- bsinghGandhinagar, India300 contributionsClean and GreenA well maintained park near the Humayun tomb. It is a clean and green island in an otherwise polluted Delhi. There is a children’s play area. The Bonsai house needs to be better designed for a proper display of the plants. The park has an amphitheatre where musical and other programs are organised. There is a Fabcafe which serves good food and snacks.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 December 2023
- macedonboyGlasgow, United Kingdom1,86,808 contributionsLovely Gardens in a Busy CityThe Sunder Nursery is a large park that was once a Mughal era garden and tomb complex. After the end of the British Raj era, the area was left unattended for decades, falling into ruin before restoration finally began in the late 2000s. The restored gardens are amazing. The nursery is filled with flower beds, well tender lawns, plant and there nursery. A surprisingly well tended park considering the state of many Delhi parks. The nursery is also home to many Mughal tombs of important members of the Mughal administration, though not any of the emperors. The most important tomb is that belonging to Mirza Muzaffar Hussain. While Sundarwala Burj, Sundarwala Mahal and Lakkarwala Burj are also worth seeking out.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 18 February 2024
- joellen0713Connecticut524 contributionsA great spot to relax and people watchThis is a place Delhi-ites go to relax and escape the craziness of the city. The gardens and buildings have been beautifully restored and are a pleasure to walk around but what I loved most was seeing local people out enjoying themselves. We visited on a Saturday and the park was full of people having picnics, playing bingo, taking selfies, playing frisbee. It was great to see another side of Delhi. It is very near the Lodhi Gardens and Humayan’s Tomb and the three together make for a great day.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 4 March 2024
- geo3Calgary, Canada1,893 contributionsIf you are at Humayun's tomb anyway . . .Not sure this is a destination on its own, but it is only a few hundred metres from Humayun's tomb, which definitely IS a destination, so why not add this on? 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.Visited October 2023Travelled soloWritten 5 September 2024

I would have rated this place very good a few weeks ago but am forced to revise my assessment. Having been a regular visitor, I used to really enjoy the place, but unfortunately since the Fab Cafe has opened, the vehicular traffic (on the peripheral road) has shot up tremendously. It has become difficult to walk on that road because of vehicles zipping up and down for the cafe. Not only is it adding to the pollution inside the park, it is also dangerous to walkers and pets alike. Many people have been driving fast on that narrow road without check. Honking is also endemic. The presence of vehicles is actually ruining the atmosphere. The administrators should ensure that parking of vehicles is restricted to the parking lot at the entrance.

Dear Rohan T, thank you for your comments. True that with a significant ncrease in visitor numbers from 2019, there are also greater number of vehicles. However, the peripheral road has parking for 250 cars and is busy only on weekends. There are speed breakers after every 100 m. We woukd encourage visitors to walk on the scenic pathways within the gardens rather on the road. There are several kilometres of walkways. Please remember that the peripheral road was built segregated from the garden for a purpose - also it's required for customers to the CPWD Nursery'.

i’ve been regularly visiting sunder for quite some time now with my friend. i’d give this place a 4 star rating however over time i’ve seen some things that i don’t like and show signs of it not being maintained.
the first and foremost is dogs !!
- the premises is filled with street dogs and stray dogs who are all around the park. These dogs started barking at my friend once and we have not visited sunder ever since! these dogs are not owned by anyone and are roaming around and pooping all around!
second thing is that it is not well maintained
- i’ve noticed atleast twice that the grass is filled with puddles due to excessive watering and it makes walking with shoes extremely difficult as you don’t want to get them wet ! especially in the winter season.
third is that there are no lights what so ever
- although it is a good thing that there is no light pollution in sunder it is essential to have atleast some guiding lights to the exit. as it is a huge property first time visitors find it very difficult to guide them selfs in pitch dark (for eg me) and this is true in winter season as it gets dark very early. so a person can get lost in pitch darkness after dawn

Best park for family in Delhi/NCR. It has 99 acres of verdant greens, lovely flowers, artificial lake and a vibrant Playzone for kids. Plus it is a safe destination for families. On Sundays you can even shop at the weekly market and savour food from stalls there. Otherwise there is a Fabcafe inside. Parking can be a pain so please go early during weekends. Also there is an entry fee of 50 bucks for adults and 25 bucks for kids more than 5.

