Sunder Nursery, Heritage park in New Delhi, India
Sunder Nursery is a site in New Delhi extending across roughly 90 acres (about 36 hectares) that combines walking routes, ponds, and old tomb structures. The area spreads across open lawns, tree clusters, waterways, and masonry monuments that sit among the plantings.
The garden originated in the 16th century under the name Azim Bagh as part of the grounds surrounding Humayun's Tomb. Later the site was used as a tree nursery before being restored as a public space in the 2010s.
The grounds take their name from Sunder Burj, an octagonal tomb from the Mughal period that stands among the trees today. Visitors see the connection between garden design and old architecture as they walk on paths between historical structures and planted areas.
Many paths are paved and allow walking even in warm weather, with shade under trees often nearby. Entry tickets can be bought on site, and information boards help with orientation inside the grounds.
The location houses the first collection of native tree species in Delhi arranged by scientific criteria. More than 80 bird species are regularly observed here, including migrant birds that find shelter in the ponds and woodland.
