    From Edens

    None of us have been to the gardens of Edens, yet, but we may find the Shalimar Gardens tucked away in between somewhere there. In desperate need of love and care it still sparks as a realm of peace.

    Tranquil spot in a hectic city

    Visited the fort and mosque ... then relaxed in the gardens with a coffee at one of the stands. Was lovely to watch the locals wandering the park with their children at sunset ... a tranquil place to come and people watch
