Nature, Ideas and Idlis: A Morning Walk in Lalbagh
Join us for a morning of sustainability conversations under the open skies of Lalbagh, one of Bengaluru's oldest and historical botanical gardens.
We want this to be more than a stroll. The walk will weave together prompts for reflection, and opportunities to connect — not just with nature, but with fellow sustainability-minded individuals.
We'll begin at the Lalbagh Double Road gate (Put Lalbagh Parking Area on Google Maps/Ola/Uber etc), and end with a quick south Indian breakfast at a nearby restaurant just outside of Lalbagh.
Bring: Comfortable walking shoes, a water bottle, and an open mind.
Leave with: Fresh air in your lungs, new ideas in your head, breakfast in South Bengaluru and a deeper connection with both nature and your fellow walk-mates.
