While only 15-20 min in length it is a great way to see the beautiful rock formations and view thee natural landscapes. You can also access the trail starting from the seaport area and walk along the water. It's a great way to spend an hour or two.

I have height phobia. And I was dragged to take the chair lift. We booked the round trip as I…read morewasn't too much fan of walking around. We were greeted by a very polite and informative ticketing lady who gave us a good brief of the things we can see. I was grabbed by apprehension on the first leg of the chair lift but once you are in the air with legs dangling over nothing and the lakes and trees below you, you learn to take it easy by making sure you fidget or move less or not at all. I survived the first leg and the second one too - else I wouldn't be doing a review. On alighting from the chair lift, we were greeted by peacocks! They were really not aggressive at all and even allow you to pose close to them for pictures. Just make sure you don't grab the birdies.

When I was there there was a wedding in the Conservatory and people enjoying a quite lunch in the park. You could stay here for hours playing, feeding the ducks or reading one of the many statues plaques. A lovely hideaway close to the city centre and if it wasn't for the hum of the cars going by you could be anywhere. A lovely spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Enjoy.
