While the proposed rooftop cafe and art gallery at the Malabar Hill viewing gallery are creating a buzz, a quieter but significant feature of the highest point of South Mumbai -- the tree-lined elevated walkway carved into the Malabar Hill slopes, connecting Hanging Gardens and Babulnath Temple, built for bird-watching and peaceful strolls -- has slipped under the radar.

While early visitors warned of weekend crowds -- the entry is capped at 200 people per hour, and slots can be booked via the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation`s (BMC) website, up to 15 days in advance.

As an added attraction for tourists flocking to the spot, BMC has proposed to start a rooftop cafeteria at the adjoining viewing deck, which is expected to earn the civic body a revenue of Rs 11.71 crore.
