How To Reach Hanging Gardens

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
The Hanging Gardens, officially known as the Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens, is a popular public park and a tranquil green oasis situated atop Malabar Hill, one of the highest points in South Mumbai. The gardens were laid out in 1881 and were named after Pherozeshah Mehta, a prominent lawyer and politica l leader of the time. The unique name, 'Hanging Gardens,' comes from its clever positioning: the park is literally built on top of a series of covered, underground reservoirs that supply drinking water to a large part of South Mumbai. The construction of the garden was primarily to cover the water tanks, preventing the contamination of the water supply and also providing a much-needed green space for the city's residents. Because the garden is built over a solid structure, its plant life often seems to 'hang' or cascade over the sides, adding to its distinctive name. The gardens are particularly famous for their meticulously maintained shrubbery, shaped into fun and imaginative topiary forms, often depicting animals. One of the garden's biggest attractions is the adjacent Kamala Nehru Park, which is famous for the "Old Woman’s Shoe" structure, a popular climbing frame for children. From the western edge of the gardens and the nearby viewing points, visitors are treated to one of the most spectacular, iconic views in Mumbai: the sweeping, crescent-shaped expanse of Marine Drive, which, at night, famously lights up to resemble the 'Queen’s Necklace'. The gardens thus serve a dual purpose—as vital civic infrastructure providing water and as a cherished recreational and scenic retreat for locals and tourists alike.

How to Reach

By Air: The nearest airport is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), located about 22 kilometers away. Since the gardens are on the hilltop of Malabar Hill, a direct pre-paid taxi or ride-sharing service is the most convenient way to reach the location, taking approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. By Train (Long Distance) The nearest major railway terminus is Mumbai Central, about 5 kilometers away. From there, a taxi or local bus is required to climb Malabar Hill. Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) is about 6 kilometers away. By Train (Local Transport) The nearest local train station is Charni Road (Western Line) or Grant Road (Western Line). From either station, you will need to take a taxi or auto-rickshaw (if allowed in the area) or a BEST bus to climb the hill, as the garden is significantly elevated and a long walk uphill. By Road (Local Transport) Taxis and ride-sharing services are the easiest way to reach the gardens, as they can take you directly up the winding roads of Malabar Hill. Look for BEST buses that ply the Malabar Hill/Walkeshwar route; these are a very economical, though slower, option. The road that runs past the gardens is Ridge Road. (Approx. )
