The Viceroy's Palace Garden





The Viceroy's Palace Garden, located in New Delhi, India is considered one of the most beautiful in the world.  It is part of the property of Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India

The garden covers 13 acres.  It was designed in the late 1920s by Edwin Lutyens.  There are beautiful ornamental fountains, walls, gazebos, flowering trees, gorgeous flowers, and shrubs.  Indians call it "God's own Heaven." 


                                               

The gardens are open to the public only two weeks out of the year, in late February and early March.  Expect security to be tight, but it is certainly well-worth the visit!

    1. Thanks, but it's an old blog. Not my main one. Something different from the life of my kids and pets. :) Glad you found it.

    1. I have a lot of students who travel to India to visit their families. Maybe I should tell them about this.
