MG Marg
About
MG Marg completely redefines the concept of a busy Indian street. The local government strictly bans all vehicles, smoking, and littering on this beautiful wide promenade. You walk freely down the flat paved road completely surrounded by Victorian style streetlamps, blooming flower beds, and brightly painted green benches. The area transforms beautifully when the sun goes down. The street lamps glow warmly and local musicians often play gentle acoustic songs near the center square. One side of the street features modern cozy cafes while the other side offers incredible traditional handicraft stores. You sit on a cool wooden bench and happily watch travelers from all over the world enjoying the crisp mountain air.
