Visit To An Amusement Park

Flora and Fauna on Display

I have been to Delhi quite a number of times. So, when I thought of spending a couple of weeks at my friend’s place, I made up my mind, to make it a leisure trip than spending my entire time running from one tourist attraction to the other. Rarely, one gets a chance to explore the capital city of India, as I did. Reena, my friend, had also shifted to Delhi quite a few months back. So, it was such a nice experience to explore a city, unknown to both of us. One fine morning, one of Reena’s friends called up and she invited us for an outing in Japanese Garden.


The name ‘Japanese Garden’ was not so familiar to both of us. We were surprised to know that it is an amusement park, very near to Raj Ghat, the memorial of Mahatma Gandhi, the place where we visited just two days back. We were rally amazed to see the beautiful destination as soon as we entered the park gate. Located in Sector 11, this amusement park has so much to offer. We spent the entire day sitting on the carpeted grass and gossiping with new friends. Reena and I went for a walk beside the woods and the beautiful lake. It goes without saying that the park is rich in flora, of which, the colorful seasonal flowers demand a special attention. It is undoubtedly a well maintained picturesque garden.


What I liked the most about the park is its beautiful exhibition of flower animals. Does it appear strange? Actually it was an exhibition of flower arrangement. Animal structures were decorated with a variety of colored flowers. There were deer, giraffe, birds and the small children were clapping their hands and they were so happy to find familiarity with the picture of animals in their school books. I think the joy in their faces was the best prize for the people who organized such an exhibition. Pictures India offers a myriad of such beautiful pictures from the plant kingdom.
