Lal Bagh Botanical Gardens

Spread over 240 acres, the Lal Bagh botanical gardens is a well-known botanical garden in Bangalore. Originally commissioned by Haider Ali, the ruler of Mysore, the garden was completed by his son Tipu SUltan and therefore is of historical significance. The annual flower show hosted in its glass house is very famous and the garden also houses India’s largest collection of tropical plants. Some of the trees here are over 100 years old. The Lal Bagh Rock, one of the oldest rock formations on earth, dating back to 3,000 million years, is another attraction that attracts the crowds.
