Ferozeshah
Mehta Gardens serves as a picturesque retreat for the people of Mumbai.
Suspended over Malabar Hills, the garden presents a picturesque vista of
the dazzling city. It is actually a terraced garden that sprawls on the
slope of the hill. Perhaps this is the reason of its being named as the
Hanging Gardens. The garden is located on the western side of the hills,
opposite the renowned Kamala Nehru Park. The main attraction regarding this garden is that offers a lovely view of the sunset across the horizon of the Arabian Sea. Another interesting feature comprises of its several hedges that have been fashioned into different shapes of animals. Besides the above-mentioned features, you can see a striking flower clock in the middle of the garden. In 1881, Ferozeshah Mehta Gardens was laid out over the main reservoir of the Bombay city of India.
It was named after Ferozeshah Mehta, who was a famous barrister of the former times. This garden is a nice place to go for a stroll in the morning or evening, when soothing breeze cuddles everyone in its gentleness. Hanging Gardens is certainly a beautiful park, where one can spend time in quietude and calmness, away from the crowded city. On your tip to Mumbai, do take out some time and visit this green belt that offers spectacular views, over and above peace.
