How to do it
- The towers are in Lalbagh (near the rock), at Halasuru near Ulsoor Lake, near Mekhri Circle on the north side, and by Kempambudhi Lake in the south.
- Plan a route with metro or bus between them, and walk the last stretch to each.
- Take a photo at each tower. Check park timings, since Lalbagh and Kempambudhi have gates.
- Allow a full day.
