While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

Our Sunday ritual continued at this pretty location of a park where we pack our lunch, soak in the sun, read a good book, have a picnic, watch a beautiful sunset and admire nature all around us at this beautiful lush green park.. This [sight.name] has been the epicentre of the family fun and is a best place to spend some quality time in the natural surroundings. From great concerts to annual festivals of fun, this park is home to all kinds of entertaining activities. At the same time, it also offers peaceful surroundings for an idle walk and stroll.

There is nothing much for the adults here but if you have kids, they will simply love it here. The place is clean and is very much kid friendly. We went on a sunday and it was really crowded but it is safe for the kids in the crowd as well.

This is a perfect hike with great trails and beautiful sceneries. Every view along the way is beautiful and if you don’t soak in the beauty, you will miss it. There is a gorgeous waterfall along the trail where the pathways are paved perfectly for the trail. The hiking experience was outstanding and we really liked and enjoyed our time.
