10. Bhubaneshwar



This city is called the Temple City of India. And surprisingly enough, it is also one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the country. The Chandaka reserve forest is quite close to Bhubaneshwar. Most importantly, there is no dearth of greenery in this city.

11. Delhi



Sadly, Delhi has dropped down on this list, and we have only improving infrastructure to blame. Delhi has a wide variety of parks scattered all over the city and parts of it are still covered with trees. Interestingly, a lot of buildings in India are being designed with the concept of going green. We hope that it helps to elevate Delhi’s position on this list.
