Hmmm Gilroy!
So have we heard about Gilroy?
Oh yes we have!!!
So what do we know about Gilroy...
Yes, all about its gardens, reservoirs, car showrooms, factory outlets and yes not to forget its golf stretches:-)
Gilroy is not just a city in Santa Clara County in California but is also known to be the Garlic Capital of the world!
Another hidden treasure (not so hidden may be)of Gilroy is Mount Madonna!
This mountain painted in the redwood forest and grassland overlooking Monterey Bay, between Santa Cruz and Monterey, in Northern California provides you with a scenic view.
But my main recommendation is not just Mount Madonna which would be a great hiking and camping place too, but is in fact is the The Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple!
This is a project sponsored by the Hanuman Fellowship and is located within the grounds of the Mount Madonna Center for the Creative Arts and Sciences, a residential private retreat and conference center.
It was established in 1978 by the students of Baba Hari Dass, and offers a community designed to nurture the creative arts and the health sciences within a context of personal and spiritual growth.
The Hanuman temple holds you in captivation as you find yourself in a quiet, soothing and friendly environment. It helps you connect to your self as well with the supreme power and nature.
Do visit Mount Madonna and the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple. A prebooked appointment for a Saturday visit is best way to ensure that you do not miss the chance! Link to appointment page(http://www.sankatmochanhanumansangha.org/visitors/login)
Another hidden treasure for us Foodies is definitely the Ginger Cafe in Gilroy.
Do stop and enjoy porcupine custard buns, pineapple rice, chilly chicken rice. The Garlic butter noodles-Kids menu is super yummy too!
You don't know what you can actually like unless you try it!!!
Gilroy, though the Garlic Capital of the world is Ginger (cafe)Gilroy for me;-)
