The Malabar hill offers superb views of
Mumbai
. On top of the Malabar hills are the Hanging gardens and Kamala Nehru
Park.
Built in 1952 and named after the wife of India's first Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru, this park covers an area of 4,000 square yards and from
here one enjoys a magnificent view of Marine Drive, 'Queen's Necklace'.
The park has a decent children's playground and the constant source of
enjoyment is the gigantic 'Old Lady's Shoe' meant for children to play in.
From the top of the shoe one can survey the entire garden. Another feature
here is the lovely pavilion, which is surrounded by beautiful flowers and
huge lawns. There is also a map of the city engraved in copper.
Outside the park there are hawkers selling 'Bhelpuri', 'Channa', cool
drinks and 'Paan', which one can always relish anytime visiting the park.
