Morning walk at GKVK campus

Bangalore city has many green spaces. GKVK campus with 1200 acres of greenery is one such place. Last Sunday, wife and I went for our morning walk at this campus belonging to University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. It was a pleasant walk. Here are some pictures of the interesting sights we saw...






The smell of incense sticks and camphor permeates the air outside a temple...



A Cattle Egret walks around the grassland foraging for insects...














Cashew trees were laden with ripe fruits...


Yellow cashew apples are tastier than the red ones...


Mango trees were also in show-off mode...


I liked these trees with crooked trunks...

  20. What a great collection of photos. The photos of the skinny and crooked tree trunks are my favourites. I did not know about cashew apples, only about cashews. What do the apples taste liek?

    1. Cashew apples are sweet and taste like pear with a hint of mango and citrus flavours. Feni, a country liqueur produced in Goa, is made from Cashew apples.

    1. Thank you! That was my first visit. I think now they don't allow bird photographers inside the campus.

    2. Are they allowing the public for walking post covid?

    3. They don't allow outsiders in the campus.
