About
Spread over a vast expanse of 15 acres, Amrit Udyan has often been portrayed, and deservedly so, as the soul of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Originally, it included East Lawn, Central Lawn, Long Garden and Circular Garden. During the term of former Presidents Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Shri Ram Nath Kovind, more gardens were developed, namely, Herbal-I, Herbal-II, Tactile Garden, Bonsai Garden and Arogya Vanam. Further, visitors can spend time in multiple attractions, a specially curated garden for children called Bal Vatika with a story of a 225-year-old Sheesham tree, a treehouse, Nature’s classroom etc. Then there are the Bonsai, Circular Gardens with a diverse variety of flora and fauna. Visitors can visit the gardens in Feb-March and Aug-Sep from 1000 hrs to 1800 hrs (last entry 1715 hrs). Entry will be from Gate No. 35 of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, near North Avenue.

We went to Mughal Gardens, situated at Rashtrapati Bhavan (India’s President House) complex, on 16th Feb 2020, Sunday. It was quite hot during the afternoon, but we reached at around 11 am and thanks to GOD we were having online booking so we directly knocked at the entry. Since the entry is free during Udhyanotsav, held every year during Feb-March, almost everybody heads to this place. The management just couldn't handle so many people. Moreover they don't allow you to carry any bag. Even small sling bags were not allowed and were required to be submitted in a cloak room which again had a huge queue.
As far as the place is concerned, it is beautiful. Huge number of colorful tulips (reminded me of The Netherlands), roses and other flowers are there so it is very beautiful. Musical Fountain show is just awesome, Herbs garden is just wow.
Overall a good experience.
Tips:
1. Get online booking done and save hours. The booking opens 7 days in advance.
2. Avoid visiting on a Sunday (specially in afternoon). It sucks to stand in a queue (not even a proper queue) for hours.
3. Mobiles and men's wallets are allowed in the garden, otherwise and except these you can't carry any thing inside. NO NEED TO WORRY: Cloak Room facility is available out side free of cost.
4. Don't carry any water bottle there as its freely available.
5. No camera allowed.
6. Monday closed.

Mughal Garden is situated inside the Rashtrapati Bhawan (The President of India's house) and remains open for general public from February to March every year for a month (appx.). This is a beautifully maintained garden. You are not allowed to carry even a water bottle inside the garden but you will find enough arrangements for the same. Basically, it consists 5 segments. After entry, your will find herbal plants first, then bonsai garden, then musical fountain, then main mughal garden, then rose garden and at the exit, the final garden. You need minimum 2 hrs. to visit the place fully. The route is designed in such a way that once you will enter, you have to visit all the places. At the exist, they have an arrangement of snacks (paid) where you can have small meals like samosa, kachori, burger, sandwich, chole kulche, ice creams etc. A sovereign shop is also there which accepts payment from cards. You can buy some articles from there. To reach there, you can take an auto from Central Secretariat metro station (if going by metro). It is advised not to visit here on Sunday as you will find a big crowd here. If you have no other choice, try to be there by 10.30 am so that you can enjoy your trip before it becomes much crowded.

When my daughter from USA visited us recently, we planned to visit Delhi and at that time there were reports in the newspapers that Prime Minister had renamed the Mughal garden with some extra features and so we visited this garden, which is now known as AMRIT UDYAN, which means Garden of Nectar. As per the new procedure, the slot for the visit is to be booked online in advance and my daughter did it accordingly. From Ghaziabad we hired a cab and it took about 90 minutes to reach the main gate of the garden, which has recently been changed for the purpose of parking and security. There was heavy security. We were thoroughly frisked and joined the que for entry to the garden. No food items and bags including ladies purses are allowed to be taken by the visitors inside. Of course, small water bottles were allowed. All visitors are directed to follow que and the route manned by security staff was to be strictly followed. The garden is really very beautiful but it was very much crowded and so the photography is also difficult because of movements of people. There are different sections for different types of flowers and herbal plants in the garden. Origin of all these plants with their names are depicted for students of botany to understand. Some of the plants are of rare variety. We took some photographs with the background of President's house or Rashtrapati Bhavan. The cafeteria is also available that provides many types of snacks, soft drinks, tea and water etc. This garden opens around last week of January or early February, i.e., spring season for about a month every year when the weather is pleasant and always draws a lot of crowd. The entry is free but online booking is a must.

