,but also kids and the young generation 

                    Lalbagh Botanical Garden is also famous for Independence Day Flower Show

Disadvantage of Lalbagh Botanical Garden: Entrance least inviting,provision of cycles should be there,food joints necessary

Advantage of Lalbagh Botanical Garden: Ideal place for morning walks and jog and even cycling if you got one.It's a huge compound with a small lake,a hillock,a glasshouse and lot of other things.Park very well maintained.

Cubbon Park

                                        To me Cubbon Park was like an old citizen's park.

Disadvantage of Cubbon Park:There's nothing to do or see in this park,to me would never visit again.

Advantage of Cubbon Park:very near to UB city and Vidhan Soudha.

Stuck at the National Park with animals.Want to get out and explore other avenues.This might help.

                                    Shoppers Stop and Gopalan Mall are the nearest places in Vicinity
Ulsoor Lake

                         While water holes alongside the road are Bangalore's primal attraction
                                        But I prefer Sankey Tank to Ulsoor Lake any day.


Disadvantage of Ulsoor Lake:Lake wasn't very clean at the time I visited.Would be great for morning jogs.

Advantage of Ulsoor Lake:Near the Ulsoor Lake is the Ulsoor Gurudwara-The only gurudwara in town
