This is an essential site to visit when in Delhi. Magnificent building with grounds to match. An oasis of peace in the chaos of Delhi. Well recommended and deserving of its World Heritage status.

an inspiration for taj mahal,constructed by wife of hamayun,as a lovable memory of her husband,just same as taj mahal but vice versa.simply beautiful but yet under construction.
The "inspiration" for the Taj Mahal, a lovely and historic building in the south of New Delhi. A must see for those venturing on to the Taj. The good news is that you can see this in a short amount of time.
you wonder have to come to the red Taj Mahal---Not really....this is the tomb of Akbar's father & built by Akbar's mother. This structure is the original inspiration for the Taj architecture in Agra.
beautifully laid out....
some times wonder, these emperors were so wealthy & influential in their times that they could create such large grand structures for their...

So when we arrived here it was so quite and peaceful. The actually tomb was beautiful and unlike the taj mahal you can actually go inside and see the tomb. My...

Most tourists first fly to Delhi and spend several days there before venturing onward. That's fine in principle, but after a day or two in the noisy, grimy city you'll be ready for some peace and quiet. Humayun's Tomb is just that kind of place. Go early in the morning, or in the afternoon, and spend a few hours leisurely...

It's a palace that is now the home of Humayun's tomb. The building is fantastic, wonderful views from the palace that is on top. Be prepared to climb about 20 very high steps to get in the palace. The garden is amazing for a rest in the shadows.
I enjoyed this as much as the Taj. Wonderful surrounding gardens scented with jasmine - very peaceful. The semi precious stones are magnificent in their designs. Very special. The information boards are good and there is no hassle from guides. A must see in Delhi.
This site is really quite amazing. It has stood the test of time, walking the grounds and imagining what it would have looked like in its former glory would have been beautiful with the fountains and gardens in full bloom.
It is worth visiting just to see the architecture, again I suggest taking a guide to learn about the history...

This beautiful site of ancient buildings is set in wonderful, sensitively conserved gardens. It is wonderful to spend time exploring the site, and I found the information boards particularly good - something sadly lacking at many other historic sites in India. This is a site which should be seen and cherished.
