The Bugle Rock Garden (Bangalore)

Bugle rock garden is situated adjacent to the bull temple in the same campus. The rocks in this garden are supposed to be one of the oldest natural rock formation in the world which is more than 10 million years old (some say 3000 million years old). The rocks in this garden are internally connected with the rocks in lalgabh garden. This bugle rock garden is spread over 16 acres of land with many beautiful trees and plants. There is a watch tower in the garden which was used for blowing beguiles in the past for safety purposes. The most interesting attraction for me is the bats which are typically found hanging under every branch of the huge trees in this garden. This video was shot in the year 2009.

Visiting Matheran – The Eco-sensitive Hillstation near Mumbai

Matheran is an Eco-sensitive hill station in Maharastra about 100 kms from Mumbai and 120 kms from Pune. It is situated about 800 meters above sea level on Sahayadri hills. From Mumbai we went Neral by a local train. From Neral there is a special narrow gauge toy train to Matheran which usually does not operate. From Neral we went upto the hill by a shared taxi (Busses and bigger vehicles don’t go to the hill).

This is a declared as an eco-sensitive place. You cannot see any motor vehicles on top of the hill as all kinds of motor vechiles are banned on top of the hill. One has to either take a horse or go by walk to visit different tourist points on Matheran. However, I could feel lot of dusts there on the hill because of dry soil and lack of proper roads.

There are more than a dozen interesting points on top of the hill. (A longer list shows more than 30 points to see). We first went to the panorama point, then Nigam’s point, heart point, Monkey point, Sunset point, Paymaster Park and finally echo point. We were pretty tired by walking and walking. However the day was interesting and adventurous.

Parks and Gardens in Mumbai

We visited some interesting parks in Mumbai including Hanging Garden, Kamala Nehru Park, Brahma Kumari Peace Garden and some other Parks of which I don’t actually remember the names.

Hanging garden is located at the top of Malabar hill. This is a very old park laid out during 1881. This is also called as PMG (Pherozeshah Mehta Garden). This is a public park and there is no entry fee to visit this park.

Kamala Nehru park is also located on Malabar hill just opposite to the Hanging garden. It is also called the shoe park. There is a huge shoe shaped structure inside the park. This huge structure of shoe is also called as the old woman’s shoe. As the park is located at a height, you can get a good view of Chowpathy beach from here. When we were there in the park, there were many helecopters flying on Chaupathy beach and people were falling through paratutes. This was a great spectacular view. We also had visited Brahmakumari Peace Garden, Shivaji Park and some other parks which I could not remember properly.

A Travellor’s view of Mumbai VT and the Town Hall Buildings

Victoria Terminus or VT is one of the most important heritage buildings which used as the railway station of Mumbai. There are many railway stations in Mumbai however VT is the last station. The station is also called as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). This building is very old and reflects beautiful British architecture. Near the station there is a place with lot of pigeons. People come here to feed the birds.

Town hall is another important heritage building (Saheed Bhagat Singh Road) which is located near to the Victoria Terminus. The townhall houses Asiatic society which is a huge library containing about a million books. The library was established two hundred years ago in 1804. The structure of the townhall is elegant and easy to remember. It is shot in many bollywood movies in various contexts.
