Gangamaya Park, Darjeeling, WB

Nice park. Off beat place but it much better place than Rock garden or Tea garden. Only road is issue. If you manage driver to came here then you will not upset. Govt has decorate this place giving everything need for a traveller. Like restaurant boating place for picnic stage for ceremony ocassion.

Very beautiful place but very underrated as road conditions are not so good, but once you get there, it is worth it.
Lakes, fountains, and mountains are all in single place with very minimal number of people. If you are a nature lover and like privacy, this is your destination.

Awesome place to visit 3 km below the rock garden. Can have fun of boating. We have come to Darjeeling 3 times but visiting the place 1st time.

Being located amidst the Darjeeling Hills, Ganga Maya Park is worldwide famous for its amazing and exhilarating boat-rides. This amusement park is situated only 3 kms away from the Rock Garden and is sited at a height of 7000 feet. This park has a mind-blowing waterfall which allures most of the visitors to sit near the pond. This park is a great source of recreation with lots of amusement to entertain its visitors. Really, doing boat riding on a pedal boat fills the life with full joy and bliss. At the peak season, dances are performed by the Gorkhas for entertaining the visitors from all over the world.

I would absolutely recommend this place because of its aesthetic beauty. The people are really friendly. A small river flows by through the rocks and boulders and the place is completely embraced by the green arms of nature.More than the park we enjoyed the ride to the place. The park has some great views and is very picturesque. We liked it more than the Barbatia rock garden which is very crowded. This place is quiet and beautiful.Before you step up to understand the phenomenon the distance you will travel to reach down will tell you everything about scenic brilliance.

Ganga Maya Park is further down the road, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the Rock Garden. Named after an innocent victim of police firing during the GNLF agitation, “it meanders down the course of a chortling mountain stream, past gazebos, clumps of flowering shrubs and trees, over humped backed bridges under which koi-carp coruscate, and into a circular lake with paddle boats and a waterfall.” It has a small lake where boating facilities are available. Gorkha folk dances are performed to entertain the tourists.

Tourist attractions is less due to it not maintain properly. Road conditions are pathetic 😑. Boating 🚢 started.
Although maintenance work have already started . Per person ticket 🎟 is Rs.20 and for parking you have to pay Rs.20 from ticket counter in the entrance gate.There is no extra charges for photography.
Natural beauty is the main attraction for tourists. Nature is also beautiful 😍 ❤ here. Fresh water coming from Natural fountain ⛲. Any one can swim here. Sitting arrangements also very good here. If you go total area in this park you have to burn 🔥 so many calories due its hilly roads.You can easily take so many pictures here.
Food stalls are also available 😋 here but price is more costly than normal. Momo chowmin cold drinks 🍸 beer 🍺 chips 🍟 also available here but not lunch items.
View of darjeeling city is also excellent 👌. Boating 🚢 have started, ticket Rs.50 per person for 30 minutes. This is very attractive here.
You can spend more than one hour in this park but not too much.
If park maintain properly it looks good 👍but due to bad maintenance tourist attractions faded now.
Nothing special is that. We didn't enjoyed 😕.
Upper part is very congested and mainly tourist went down lower part of this park.
Overall experience of mine is not good in this park 😕.
Roads conditions should be improved unless otherwise accidents happen in any interference of the way.
Thanks.

An amazing place but need to Work on the toilets.
Well can't complain much coz it's actually in Nowhere middle of the jungle, rather a part of the jungle but very very beautiful and we had real good time here.

Food and drinking water is available in the shops nearby

There are parks for kids too

Good place for picnic

Parking is available

Beer and breezers also available

Almost like a rock garden although one can enjoy the waterfall without much walking... It's 10min by car from rock garden.
Entry fee= 20

It's a beautiful place generally ignored by travel agents. I would absolutely recommend this place became of its aesthetic beauty. The people are really friendly. A small river flows by through the rocks and boulders and the place is completely embraced by the green arms of nature. It's a really nice and peaceful place with a lake and a waterfall, and rocky hills with mosses.

Gangamaya park is well known sight seeing place for the tourists who comes in Darjeeling. But sorry inform you that the park is not under maintenance at all. The place is far from Darjeeling town and on the same road on rock garden. Lots of things are here, boating facilities, food court etc. But nothing under maintenance and just like abandoned place. I have came here with my family but disappointed. But I liked the place very much. Garden, flowers and tress are beautiful. I hope government should look after it soon and renovate the place again to make it attractive for tourists soon.

Gangamayya park which has a pleasant atmosphere and awesome water falls ,
You must love the nature through the awesome water falls and also you have some enjoyment through the boating.
And also the flowing water is also very pure in the river of the parks which is observed as the flow of the water fall.
It is a place to visit the good location and water falls with low price of the government initialised charge with the park fee....

You must visit and enjoy

Packed with natural beauty. Worth visiting. Don't forget the boat ride.

It's right out of some picture book, beautiful place, not much crowded. it's not a part of the seven destinations the taxi people will cover, you need to speak to your cab driver specifically to take you to this place. The roads however leading you to this place is pathetic and in some places all washed away because of land slides and rains (we visited in the rainy season).
But the place is unbelievably beautiful and you will take tons of pictures out here. This could have been better maintained, the toilets are not clean and boating was not going on when we visited. There are a few shops to sit and munch and enjoy the place. It is a big park and you should take time, it will be better to come in the first half.
This is a little far ahead of the rock garden, so you can visit this first and then while going back see rock garden, however i doubt you are going to like it as much as Gangamaya park. I would highly recommend this place to visit. It was the highlight of my Darjeeling trip.

Such a calm place to enjoy and spend time with loved ones. I did boating for just rupees 50 for half an hour and it was so calm and peace there that This was the best place I found in Darjeeling. No such other place was this much beautiful having waterfall and lake.

This place is hidden gem, the water thrusting over the rocks, the green tall trees, perfect place for camping and hanging out with the loved ones.

Road is very steep.Maintainence is ok ok.Entry fee 20 rupees parking fees 20.The upper part of Gangamaya is not well maintained.Peopke mainly visit down.

This is a very peaceful place. We can hangout there and there are many footstalls where we can have our meal and it's cheap. We can go for boating there and it is a very wonderful place . Cars are allowed and it's best for family trips

One if the best tourist spot in darjeeling but very few cabs take you this place , hence mark this place to visit.

It is a major tourist attraction and you can visit it with your family and friends. The whole ambience of this park is pleasant and the sound of the flowing water from a mountain makes the atmosphere soothing.

Visitors can enjoy a bath from the natural water flowing from the mountain. The park also has a lush garden with beautiful flowers all around. There is a big fish pond in this park.
