- Devendra GIndia918 contributionsMuch more than a botanical gardenTo 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.Visited January 2023Written 4 January 2023
- jojoNavi Mumbai, India1,751 contributionsBeautiful GardenBest 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.Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 February 2023

- James cOklahoma City, Oklahoma186 contributionsOk placeI 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.Visited February 2023Travelled soloWritten 12 March 2023
- Mo TChangwon, South Korea94 contributionsThe visit is also worthwhile in the dry seasonThe 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.Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 April 2023

The glass house is very interesting and the flowers were well planned. Even the rock is there. Go there and relax.

Such a pleasant place to stroll earlier or later in the day when the air is not hot. The trees, carvings of old trees and the flower beds are stunning
The gardens are very well maintained

This is really a beautiful place. I went with my tour guide Praveen with hiddengemstours who knew everything about all the trees. I loved learning about them all and I had the added bonus of feeding the monkeys who live on the property.

Poorly managed park. Not enough signage. One gets inside and then there are no maps or signs to indicate your location or directions to other attractions in the park. The government is only concerned about collecting their entry fees and that's it. Would not recommend this park to anyone.

You would be astonished to know that the rocks of the entry area of Lalbagh are some of the oldest in earth. Please take time and visit not just the botanical preserve but a geological as well.

Is carrying home food allowed inside Lalbagh? Post Covid
Is it home food is allowed inside the lalbag garden

As on date March 5th 2023 we took home cooked food in proper steel containers. But they didn’t allow. You can also see there is a board clearly said outside food not allowed. If you plan to go Don’t waste time cooking and going there and get disappointed. We left our food in car and went inside and had to buy snacks because we felt hungry.
But there are food vendors allowed inside which is surprising.
