Howrah
Kolkata, India

The British obsession with tea can partly be traced to this former tea plantation that was so economically important during the colonial days. In the 19th century, however, it was converted into a gloriously biodiverse park featuring palm groves, pineapple plants, wild orchids, and oddities like the world's widest banyan tree, which has since degraded into a mini-forest but is nonetheless a fine sight to see. The tree is more than 200 years old, and curious visitors come from afar to see it. On Andul Road running parallel to the park is the attractive Bicentenary Gate, an enduring image for anyone's scrapbook, and a little farther away is the cable-stayed Second Hooghly Bridge (officially the Vidyasagar Setu), one of the true marvels of East Indian engineering.

Cubbon Main Road

Lying literally across the road from its bigger cousin Cubbon Park, Cariappa is a contemporary site laid out in 1996 as a tribute to the late Indian military hero Field Marshal Cariappa. Its constructed pond and waterfall are fun for the kids to frolic in, while the Bangalore government has designated this an eco-friendly zone, considering that no chemical fertilizers are used for its upkeep-which, oddly enough, is the responsibility of the Indian Army. Thus it's also no surprise that six military bands play in the bandstand every two weeks. Even the playground is designed along a military theme, with its balance bars and death slide-like swing. Consuming food is not allowed inside the park, so strike this from your list of picnic spots.
