Banyan Tree
This massive tree was planted in 1873. It's the largest of its
kind in the state and provides a welcome retreat for the weary who come to sit
under its awesome branches. The Banyan Tree is a popular and hard-to-miss
meeting place if your party splits up for independent exploring. It's also a
terrific spot to be when the sun sets -- mynah birds settle in here for a
screeching symphony, which can be an event in itself.
