the most romantic place in New Delhi. It is run down and not crowded with visitors. It is an island of silence not far from vivid Khan Market and noisy Aurobindo Marg. It has a shabby but authentical salmon-pinky-sunset-orange Look, undisturbed green parrots and a lonesome gardener with broom. Bring a book along and enjoy one green oasis wih hardly... More

It is said that it is the last significant monument build during the Mughal era and I must tell you it is magnificent. Especially the interior of tomb where Safdarjung is interred is quite brilliant. Gardens are lush and well manicured and when I went the renovation as well was underway. The waterways and sprinklers were not working but ovel... More

The Monument like other Mughal monuments was based on the Charbagh Architecture i.e. It's just like the Taj Mahal but not made of marble!! The place was undergoing a little bit of renovation at the time of my visit.Unlike the Taj Mahal it's not properly maintained.There are hardly any people there so it's like having a private tour through the...

During my week long trip to Delhi, I visited Safdarjung's tomb (built 1754) twice. I was captivated by its peaceful charm and just felt like I didn't spend enough time to really enjoy it the first time. Very few people were present when I visited. The admission for foreigners is 100 rupees (compared to 250 for Humayun's tomb). One may... More

A Taj Mahal style tomb in the middle of New-Delhi. You'll probably be the only visitor. This is not because it is not grand, in fact it holds its own against any other, including Humayun's tomb. So if you prefer to be in your own company, visit this monument and skip Humayun's, they are very similar. (Although there IS a... More

This is much quieter and more peaceful than many of the other Delhi attractions and was a real gem that appears to be overlooked by most visitors. Well worth a visit! More

If you go to see the Teen Murt area, Indira Gandhi memorial, locate this tomb on your map and walk! One of the few areas of Delhi we're you'll be able to walk freely without meeting other people, totally hassle free. The entrance fee wasn't cheap, and it's nice to walk around in total silence. When you've seen everything else... More

safdarjung's tomb is not very famous the tourists. the nearby Dilli hut attracts much more people. but this is a quite place in South Delhi with a rustic charm of its own. though the overall feel is run down, but still you can go and visit this place if you are interested in visiting historical monuments.

SAFDARJANG’S TOMB is not include on the typical tourist itinerary but is popular with Indians. It was built in the mid 18thC and is one of the last examples of Mughal architecture before their empire collapsed. The tomb is enclosed by a tall wall and entered through an imposing gateway. Inside are large pleasant gardens with elegant palm lined paths... More
