Begin with the exposed rock, then look outward to the watchtower, mature canopy and temple streets. None of those layers needs an invented superlative to make the park interesting.

The signal hill

Kempe Gowda tradition links elevated points around early Bengaluru with watchtowers and bugle signals. Read the tower as a marker of that urban memory, while respecting every barrier.

A roost, not a display

Flying foxes use the canopy as habitat. Watch quietly from the path, avoid flash and never disturb a roost for a photograph.
