Which is the most happening place in Gurgaon?
Tao Devi Lal Bio Diversity Park
Designated as a botanical reserve, this park sprawls over two acres with its grounds arranged in trails for walking and biking, offering a few recreational activities. At first sight, the park looks like it would be a good spot for jogging or an evening stroll, yet the real treasure of this area lies in its large bird population that includes more than a dozen unique species. Indian Robins, Black Red-starts, Lesser White throats and Common Tailor birds can be spotted in the forest populated areas. The park is a dream come true for bird-watching enthusiasts
Farrukh Nagar Fort
Many magnificent forts, from which the feudal kingdoms were ruled, can still be seen today. The Farrukh Nagar Fort is located 20 kilometers away from Gurugram, providing a good day trip in the surroundings of the city. The fort, built in the 18th century by a commander, has survived the ravages of time and still reflects the glorious past of the emperors. In the fort, the traditional style of paintings with marble trimmings blends with the austere majesty of architecture. This fort is worth visiting, especially during sunrise and sunset when the rays of light penetrate the octagonal architecture giving the whole place a magical aura.
Sheesh Mahal
Sheesh Mahal, located in Farrukh Nagar, is the most fascinating historical building in the area. Built in rose-red sandstone, Sheesh Mahal is a romantic palace that has immortalized the Mughal era. The spacious rooms, sprawling courtyards and upper chambers are embellished with dazzling mirror work and elaborate murals that depict scenes from courtly life. They are laden with floral and geometric designs. The exquisite ornamentation which reflects the skills of artists gives the entire structure a traditional charm. This is a perfect place to experience the beauty of architecture.
