The Horticulture Department opened the online portal to book tickets for the guided walking tour of Cubbon Park in Bengaluru, which will be held every weekend starting July 27.
The initiative, called ‘Cubbon Walks’, is a partnership between the department, The Naturalist School, and BangaloreWALKS. The tour will last 90 minutes, and will be held from 7.30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
The tickets for the tour are priced at ₹200 for adults and ₹50 for children between the ages of 10 – 17 years. Those under the age of 10, when accompanied by adults, can go on the walk for free.
Private entities offering similar tours were charging anywhere between ₹800 and ₹1,500 per person.
The guided walk covers the variety of flora and fauna in the lung space, with presentation of interesting facts and stories by trained naturalists. There will be separate walks for Kannada and English groups. Each group will consist of a maximum of 30 participants.
Those interested in registering for the walk can visit www.cubbonpark.in, or send an email to horticulturecubbon@gmail.com.
The department plans to host such walks even in Lalbagh Botanical Garden after the Independence Day flower show.
