Sunder Nursery

Hidden within Delhi’s vibrant tapestry lies the Sunder Nursery. It’s a place where the echoes of the past intertwine with the vibrant hues of the present. Sunder Nursery, once known as Azim Bagh, whispers tales of Mughal grandeur. Imagine strolling through 90 acres of meticulously restored Persian gardens. Fountains dance, and water channels weave through vibrant flowerbeds. Sunder Nursery isn’t just a park. It is a living museum, home to fifteen heritage monuments. Six of these, including the Sunder Burj, Sunderwala Mahal, and Lakkarwala Burj, are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Sunder Burj, a 16th-century tomb, stands as a testament to Mughal artistry, its roof adorned with captivating star-shaped patterns. Nearby, the Lakkarwala Burj, another 16th-century marvel, is framed by a fragrant rose garden boasting thirty varieties. Sunder Nursery also pulses with life. Over 300 tree species thrive here, making it Delhi’s first arboretum. You might spot the rare Pink Cedar, the only one in Delhi. Or perhaps you’ll encounter the Chukka or Carrotwood, trees found nowhere else in the city. Amidst this botanical wonderland, 80 bird species flit and sing, while 36 types of butterflies paint the air with their vibrant wings. Sunder Nursery is a testament to the power of restoration. From a neglected space, it has been transformed into a vibrant oasis. It stands as a reminder that even amidst the bustle of a modern metropolis, the beauty and tranquility of the past can be preserved and cherished. Sunder Nursery invites you to lose yourself in its beauty, to connect with nature, and to discover the stories etched within its walls and gardens.
