Bugle Rock Park

"This is a very huge and beautiful rock garden just beside the Bull Temple. We visited the Bull Temple and unexpectedly found this garden. We were surprised that such a beautiful garden was full of greenery and rocks. The best thing is that the entry is completely free, no entry fee at all. This garden has well constructed pathways, lights, and rock stairs without harming nature. In pathways you will find some sitting arrangements with proper shades. My child really enjoyed the vibe of this park."

"Bugle Rock Park in Basavanagudi is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem tucked right in the middle of the city chaos. The moment you step in, it's like the noise of Bangalore just fades away. Giant ancient rocks, some say they're over 3,000 million years old, stand tall like silent guardians, and the trees give off that perfect shady vibe for a lazy stroll or a deep chat with a friend. There's a small temple inside, and you'll often spot older folks doing their morning walks, kids chasing squirrels, and couples just chilling on the benches. The walking paths are neat, and there's even a little gym setup near the entrance if you're feeling energetic. But honestly, it's more of a breathe and relax kind of place than a workout zone. The best part, the view from the top of the rocks. You can see parts of old Bangalore stretching out in every direction. It's especially magical during sunset. If you're ever near Bull Temple or Gandhi Bazaar, it's totally worth a detour. Bring a book, grab some peanuts from a street vendor, and just have them calmly. It's Bangalore's version of a quiet hug."

"Excellent place to visit with friends and family. Well constructed pathways to roam around the rock garden park. Beautiful surroundings with the rocks and lush greenery all around."

"Breathtaking beauty. Amalgamation of nature (trees, rocks, and bats), man made ingenuity (slopes, gardens), and God (Dodda Basava/Big Bull/Nandi temple). Rocky slopes for adventure, Rocky altars to sit on and soak in all the greenery while listening to the chirping of birds (mainly bats). Nearby is also the Dodda Ganapathi temple, and Govardhan giri temple."
