The Meghdoot Garden is next to the Fortune Landmark Hotel, where our group stayed in Indore. It is located on a major street in Indore. A sign in front of the garden reads: "#12: Please do'nt tease garden's animals & buirds & do'nt feed thom." There is an entrance fee of 10 rupees per person. I'm not sure about the garden's hours, but it does get locked at night. There is a rocket-ship slide for children. It was difficult to tell how old the garden was, as it looked quite new. The grounds are very well kept and clean.
My friend and I were the only foreigners in the entire garden, which was not uncommon in Indore. We got some stares from curious locals, which we were used to by our fourth day there. We were surprised, however, when we were approached by an Indian man who wanted to take our picture. We cheerfully complied with his amusing request. After the photo opportunity, I rode on a camel for a small fee. I held on very tightly, as the driver kept on trying to get the camel to go faster. I had a flight to catch immediately after the camel ride, so I really didn't want to fall off. My friend and I spent a total of 30 minutes at the garden, which was enough time for us to sample the Meghdoot Garden’s offerings. It’s a great place for families with children.
