We loved our visit. The grounds are so park-like, and the preservation is really well done. The Gandhis were interned here by the British during WWII and except for the fact that it was virtual house arrest, their stay must have been most comfortable

I call this as place of memories bcz the cloths and things belong to Mr & Mrs Gandhiji are kept here. Nice to see those thing which will make your eyes wet. Place is good, lawn and garden are well maintained, too calm place. Even you can find some patriotic books and handicraft items including khadi cloths.

This Palace beholds many stories from the era of Independence. Situated near the Yerawada Locality, I loved the garden and the the Palace Architecture. Gandhi Ji's wife Kasturba spent her last days in this Palace. A very peaceful environment and well maintained park and Gardens will certainly attract you.

The gardens are tranquil and the building is quite beautiful! I walked around for a bit before heading into the museum. Inside, it is very poorly kept and is in serious need of attention. All of the photographs are peeling and faded which is quite sad really considering the importance of the site. The ashes are kept at the back... More

Disappointing, as a foreigner you pay more, and there are only 3 rooms you can enter and see information about Ghandi. It is in a lovely surrounding but only took us a few minutes to go around. I was expecting more

Here you will see things associated with Mahatama Gandhi. They have mainted it well and the fare for indian tourist is minimal. You can avoid buying stuff near MG and her wife's cementry.

...may roam these halls, given his time in exile here prior to the departure of the British from India. Aga Kahn does take the visitor back in time, and the exhibits and interpretation help to understand the role of this place in India history. Gandhi was imprisoned here for several years leading up to partition, and his wife and chief... More
