Hanging Gardens of Mumbai Face Up to 7-Year closure

The famous Hanging Gardens of Mumbai, a beloved tourist attraction perched atop Malabar Hill, are on the brink of a long-term closure lasting up to seven years. This decision stems from the need for extensive renovation and restoration work to maintain the gardens' grandeur.

The gardens, also known as Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens, have been a green oasis in the bustling city since their inception in the late 19th century. However, time and weather have taken their toll, resulting in deteriorating infrastructure and overgrown flora.

The ambitious renovation project aims to revitalise this iconic site, including restoring its terraced layout, enhancing landscaping, and upgrading essential facilities for visitors. The anticipated seven-year closure reflects the scale and complexity of the restoration work required.

While this closure may disappoint tourists and locals who cherish the gardens' panoramic views of Mumbai and its Arabian Sea coastline, the long-term goal is to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy this historical gem. The project is set to breathe new life into the Hanging Gardens, preserving their charm and natural beauty for years to come.
