Heritage Transport Museum - Explore the History Trail

[AnubhaBangia]

Recently, I visited the Heritage Transport Museum, which is around 1 hour drive from Gurugram City. We took the route through NH48, which had one Toll Booth and gave us a smooth drive. Easily approachable place. We visited the place on weekday, so there were very less people. Weekends are filled with visitors.

As, we entered, there is a huge parking facility and welcomed by the security guard. Entry is filled with vintage cars and surrounded with lush greens.

We walked the ramp towards the ticket booth. And, purchased the tickets which included headset and a gadget (walkie talkie) which works as a audio guiding tool.

Ground floor filled with history of Wheels, Bullock Carts, Indian Railways, Bus and Truck Gallery and much more. Few Snapshots below:

Level 0 - Which is filled with Bollywood, The Ambassador, Petrol Station and Automotive Gallery. Snapshots grid below:

1st floor : filled with Toys, Enfield, Rickshaws, Phat Phat and much more. Snapshots below:

Level 2 which has early prints, posters, calendar art, advertising signs and much more. Snapshots below:

The museum looks really great!

I like to visit museums and know about different things are displayed in it. The Bajaj Chetak scooter reminded me of my college days .

Thanks for sharing this post.

Amazing museum and photos @AnubhaBangia I fell in love immediately, especially when I first discovered it last year while living in Gurugram.

The price was a bit exorbitant for a moderately sized collection so I postponed the visit several times but it seems worth looking at the unique collection and how well maintained it is.

The information all over the post and also at the end makes this post a template that every local guide should imitate for writing posts, especially for this kind of visit.

I hugely admire your efforts in composing the photos and putting this post together. Brilliant

[TusharSuradkar]

Wow…! that is indeed great to know that you had a Chetak Scooter in your family @Mukul_Anand

Do you still have it?

[Mukul_Anand]

No , we have to sell it out in scrap because it’s too old but I have many good memories attached with it @TusharSuradkar sir .
