Sunder Nursery: Tickets, Hours and What to See

Sunder Nursery Park is at Sunder Nursery Park, near Humayun’s Tomb, Nizamuddin, Mathura Road, New Delhi 110013. It sits opposite the Humayun’s Tomb complex and near Nizamuddin Police Station, making the two heritage sites easy to pair in one outing.

From KRISHNA INN, Humayun’s Tomb is about 14 minutes by car; pair the visit with Sunder Nursery’s gardens and monuments across the road. From Nizamuddin Railway Station, the park is about 800 metres away.

A cycle rickshaw or short-trip autorickshaw takes less than 10 minutes from the station. For metro connections, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Jangpura and Khan Market stations are on the Violet Line, while Supreme Court is on the Blue Line; short-trip autorickshaws are available from these stations.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah Bus Stop is approximately a five-minute walk from the park. Bus routes include 40, 101, 181, 323, 402–405A, 409–411, 421, 429, 436, 438, 447, 453–459, 893, 894, 966, 044 and 055.

Sunder Nursery has almost 300 tree species, including some that are the only specimens of their species in India. Water features, ponds and lakes sit alongside flower displays, rose gardens, orchards, bird habitats and walking trails.

The named gardens include Azim Bagh, Garden of Delight, Gulistan, Canna Garden, Flower Valley, Lotus Garden, Herb Garden and Secret Garden. You can make time for these garden areas and their mix of plants and water features.

A World Heritage Sites route includes Mirza Muzaffar Hussain’s Mausoleum, 16th-century Chota Batashewala, Mughal Mausoleum, Sunderwala Mahal, Sunder Burj and Lakkarwala Burj. The Scenic Walk Route takes in Mirza Muzaffar Hussain Mausoleum and its garden, Garden Pavilion, archaeological remains, a historic well, Flower Valley and the 17th-century Lotus Pond.

Monument access has a few practical limits: most monuments have level or ramped access, but their plinths have steps at the entrances. The gardens are largely flat, with concrete paths in most places. Photography is prohibited inside monuments, on monument platforms, in flower beds and inside water bodies.

Allow at least two hours for a visit. That gives you a clear starting point for planning a walk through the gardens and heritage areas without treating the park as a quick stop.

If you are pairing the visit with Humayun’s Tomb, plan the two sites as separate stops: Sunder Nursery has its own gardens, trails and monuments, while the tomb complex is directly opposite. You can also include other local landmarks in a broader Nizamuddin itinerary, such as how to visit Indraprastha Park.

Two toilet blocks are near Batashewala Entry Plaza and Azim Bagh, and both have wheelchair-accommodating cubicles for visitors with disabilities. Three parking spaces at Batashewala Entry Plaza are reserved for visitors with disabilities.

Manually operated wheelchairs are available free at the entrance counter without advance booking. You will need to leave an original photo ID document as a deposit. Automatic and manually operated wheelchairs are permitted, but mobility scooters and segways cannot be used in the park.

You may bring a picnic if you take your trash with you. Pets are allowed on a leash, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them.

The Children’s Playhouse is for children aged 2–12 and opens daily from 10am to 6pm, with last entry at 5:30pm; children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Entry is free except from 4:30pm to 5:30pm on weekdays and all day on weekends and gazetted holidays, when a Rs. 20 ticket is required.

For a Delhi visit, a four-star hotel in New Delhi offers accommodation in the city.
