- Steve_Grant1Oldham, UK1,865 contributionsThis is not an ancient historical religious site but still well worth the visit. Some beautiful workmanship inside and out. Sadly you are not allowed to take cameras or phones inside at the present time.Written 6 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Description: Created around scattered monuments and tombs dated from Sayyid dynasty from fifteenth century, known initially as Lady Willingdon Park and renamed after it was redesigned by J A Stein in 1968, Lodhi Garden is a nicely curated park at the heart of New Delhi. The garden is spread over 90 acres and contain tombs of Sayyid Sultan Mohammad Shah and Lodhi Dynasty ruler Sikander Lodhi, Bara Gumbad and Shisha Gumbad.
We visited this garden in a cool February afternoon. The lush green, the curated flower bed, the bonsai park , the lotus pond and within this backdrop the monuments from fifteenth century Islam Rulers gives a great vibe. These monuments are illuminated in the evening and looks stunning. A great place to spend few quite hours amidst the history and the greenery around.Written 14 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Suchig06New Delhi, India592 contributionsOne of the best childhood memories with all cousins and elders were created here. Simple park, safe and clean, ample swings and very good walk ways. A water pool stretching within the park used to have water and a dummy crocodile (till 1995). The aquarium zone has been fun and that can be made better - add a voice feature to learn about stored fishes. May be put some mechanical puppets, clowns, traditional (life-size) dolls, folks etc. People can pose with them and take photos.
Appu Ghar used to have a clown which used to laugh and move after we dropped in a coin. something like this!
I hope the authorities never make it a contemporary westernized unsafe park in the name of modernization.
The park is walking distance from India Gate and has easy access.
Old park culture symbolizes the purest love and affection we had as kids towards fellow kids and animals in the parks around us.Written 4 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You'll need someone local to get it for you. I couldn't figure out if the zoo required a local cellphone number or credit/bank info, but I couldn't do it myself. Luckily, someone at the front desk of my hotel took my rupees in exchange for a little help.
I've visited zoos all over the United States and around the world. I was a little disappointed with how many empty enclosures there were at the National Zoo in Delhi. However, it was late December and maybe animals were off exhibit due to temperature? There were free-range monkeys everywhere!
Outside food and drink are banned, and the bag check was surprisingly serious. There was water (though likely nonpotable to most tourists!) I didn't see any real places to eat inside the zoo, only a short walk away.Written 20 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gaurav ManuNew Delhi, India160 contributionsIt is based on the concept of Japanese Garden, and it is landscaped well with plethora of flora & fauna.
You can spend an entire day here; however, it is quite a popular place so tends to get pretty crowded. So, it is not as quite or serene as you would want such place to be.
Nevertheless, good place to visit and spend some time.Written 31 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I think more than the staff appointed for this work, people who visit such places should be responsible for taking care of cleanliness. So, my request to those who visit any such place is: don't litter, respect nature, and keep clean.Written 16 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- A ChoudhuryNew Delhi, India112 contributionsLocated at Connaught Place just across Rajiv Chowk metro station, it is a happening place where people visit with their friends and families. Many cultural and musical events are organized here, the added attraction is the Indian flag. Good place to hangout for a couple of hours.Written 8 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Flipperty GibbertCarlisle, UK152 contributionsLovely park, full of 14th century ruins. Gorgeous views and photo opportunities everywhere. Amazing at sunset. Lake is lovely- very popular with couples. Handy for local cafes shops and street market. Area is vibrant. Close to metro. Great place to escape Delhi's hectic streets.Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Madhulika LNoida, India6,855 contributionsUnlike more formal parks (even the not-too-far off Nehru Park among them), Buddha Jayanti Park is a cross between the wild and the tamed. It is located in part of what is known as the Central Ridge of the Delhi Ridge, and while the more intrepid of Delhi’s naturalists would do best to wander right off the roads and into the forested scrub, for those of us who are less adventurous but would like to experience at least some of the Ridge, this is a good place to start.
Buddha Jayanti Park, of course, draws its name from the Buddha, and so there is some presence of the Buddha and his teachings. Every now and then, there are stone slabs with excerpts from his teachings inscribed on them, and close to Gate No. 1, there is even a large gilded Buddha statue in a pavilion. Unfortunately, in an attempt to protect this, the authorities have surrounded it on all sides with clear plastic, which robs it of its beauty.
My husband, daughter and I visited on a monsoon afternoon. It was not raining, but it was quite humid, so perhaps that was why there were very few people around: we pretty much wandered where we liked after we’d parked in the (paid) parking lot inside Gate 1. Paths make their way all through the park, and there are lots of trees, both endemic as well as exotic: fried egg tree, plumeria, amaltas, sicklebush, gaub persimmon, dhak (palash or flame of the forest), gulmohar, peepal, agave, several species of cactus (in a separate cactus patch), several species of palm (in a palm grove) and so on. For a tree lover, this is a very rewarding place.
It’s also worth visiting if you love nature in general: there are plenty of birds around (in the brief while we spent here here, we saw lapwings, kingfishers, barbets, parakeets, and more), and the very fact that you can get right in amongst the trees makes it an adventure.
No entry fee is charged. There are benches and some scattered dustbins. Just inside Gate 1 is an ice cream cart (the vendor informed us that further on, near Gate 2, there’s also a restaurant, but we didn’t confirm this, since we didn’t go that far).Written 31 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Renee AHowe, TX25 contributionsWhat a perfectly peaceful place to walk in nature while surrounded by the large city. Many, many birds to find plus cool morning air. For the nature lovers, I highly recommend. Be sure to walk up to the top of the wall for a panoramic view of the city.Written 1 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
