My Review on Kingdom of Dreams Gurgaon

I had heard lot about this place and so many ads of it made it so obvious for me to visit this place once. So after doing little bit of R&D about the place, I and my friend decided to visit this on last weekend. I started my journey at 11 a.m. in the morning after having my breakfast knowing in advance that this place opens at 1 p.m. Thanks to my little bit of R&D. We reached at the destination on time at 1 p.m. See how important it is to do little bit of R&D before visiting the place; it makes things fall in place. We used metro train to reach to this place as it was near to “IFFCO Chowk” metro station. From metro station we took rikshaw for Rs.20 to the destination, although it was at walking distance from metro distance, it was not in our knowledge before reaching there. As we entered the kingdom, our first task was to take entry ticket, which turned out to be of Rs.750 each including Rs.100 as Entry Fee and Rs.600 for food which is compulsory to spend on the same day inside the kingdom, a way to make you spend at least Rs.700 in the kingdom. Yup Rs.50 is refundable kept as security of the card, which brings some cheers to face at the time of buying of ticket. On Weekday from Monday to Friday, the same journey would cost you only Rs.500. Cool yah !!
As what usually happens, we started viewing this place taking lot of snaps and videos; yup this place is full of wonderful views, so do carry good camera and fully charged battery.We found this place very beautiful, amazing, awesome etc. in short blend of all Indian cultures at one place. Yup bit expensive but worth for one time visit. After roaming for a while we decided to have our lunch. So many varieties were available here that it was bit confusing to decide on which one we should go for? As we always find Punjabi food to be the good choice to have good heavy meals, we went for it. We took 1 Kadai Paneer for Rs250, 1 kashmere Naan and 1 Kulcha worth Rs.60 each. Quantity is good enough for 2 people. Food was delicious and on the top of it we were hungry so we enjoyed it very much. Addition to this, we got to sit on the “Khat”, which brought us feeling of relaxation. Still we felt a bit tired. This may be because we were so enthusiastic and existed to see this place, that we used almost all of our energy in just first two and a half hrs. After that we enjoyed many sips of Masala Tea of Rs.50 having 7 spices of India. Now we had covered almost everything and still we were left with ample time to spend here, you know what how I utilized this time is by writing this nice article of my experience here.What this place comprises of : Lal Quila of Delhi,Truck from Punjab,Train from Mumbai, ”Nawabi thhaat” from Lucknow , beach of Goa, Huts of Kerela, temple of Chennai, Karnataka, Orissa giving feeling of South India.Addition to this some there were some entertaining shows going on from time to time like Rajasthani Dance , Juggling show, Sambhapuri dance, Jugli dance… To cheer up the kids 2 people dressed up in costumes like monkeys were also there who were showing typical monkey harkatein. Kids were enjoying pulling up their tails and running after them.Apart form that there wasn’t much for kids, this is the only part I felt was missing there.For youth or young generation 2-3 bars were also present there to chill out.Now how can I miss such important things, Variety of shopping arcade for gals? Shopping stores displaying famous items(bangles , shawls costing upto Rs.50000,purse,paiting,kitchen items like dinner set, Tea cups etc.,jewellery,clothes ) from every state. Which keeps gals happy and high J. Me also couldn’t stop myself from indulging into shopping, I also gave try to Pathani Kurta, no doubt was looking cool :).Adding to above excitement, luckily we also get to see “Rakhi Sawant” there just from 4 feet. She came there for Star Plus interview. We also shot her video.Finally after having complete fun the entire day, we decided to leave from there, but we missed 1 thing , that’s returning of the Entry Card which we got at the time of buying Entry Ticket thinking that it would be returned at the exist gate. No, I was wrong, after exiting from there we came to know that there was 1 Rajasthan counter, where it was to be returned. So we took U turn and made entry from the Exist Gate after explaining the situation to the guard at the exist gate. Got our refund back, Happy Ending :).

A very informative post but I have a doubt, we can use the 600 rupees or is it just the entrance fees?

Sumit Goel said...

Yes, you get few options to buy from 600 coupons.Most of the money you would spend on the food.
