Kothrud hill

Lovely for a morning walk, especially nearing monsoon

Beautiful peacocks and scenic sunsets

This is a good place for a fun short walk. I usually go here to play cricket with friends. If you enter through Mahatma society, there's a cement pitch and a few more pitches with plenty of open space. Would recommend coming here to refresh your minds which become apavitra.

Best place to go for unplanned walks. You can occasionally spot one or two peacocks. The weather is so pleasant and wonderful, you almost don't want to go back!!

It's a quite peaceful place to be. There's next to no sound of civilisation, except a bit where road is nearby. In rainy season, it's covered by green grass, which makes it a sight to see. However, in winter, the grass is very tall and dry, and may even come on the path. I think some volunteers clear this up, and road is open for walking. You can hear peacock from time, and might even spot it at times. However, due the serenity of the place, more and more people come here, and we can't say everyone is environment-friendly. A lot of plastic waste, or food waste, bottles are just thrown here and there by visitors. Worst site was the fee of a tree that was made dumping ground by these visitors. It will be better if visitors don't bring such waste with them, and if they do, it will be better if they take it back with them.
