Heritage Transport Museum

Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

I remember visiting museums in Kolkata during my childhood pertaining to my interest in History. From then till today I often look for places which could take me back in time. Antique stuff displays the evolution of mankind and lifestyle. Although I am not a huge fan of automobiles but for sure I didn't want to miss a chance to visit a museum which offers opportunities to explore the magnificence of history. I am talking about Heritage Transport Museum, one of its kind in India. The idea of this museum is the brainchild of Mr. Tarun Thakral. 

The love for cars pushed Mr. Thakral to start his own collection back in 1994. This was not an easy task as most of the vintage cars were either rusting under some shed or inside a royal palace. But when there is passion no goal is far. After some time he laid the foundation of heritage transport trust in 2006 aiming to build the first transport museum. 

With some help from private investors and collectors, finally, in 2013 his dream came true by establishing the 1st transport museum of India.

The museum is unique and would leave one awestruck. In total they have 75 vintage and classic cars on display. Apart from cars they also have bikes, a 1930 railway saloon, marine and air transport along with a small aircraft. Outside they have steam engines, buses, tram, traffic signal and other attractive transport vehicles. 

The objective of this museum is to showcase the public and private mode of transportation in India from the start and its evolution.

How to reach- Located 35Km from Hero Honda Chowk in Gurgaon. You can use google map and take the Jaipur highway crossing kherki dhaula toll.

This is a MUST visit place. Although I have clicked all the vehicles but not possible to put everything on this blog.
