A 90-acre restored Mughal-era garden next to Humayun's Tomb, with heritage tombs, a nursery, lakes and a cafe.
This former colonial-era nursery was turned into a heritage park by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, working with CPWD and ASI. It reopened to the public in February 2018 after about a decade of work. Fifteen monuments stand in its grounds, among them Sunderwala Burj, Sunderwala Mahal and Lakkarwala Burj, and several form part of the Humayun's Tomb World Heritage area. The park also has formal gardens, water features, a microhabitat zone and a plant nursery.
Highlights
- Sunderwala Burj
- Sunderwala Mahal
- Lakkarwala Burj
- Mughal-style central vista and water channels
- Bonsai house and plant nursery
- Wilderness/microhabitat zone
Tips
- Leashed pets are allowed but must be kept away from water bodies and the wilderness zone.
- Pair with Humayun's Tomb next door.