Tips:
1. Get online booking done and save hours. The booking opens one week prior.
2. Never visit on a Sunday afternoon. It sucks to stand in a queue(not even a proper queue) for hours.
3. Don't carry a bag, avoid even a small carry bag. Carry only mobile, id and cash. Even a comb will not be allowed.
Experience : We went to Mughal Gardens on 16th Feb 2020, Sunday. It was quite hot during the afternoon around 2pm when we reached there and we had to stand in a queue for 1.5 hrs, a queue that extended to quite a big stretch on the main road. Since the entry is free, almost everybody heads to this place. The management just couldn't handle so many ppl. Moreover they don't allow you to carry any bag. Even small sling bags were not allowed and were required to be submitted in a cloak room which again had a huge queue.
Overall not a good experience. Even after entering Mughal Gardens, there was so much rush that I felt a stampede could happen anytime.
As far as the place is concerned, it is beautiful. Huge number of colorful tulips(reminded me of The Netherlands), roses and other flowers are there so it is very beautiful. But the entrance is very dusty.
Advice to management: Stop ppl from entering the place when it becomes unmanageable.

We went on Sunday for the 4pm slot and the place was very very overcrowded. Instead of being able to enjoy and see the flowers, we were jostling with the crowd for most of the time. The concerned authorities should really do some capacity planning and only allow the number of people whom they can manage. Limiting the number of people allowed to enter will also let them enjoy the majestic place in a much better manner. The whole joy was lost in the massive crowd. Very very disappointed with the experience.
Few points to note - Cars can be parked in the whole of the North Avenue (we had parked in the Museum parking on the Mother Teresa Crescent and walked from there). Phones are allowed inside. No one checked our ID cards.
I feel it will be less crowded during weekdays or during the morning hours (but not sure)

Take your best camera along... Beautiful collection of flowers with a backdrop of Rashtrapati Bhawan... 3 gardens in all. Rose garden is good too.It will be a 2 hours well spent . The show lasts from second week of Feb for a month .Try to go in the earlier days (february ) as it gets hotter towards the last days. wheelchair accessible which you can get at the check in. Toilets and drinking water easily accessible. This time it was online booking. Tickets could blow up really fast in that case...

We really enjoyed our visit here. We went on Sunday and got there for 9am as published on the website. It didn't actually open until 10am, but we're so glad we were there early as there were very large queues. As we were at the front of the queue, we could walk around without large crowds.
The gardens are so will cared for and beautiful, so picturesque.
It's free to get in but only opens February and March. So glad our trip coincided with these dates.

During Feb, Mar month, Mughal Garden in Delhi's Rashtrapati Bhawan opens for public.
One time visit is fine, but try to avoid weekends. Online booking option saves some time.

My friend was keen to visit as she had heard good things . The visit was disappointing, the plus’ is its free and that’s where it ends. It was overcrowded with strict rules on how to navigate the gardens and yet at the same time a feeling of utter chaos.
The flowers and plants were okay however large sections of the gardens were closed off. I would recommend Visiting early to avoid the crowds.

We went on the very first day of opening of "Amrit Udyan" in 2024.
I do appreciate the pick & drop service to & from Central Secretariat metro station which made visiting easier.
The garden itself didn't have much to see or do. We didn't see a wide variety of flowers there.
The area is picturesque with Rashtrapati Bhavan (president's house) in the background. There's a couple of water fountains which are interesting.
Food is nominally charged (see pics for menu & rate list) but not great quality. The washrooms are clean and have soap.
All in all though a boring visit. Kids might enjoy this short picnic.