The Sunder Nursery is an outstanding place to visit for walk , picnic or just sit and admire the beautiful green space and some Mughal Architecture tomb. It has beautiful green space with lots of fountains. The best day to visit is on Sunday when the farmer market is on. We went a day before Holi on Sunday which a great day to browse the farmers market and also visit the fabcafe by the lake. You can also take your pets though you have to take of the strays in the garden. A must visit if you live in Delhi or visiting.

The directions in the park has to be more prominent and clear and has to be placed more frequently.
The food stalls are a disappointment after a long, long walk. The small food stalls have mostly chips, biscuits, tea and coffee, and some patties. Only few food vans have sandwiches, which are located at another place.
The full-fledged restaurant by Fab India has a mix of Indian, Thai, italian cuisine. The Ladakhi soup noodles we ordered was of good quantity, light and mildly spicy. However, it is a very busy spot and might take a long time to receive the food. Seating arrangement is small, so there is a rush during lunch hours.
Good restroom facilities. Nice picnic spots throughout the park. It has an amphitheater, which can be booked in advance for holding programmes.
Overall, a nice place to spend with family and friends on a winter afternoon.
Please note: The Drive Way is different from the Walk Way. The Drive Way will lead to the Fab India restaurant. It is a longer distance. The Walk Way is a shorter route to the restaurant. Please do not use the Drive Way if you are walking to the restaurant. You will end up walking miles through an isolated paved forest road, which may make you feel uncanny, though it is safe.

Very well kept place!! visiting Sundar Nursery brought back childhood memories of picnic which is kind of fading away these days.
There are many activities to keep kids engaged, however i would suggest to allow indoor games at least if not outdoor games. Sports like badminton, frisbee etc as its harmless and will not conflict in keeping the heritage site maintained.
I had two young kids and two teenagers accompanying with me and it was difficult to keep them full time engaged because of no permission of playing badminton or any other such game. This is why rated 3 out of 5. If kids would have played their sport here, it would have been 5 out of 5 experience.

We visited the Sundar nursery recently for on a winter weekend and had a lovely picnic. It is such a beautiful garden situated at the heart of Delhi. The lush green gardens and the gorgeous fountains and tombs in between add such an old-world charm to the garden. We spent several hours roaming through the entire garden and it was amazing. There was also a small Christmas market stall run by the Prague embassy serving their national delicacies along with an amazing fashion mela. We had a fun time in the evening exploring that.
You would usually see something or the other happening at the nursery around weekends and it is such a fun place to visit with family and friends. I highly recommend it if you are looking to spend some leisurely hours amidst a lot of greenery.

Large, well laid out gardens, clean, inside New Delhi. Part of the biohabitat includes the Sunder Burj with its beautiful plaster work, striking after a few hundred years, with help from conservation efforts by Aga Khan Trust. Pretty water channel, alive with children. Samples of some interesting scenery are attached.

Sunder Nursery takes you away from the hustle-bustle of the city and presents a very beautiful picture of the nature. This place is simply amazing if visited early in the morning but, I believe, it would look equally beautiful in the evening. Well, worth spending time there with the family

The garden is absolutely a place to cool down with the view it offers. The track is good for walkers and joggers. Historically speaking ,the monuments that offered the bridge between Humayun and Mughals are there and now the beauty of the park maintained well around it gives a pleasent experience to the people who come to roam with all flora and fauna and the colorful scenes .The lake adds to the calm of the place. A must visit if you havnt. Birds,butterflies and flowers,blue sky and greenery is definately a chill pill. Can even organise cultural events in the amphitheatre of it . Pond containing lotus flowers also there . Some transcripts carved out of stone in urdu written on monuments to give a culture experience too. Nature and culture going hand in hand is a total bliss.

Can we order food from zomato/swiggy when in sunder nursery?
Written 15 December 2023
Yes.but the gate is too far. So incase you don’t get place near the entry (which we have never managed to get), then walking upto the gate (main road) and then carrying back lots of food to the interiors is slightly painful.and the best place to sit is actually at the far end where the monument and the small pond is (where Fab Cafe is located)
Written 9 January 2024
A restaurant is there and small food stalls are present. You may contact the administrator of the park for details about opening a restaurant in the park.
