Landscaping Doon
The most beautiful green space in
Dehradun that I enjoyed – Mindrolling Monastery. I don’t know who the
landscaping artist is, but hats off to person
responsible. Outstanding job. The temple premises is landscaped keeping the
cultural sensitivity of the space and yet so inviting, open and peaceful. Just about
the perfect getaway in the city. Ideal for a Saturday and Saki, and if you need
sustenance of a more material nature, Norjin Restaurant and café opposite to
it. Check them out for the best Tibetan cuisine and yummiest pastries in
Dehradun. Its become my must go place far from the maddening crowd. Let me know if any of you know the landscaping artist?
One other place I always wish I had time (and permission of course) to design is the Shiv Mandir on Rajpur Road. Seen the temple? Serendipity is just the right word to describe the place. The site has immense potential to become THE showpiece green space of Dehradun - what man (or woman) can do if they put their mind to it!
Seems to be a nice place for outing as well as relaxing,but where exactly is it .pl give the exact location of it .Thanks for posting the pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
Its on the left before the parking areas for the Monastery. Check it out, nice place.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Are you asking where the monastery is? If this is the big new monastery I saw a few years ago it is on Sahastrdhara road, if memory serves me right.
