I could not stop myself to write this tip as the forest and greenery always attract me. The library is situated on the scenic 30 acre (120,000 m²) Belvedere Estate, in Kolkata. Like the building, it has maintained well it's beautiful garden and centuries old vegetation. It has a vast forest area which has rare and well preserved trees like Mahogany, The great Bunyan tree, Fig,Peepal, Rosewood, Teak, Sal, Cork , Kikar and so many other trees , I don;t know the names.

It's worth visiting and spending sometime under the trees.

Address: 18, Belvedere Road, Alipore, Kolkata
Directions: Opp. Kolkata Zoo.
