Hello Folks!
I happened to go for a walk around Lalbagh. I discovered that there flower show was also there. Fairly crowded, but its such a beautiful time to be at Lalbagh
a) The morning warmth in the winter as you walk down the woods
b) Staring at different country's plants/trees. I saw a palm tree brought from Madagascar. Apparently there are trees from Australia also brought here
c) Early morning Thindi run with Filter Coffee and Thatte Idli by the streets
d) Multiple colour flowers
e) Entry Fee is about 70 INR and 35 INR for an adult and child. If you go at 6 AM, there is no entry fee till about 9 AM.
f) Metro travel is best. I had been last week on the Metro and yesterday in my car. One would need to park the car easily 500 metres away. Helped me finish my step goals 😉
