  The shear massiveness of this park alone will take your breath away..as soon as you enter you are faced by a picturesque path decorated with small colorful flowers and bushes that goes deep into an abyss of trees that might as well be infinite. Could easily take 3 hours to cover the park (if you are quick). Meet and feed a family of monkeys, go over a suspended bridge that swivels over a river, see the huge quantities of flying foxes hanging from the trees, and appreciate the extensive work and attention to detail that was carried out to create a garden worth of fairy tail book.

  Beautiful place! They have golf cart service that can be booked at the entrance. The garden is huge, so you should use the cart if you want to cover the whole place in one go. There is a discounted entrance fee for students. You have to show your student ID card to avail the discounted ticket. There is a cafe inside the garden that offers both buffet lunch and a la carte option. The food is nothing to write home about, but the price is reasonable and tastes alright.

  Stunning gardens, very well kept with a great variety of trees and plants. There are 24,000 flying foxes (large bats, wingspan over 1m) and this was the highlight for me! 1500 rupees for tourist entry, I felt less ripped off here than a lot of places though, could have happily sat around for longer. Can hear traffic noise (honk) at edges, more peaceful at the centre.

  A quiet and picturesque place where you can probably spend more than half a day provided it isn't too sunny and hot. Owing to the greenery, the temperature surely is a bit lower than the township. There aren't much cafes or bistros inside and one should carry sufficient water if one plans to spend more time inside. The orchid house is small though kept well. Though the park closes at 6.30 pm, the orchid house closes at 5.30 pm. The place is well-maintained and surely is worth a visit, though the entrance fee is high.

  Simply amazing.. To cover this place on foot, you need 1 full day. It has hills all around and a river on the side and also a small bridge to experience it. Lovely flowers, trees and all natural beauty.. The arrangement of trees and plants are something to be looked for. You can spend some quality time on the Riverside with a spectacular view of hills and a cold breeze under the sun!
