Kanak Vrindavan valley
The Kanak Vrindavan valley is a vast complex of well planned and supremely developed gardens that are nestled amongst the foothills of the Nahargarh hills. An ornately carved, magnificent temple made from beige stone also graces the Kanak Vrindavan, Rajasthan.
As you make your way to the three grand forts of Jaipur, you will behold the sight of the Kanak Vrindavan in all its majesty. And erstwhile elephant path winds its way through the valley of Kanak Vrindavan, and it takes you through a scenic landscape full of delightful waterfalls, lovely lotus ponds, and a variety of blossoming flowers.
Birdwatchers will also have a field day in these gardens as they might just spot migratory birds like the Neel Kanth, Kingfisher, and the spotted dove. The charms of this garden are further accentuated by the three centuries old temples dedicated to Natwarji and Govind Deoji.
The Kanak Vrindavan in Rajasthan is an ideal spot for picnics and day long excursions. It’s one of the gardens in Rajasthan that is in full bloom throughout the year.
Sahelion Ki Bari
Saheliyon-ki-Bari or the 'Garden of the Maids of Honor' of Udaipur was once reserved for the royal ladies who came here for a stroll. A well planned garden, with extensive lawns and shady walks situated on the banks of the dainty Fateh Sagar Lake was constructed in 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh for forty-eight young ladies-in-waiting sent to the royal house, as part of the dowry. There are many fountains in the four scenic pools of the garden and it boasts chiseled and sculpted kiosks and marble elephants.
Purjan Vihar
This beautifully laid out garden is popular as a picnic spot. Purjan Vihar was built in 1868 by Maharaja Shiv Dan Singh. Originally, the garden was named Company Garden but later on it was renamed as Purjan Vihar by Maharaja Jai Singh.
