The Bühler Guesthouse is situated quite near to the old airport; "quite near" equals to some 30 minutes in auto-rickshaw. The airport is not used anymore for commercial transportation but it is still the headquarters of
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). The latter also features a small historical museum. As my housemate Palash is interested in planes too, we spent our Sunday afternoon there.
The HAL museum can not be compared to the big aviation museums in the United States or to the museum of transportation in Lucerne. There is not much information and the exhibited planes are in a bad state. Nonetheless it was worth visiting it and we had fun taking snapshots, enjoyed a Coke in the museum park and chatted.
