- Inspire422454375634 contributionsThis is the most amazing site I have ever seen. The white marble interior and the gold and precious stones combine to make the temple sparkle. No cameras allowed inside but one for the memory bank. If possible take nothing with you except water or you will queue for a long time to put your bags n storage.Written September 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- geo3Calgary, Canada1,893 contributionsSurprisingly, this park is free - and also surprisingly, it was not overly crowded (although it was a weekday, which was likely a factor). It is nicely landscaped, and a great place to wander. As with many Indian parks, there are tombs scattered throughout the park, and there is also a small lake. If you are lucky, you may see a couple getting there wedding pictures taken, as it seems to be a favourite spot for that.
There are a few wild dogs roaming around, and some monkey packs, but if you keep your distance they are not troublesome.
It was fun to watch several Indian extended families on an outing (especially the grandparents enjoying being with their grandchildren).
If I were to return, I would do a bit of research first, as the tombs all have some history associated with them, and there are no explanatory plaques.Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a separate entry fee, however.
Probably partly because of the entry fee, this park is uncrowded and clean. The landscaping is beautiful, and there are a few tombs scattered around the park.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Everything about it is superb except cleanliness. Toilets are filthy and dark, teeming with mosquitoes. Request dda and concerned authorities to look into the matter. It's shocking to see such poor maintenence of public place in today's times!! See pics.Written April 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK185,714 contributionsSaw this while in Humayan’s Tomb back in December. This is the garden that surrounds Humayun’s Tomb and adheres to the Mughal-Persian notion of Islamic paradise on earth and takes the form of a perfectly symmetric quadrilateral garden. The symmetry is most obvious by walking around the gardens and looking straight down the path at the tomb in the centre. The views from the platform of the tomb aren’t bad either. There’s no effort required to see the garden and you’ll have to walk through it when visiting the complex anyway.Written May 14, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Madhulika LNoida, India6,422 contributionsSituated on both sides of Shantipath, just after the Rail Transport Museum, the rose garden spreads out across lawns, with fountains and water channels along the middle. February and early March are a great time to visit the gardens; this is when dozens of varieties of roses are in bloom across the gardens, from some very common pink or white varieties to rarer ones in hues like deep crimson and pale mauve. There are other flowers too, both atop the pergolas as well as in beds, but the roses are the main attraction.
No entry fee is charged for the Rose Garden.Written March 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tina C9 contributionsDidn’t find the gardens unfortunately. We used the address to locate via google maps. We asked a few people who didn’t see either.

- Madhulika LNoida, India6,422 contributionsFew people realize that Shalimar Bagh, in the neighbourhood of the same name, is actually not just an old garden with some ‘ruins’: it’s a lot more. This garden, laid out when Shahjahan made Delhi his capital (in the 1640s), was designed in the form of the terraced gardens of Kashmir, its pavilions standing across or abutting a central water channel that went down three wide terraces. It was an important and beautiful garden, where the Mughal royal family would periodically come for picnics and holidays, where they could relax away from the hustle and bustle of life at the Red Fort.
The value of Shalimar Bagh can be gauged from the fact that when Aurangzeb rebelled against Shahjahan and proclaimed himself the Emperor, it was at Shalimar Bagh that he had himself crowned.
Today, the entire Mughal-era section, enclosing the pavilions, the hamaam, the well and the water channel, is all closed by a bolted gate. There’s a caretaker, though, who can let you in and accompany you around the place if you want to see it (and if he seems to think you’re really interested). The rest of the very extensive park has lots of trees, as well as a small area with outdoor gym equipment, benches, and so on.
No entry fee is charged for any of the areas within the park.Written February 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
