Shrubbery Nightingale Park in Darjeeling is a beautiful public park in the city. Erstwhile the private courtyard of Sir Thomas Tartan’s Bungalow, this park was once upon a time the relaxing place for the British women back in the colonial days.
After being destroyed in a devastating earthquake in the year 1934, it was rebuilt into a splendorous park that became renowned for its beauty all over the country. During 1950s and 60s the park was a hot spot for Bollywood movies. However, with passing time after a couple of decades the park was neglected due to the growing tension in Darjeeling hills.
In 2011 the park was again redeveloped and opened to public. The place has still held on to its charming beauty and with its reconstruction, the beauty of the park has only been enhanced. Once again the place has become a favourite place for tourists travelling to Darjeeling and as for the locals the park is like the new toy of a child. So, on your visit to Darjeeling do make sure to visit this park, and be spell bound by its beauty.
