Mahatma Gandhi Park is the perfect example of what happens to a wild forest when a bit of order and aesthetics is introduced in it. Whether you are desperately seeking some quiet me-time or want to have a good time with your partner or don’t know what to do with a bunch of cheeky kids, head to this park. Beautifully maintained lawns, elegant trees, more than 300 kinds of flowers, neatly paved paths and quaint seats make this place a world of delight. The Nehru Rose Garden here is home to more than 250 types of rose plants. Spend some time by the serene lotus pond and click pictures. You can also go for a fun ride on the toy train in Mahatma Gandhi Park, one of the most interesting places to visit in Chikmagalur.
