Is visiting Hanging Gardens free and cheap from my Malabar Hill hotel?

Aniket Mahajan · 2 weeks ago ·17 replies

I stay near Malabar Hill and want to drop by the Hanging Gardens. Is it free to enter and how can I reach it without spending much on transport? The gardens are open 24 hours and located right on Malabar Hill, about 0.5 km away. Also, do I need to bring my own snacks because it’s open all day?

You can walk the half kilometre from Malabar Hill it takes about ten minutes and you’ll pass the Marine Drive promenade. Entry is free, so just bring a light snack or a bottled water if you plan to stay out a while; the gardens have no food stalls. If you’re staying at hotel Anupam Residency you’re already close enough to hop on a short walk without extra transport.

You can also take the local bus number 2 from the nearby stop; it drops right at the garden entrance and costs just a few rupees. The garden has a small kiosk where you can buy bottled water if you forget yours.

You can also grab a bottled water from the small kiosk at the entrance if you forget yours. If you’re staying at hotel Anupam Residency, the walk is still only about ten minutes no extra transport needed. Do you know if you’d prefer a shaded spot for a nap or just a quick stroll?

You could also grab a quick bottle of water at the kiosk right at the entrance if you forget yours. If you’re staying at hotel Anupam Residency, the walk is still only about ten minutes, so you’ll be back in time for dinner. Do you prefer a shaded spot or the full view of the sunset?

You might want to bring a light snack and a reusable water bottle; the kiosk at the entrance only sells bottled water, not food. If you’re staying at hotel Anupam Residency, the walk takes about ten minutes and you can hop back before dinner. Do you plan to go early in the morning or later in the afternoon?

If you’re staying at hotel Anupam Residency you can simply walk the ten minutes to the gardens. A good spot to sit is under the large banyan tree near the water fountain it gives a bit of shade and a nice view of the city lights. Since the kiosk only sells bottled water, a reusable bottle is handy. You might also grab a small sandwich from a nearby bakery before you head up.

Consider bringing a small sandwich from a nearby bakery before you head up, and try to arrive early to snag a shaded spot under the banyan tree near the fountain.

A quick walk from your room at hotel Anupam Residency takes you past Marine Drive and into the gardens in about ten minutes. Since the kiosk only sells bottled water, it’s handy to refill a reusable bottle before you go. If you’re planning a late evening stroll, you might want to bring a light sandwich from a nearby bakery to keep you energized while you enjoy the sunset view.

If you’re staying at hotel Anupam Residency you can walk in about ten minutes. The nearest bakery on Marine Drive sells fresh samosas and buns, so you can grab a quick bite before heading up. The kiosk at the entrance only sells bottled water, so bring a refillable bottle to keep hydrated while you enjoy the 24 hour view.

A quick stop at the bakery on Marine Drive before you head up is handy they have fresh samosas and buns that are perfect for a light snack. The kiosk at the entrance only sells bottled water, so a refillable bottle is useful if you’re staying out late.

A good spot is under the banyan tree near the fountain it’s shaded and gives a great city view. If you’re heading early in the morning, the light is soft and the crowds are thin. For a quick bite, grab a samosa from the bakery on Marine Drive before you climb up.
