To be honest, I was not expecting a lot when I visited the garden, however it was a very pleasant experience. If you are a nature lover, you will get to spend time with large trees, more than 200 years old, cannot explain how good the feeling was. About the garden, it has four gates, and is spread over an area of 240 square yards. The garden itself is very old, and was first built by Hyder Ali, father of Tipu sultan. If you are a first time visitor, my recommendation would be to take a golf cart ride of the garden. It is easily available when u visit the garden. The ride if for 40 minutes, in which they will take you around the different areas of the garden and explain importance of each area. post the ride, it is much easier to identify, where you want to spend the rest of time. Overall, highly recommended.

Best botanical garden having many attractions. We could visit the area by vehicle charging Rs 100. The garden was very beautiful properly maintained having aquarium, glass house, floral clock,nursery, parks, lake, rock etc. Arrangement of peacock and gate was very beautiful. Very old trees, bell flowers, Elephant Trunk tree etc were unique attractions. Home of various species and birds were also seen. Parking was good. There were also other functions of flower shows and recreations. It was properly maintained.

Very beautiful place to visit in Bangalore. Full of greenary with Lakeview. I had visited during the flower show which was arranged inside the glass house .It flower arrangment was beautifully done To know and to see old trees . Cool climate and relaxable atmosphere.

I visited this place on a personal tour. You pay but there is no camera allowed but mobile photography is allowed, didn't comprehend. My guide said take photos anyway. I did once you climb the hill with temple at to . The gardens were completed by tipu sultan. There are trees and plants from all over the world . The most impressive is the cotton silk tree, its huge by volume. There's a japenese garden. A nice lake and many nice botanical pathways.

The botanical garden does not have many flowers to show in April due to the dry season, but the visit was still worthwhile. There are beautiful and old trees, a lake, monkeys to see. It is a green oasis of tranquillity, where one meets families, couples, groups of friends who enjoy the park. The entrance fee of 30 rupees is also valid for foreigners (mostly foreigners pay 300 rupees when locals pay 25). Make sure you bring enough water, but you can buy fruits, ice creams, softdrinks. You can bring a blanket to lie down on the grass. It is not allowed to take photos with a camera (there are commercial photographers on site), but it is possible with a mobile phone. At the entrance/exit we could not find any tuc tuc driver willing to use his tariff meter, they all want to negotiate a fixed price, we found that very annoying! They missed the deal, we ordered an Uber.

This is one of the most fascinating botanical gardens in India. It has been made more senior friendly with the guided 40 minute electric cart ride. Must see place on your next visit to Bangalore.

Easy to reach there. It's a big garden with lots of trees from different countries. The glass house is very interesting and the flowers were well planned. Even the rock is there. Go there and relax. Electric vehicles are also provided to visit all locations inside.
