GANGAMAYA PARK
Darjeeling, West Bengal, India
The Rock Garden is also known as the Barbotey Rock Garden which is located some 10kms away from Darjeeling town in a valley down below. Ganga Maya is another park area located further down. As you take the right turn from the main Hill Cart Road of Darjeeling towards the Rock Garden, you know that you are in for a nature's treat. In about 25 minutes, this narrow winding downhill road descends by several thousand feet to a valley where the rock garden is located. There are sharp hairpin bends on the way and the gradient of the road is very steep. However the view of Darjeeling's landscape and the mountain range from the road is unparalleled. About 3kms further down is the Ganga Maya Park, which is another relatively new addition to the special attractions. Once you enter the premises of the park, you can find yourself at the foothill of mountains that come from all sides.
