Recently I visited Garden City for five days and though of exploring the beautiful city of Karnataka. Banglore (Bangluru) which is also a popular IT hub in India. One of my close friend work in Banglore with Oracle and he picked me from Hotel on very first day of my arrival in the city. The first place I visited in Banglore was Banerghatta National Park and it was a different experience as compared to Jim Corbett, Ranthambore and other Wild-Life regions...

This was the first time a complete family of Lions and all of them were very close to our bus.. Earlier I had seen Lions in Delhi Zoo and a Zoo near Renuka lake in Himachal Pradesh...

After parking our car we moved towards the ticket counter and this was the first colorful building we saw in the campus of Banerghatta National Park... Reserve opens at 9:00 am in the morning and closes at 5:00 pm in the evening. There is an area near to exit gate where a butterfly house is created. Lot of colorful butterflies can be seen inside that dome but one needs to be patient because most of the time they hide themselves behind various flowers in that dome...
