Gargoti - The Mineral Museum
Dear Friends,
We ( I & wife) had been to a business visit to Sinnar Industrial Estate (Near Nashik - on the Nashik - Shirdi Highway), where I found this wonderful museum Gargoti - The Mineral Museum. It contains different types of minerals found in & outside India. Speciallity of this museum is that each mineral displayed is different from the other. Take a look at the photos (which we clicked in plenty) by clicking this link. http://in.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sha.../ph//my_photos Charge: Rs. 100 Per Person. (Includes Guide fees) Timings 10.00 -22.00 Hrs (for other timings pre appointments required ) Last Admission 18.00 Hrs Working Days Open 24 hrs. 365 days No weekly off & holidays Website: http://www.superbminerals.com/mineral-museums.asp Contact No: 0253 2415237 E-mail: info@superbminerals.com Location: It's around 30 Mins by road from Nashik Road railway station. Regular ST buses run from the adjacent ST depot to Sinnar Town. Some buses halt at the Industrial Area while other will drop you at Sinnar Town from where you can take a rikshaw for around Rs. 75 - RS. 100. It falls on the Nashik - Shirdi highway. Some of the photos are attached herewith. Ronak. |

The Guides over there will make you hurry up

Just take care of one thing. The guides over there will make you hurry up (to save power - they switch of the lights as soon as you move away from the area) but you should take your time to see the things. We finished viewing the museum in around 45 mins. to one hr. But we could have easily spent more than 2 hrs but for the guides. Ronak.
