Hanging Gardens also popularly known as the Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens. Mumbai's Hanging Gardens is a beautifully manicured park known for its extensive topiary, primarily carved into animal shapes. As it is located right at the top of Malabar Hill, you can have the pleasure to spot views of the Arabian Sea, particularly at sunset. It is said it was built over one of Bombay’s main water reservoir to protect it from getting polluted, particularly by the nearby towers of silence. Along with numerous hedges carved into the shapes of animals, the gardens feature a prominent flower clock at its very center. However, the main source of attraction for tourists is the ‘Old Woman’s Shoe’ or the ‘Boot House’ – a giant boot structure made out of stone and brick. Children love to climb and play in this house.
The Hanging Gardens is located right at the top of Malabar Hill. If you're coming by car, take Walkeshwar Road or Ridge Road. if you’re taking public transportation, catch a train to Grant Road (on the Western Railways line) and either walk half an hour to the gardens or take a taxi, which cuts down the trip to about 10 minutes.
