This place is unexplored , it has an heritage value and the trees are of 14th centuries. Place is fantastic for cycling and it comes near to sulibele which is closer to Bangalore International Airport . Government should develop this place and make it more like a tourism spot . There is an ancient temple close by which is worth visiting. However it lacks amenities like toilets and shops nearby . It’s a perfect picnic spot for a family to spend weekends and they should carry food and water while coming.

This place is serene & natural, having temple on one side of the road & an old (said to be 400+ years) on the other side. You won't identify the main tree among many tamarind trees unless you see the roots. No shop or food option at the location, but you can find it at 500m away in nearby villages. In the name of fort, there's one small room. So don't keep high expectations. The best part is route ... You take sulibelle road from Budigere & this stretch of 7 km is empty & beautiful. We like the cycling stretch as we explore different parts of East Bangalore on weekends.

This is a biodiversity site and a devarakaadu (sacred grove). Spread over an area of 50+ acres in Nallur village, this grove has over 300 tamarind trees, some of them apparently 400 years old. It is interesting to note that some of the trees seem to have developed prop roots to support themselves. On one side of the road, you will find the ruins of a small but beautiful Krishna temple, said to date to the Chola period. This has exquisite carvings of Krishna's childhood on the temple walls, but the inner part is completely in ruins. On the other side, there is a huge tamarind tree that has split down the middle (struck by lightning ?) and both parts are growing like separate trees. This tree has given rise to atleast six other trees, growing around it. There are stone benches here to rest tired legs. There is a narrow pathway to walk around the grove, cutting through thick undergrowth. The Gangadevi temple next door has ample parking space for four wheelers and is an interesting site to visit. The idol of Gangadevi is accompanied by a small bust of a 'raja'. There are a good number of birds to be seen here. I also spotted a mongoose. This place could be maintained better. The temple needs clearing of the inside and outside to grant access to visitors to see its beauty. Just about 10 kms from Devanahalli (via NH648, avoidable now because of roadwork) or 15 kms (via Bettakote and Bidalapura Cross), this is a good place to combine with Devanahalli Fort for a half day outing from Bengaluru City. There is a dhaba nearby (New Mayura Garden Dhaba) but access to this place is currently not convenient because of the roadwork. Nallur village also has a bakery that is close to the grove, where softdrinks and snacks are available.

From biodiversity and heritage point of view, this is an unparalleled site. Once can see very unique behavior and physical characteristics of age-old Tamarind trees. A simple proof of what the flaura is capable of if we simply let it live long enough. I am deducting one star as there is nothing else to do at the site. Also, the ancient temple there is in a dire state of neglect.

Nice and calm place. A small pathway leads up to the tamarind trees. Some trees are very old.

Nallur Biodiversity Heritage Grove ( locallycalled Nallur Thopu and Devara Kaadu) is said to be the first such site to get the Heritage Site tag in India .it was declared a Protected Heritage in 2007 . Situated about 40Kms away from Bangalore City , it spreads across 54 Acres and has 295 tamarind trees of great age . The oldest tree is 410 years old . The grove originated 800 years ago within Nallur Fort , (which does not exist now) . The gnarled thick trunks are indicative of age . There are new growths springing out of the old and the trees , old and young, have developed a mutual support system that is unique . Inside the grove is a ruined Krishna Temple and a renovated Gangamma Temple . It is a great place for Nature lovers and birdwatchers to visit . But one drawback is , it also attracts loafers and drunkards who indulge in irresponsible behaviour . Do not expect any amenities ,it is after all a Nature preserve . Enjoy it as it is .

This place is around 45 kms from city. Its located near devanahalli. Its along Nallur Road, after Bagalur. One has to travel along airport road from city and take service road after jakkur. After some kms, you have to take right towards Sathnur. Then comes Bagalur road. Recently Bangalore IT park city is being developed and the roads are wide and you can see construction of Aerospace parks and Bangalore hardware parks. Along nallur road, One can see gangamma temple. This temple is old one possibly 400yrs ago and well maintained. Then can go into the tamarind groove. You can see a ruined small temple build several centuries ago by Cholas. But this place is not well maintained by government. However one can happily watch tamarind trees and can enjoy the time. I feel this place is good to visit during weekends and visitors are very less here.

Lovely place which the government has acquired with no effort! The numbering of trees and lack of any description signs for each tree clearly show how unprofessional and uninterested the department is. On the other hand, the whole place is littered with plastic bags, bottles, and waste paper. No waste bins are provided nor used by the visiting public. A place with good tourist potential neglected by all.

Nalluru kotte we will call. One of the oldest tamarind 🌲 more. In famous Gangama temple is there here. In five years once 14 village including celebrations for jatre here. Last month only celebrations happened.

Good to see this kind of big trees in Bangalore.

Beautiful and unexplored place. It's a thin forest of Tamarind tress which is almost 800 years old. There's a ruined Chennakeshava temple inside the place.

It’s more of an exploration-by-walk with a group of friends kind of place. Definitely not safe to go alone as there is nobody around to guide.

A fort built by Nallur chola king. Legend says the Nallur chola king was defeated by the devanahally ruling King and upon his defeat the fort was destroyed and the temple got left unattended after some time. It's near to Nallur heritage biodiversity grove where one can find trees as old as 400 years which was planted during the chola era. You can also spot various birds. Be careful of scorpions
