Sunder Nursery is a heritage park spread over a landscape of 90 acre. Earlier, it was also known as Azim Bagh[1] during Mughal era. This place was used to propagate plants in the capital and also for testing species brought from other parts of our country.

Sunder Nursery mainly constitutes of three parts – a garden, a biodiversity zone and the restored monuments. In this post, my focus is to highlight on Plants and Biodiversity parts available in this beautiful nursery.

Plants conservation is a great step towards supporting Sustainability. In this nursery there are varieties of plants with their own significance. Some of the plant species in this nursery support a diverse ecosystem. It provides rich bio-habitat for microcosm, bird, butterflies and flowers.

Sunder Nursery is also a great place to enjoy the picnic with family and friends. This place is full of crowd during the months of January to March.

This is one of the key attractions for tourists in New Delhi, India and is must to visit place if you are visiting Delhi, India.

My Review on Google Maps:

Some important and helpful pointers and tips for the visitors:

1. Visit Preference: Prefer to visit early in the morning to avoid day time rush. One can also have the advantage of having delicious breakfast at Andhra Bhawan Canteen. Weekends have relatively higher footfall, so plan your visit accordingly.
2. Ticket: Ticket Price: INR 50 for Indian Adult, INR 25 for Indian Children (5-12 years), INR 200 for Foreigner.
3. Google Maps Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/pbSgBhzmpZQDJgrg6
4. Nearest Railway Station: Nizamuddin Railway Station
5. Nearest Metro Station: Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium Metro Station
6. Car Parking: Paid Car Parking is available. :white_check_mark::wheelchair_symbol:
7. Wheelchair :wheelchair: Accessibility: This nursery and the Paid Car Parking are accessible to Wheelchair :white_check_mark::wheelchair_symbol:.
8. Restroom: Well maintained restroom for Ladies and Gentleman
9. Nearby attraction: Humayun’s Tomb

Keep building a well-informed community stronger :muscle: together.

Stay Happy, Stay Healthy!

JAI HO!!!

Thank you so much for your great post about the famous Sundar Nursery… dear @Kumaarsantosh
You have captured Sundar Nursery very well…the shots are really impressive… great :+1:
Of course, the narration is also interesting…

Very interesting…
Can we see butterflies there? The doubt is because of the high pollution level.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t visit this place in the last 3 visits; even this time also, it is very far off from NIV Art Centre.

Once again thank you very much for your valuable companionship and support. Happy to accept your post for International Plant Appreciation Day…

With sincere regards

  • Shared beautiful photos of plants and surroundings to us.
  • Shared review of the nursery.
  • Shared nearest Railway station/metro station, so that LGs can travel easily.

Thank you for sharing with us.

प्रिय @ShailendraOjha,

पिछले आठ दस वर्षों में कई चक्कर लगे हैं। आप तो जानते हीं हैं, इसके अनेक कारण है और उनमें से एक सर्वोपरि है हमारी भारतीय सभ्यता के अनुरूप अतिथि देवो भव मानसिकता।

काफी दिनों से इस स्थान विशेष पर लिखने की चाह हो रही थी, फिर जब अपने प्रिय मित्र @TravellerG का चुनौती पढ़ा तो यह मुझे स्वीकार हो गया।

फिर क्या था अपनी छवियों के संग्रह की तिजोरी खोली और कुछ चुने हुए नगीने आप सबके सामने पेश कर दिए।

कई बार विषय काफ़ी समसामयिक हो जाता है और फिर लिखने में भी मजा आता है।

आपकी प्रशंसा और स्नेह का मै सदैव आभारी रहूंगा।

सही बताऊं तो आज दशकों बाद इतना कथन मैंने हिंदी में लिखा है और बेहद आनन्द की अनुभूति हुई।

हमारी हिंदी भाषा में आत्मीयता कूट कूट कर भरी है।

मैं सच्चे दिल से @ShailendraOjha आपको धन्यवाद प्रेषित करता हूं, जो आपने हिंदी में कथन शुरू किया।

Yes, in the early morning when I visited, they were there. Unfortunately, I do not have the photo in my collection to share here.

Yes, it will take your good amount of time to visit this place. Sometime you can plan for a day trip for a quality view to cover both Humayun’s tomb and Sunder Nursery. Both places are face to face at the same location.

Thank you so much for your attention and liking the post dear friend @TravellerG.

हाँ यदि पौधों का जिम्मेदार प्रबंधन हो तो भविष्य की जरूरतों से समझौता किए बगैर तत्कालीन जरूरतों को पूरा किया जा सकता है।

आपकी सहमति और विषय वस्तु के बोध के लिए @RaviSharma111, आपका हार्दिक धन्यवाद। अपना स्नेह यूँ हीं बनाकर रखें।

Hello dear friend, @Kumaarsantosh
Thanks for your kind and prompt response…:folded_hands:
I’m an unfortunate photographer… I have visited many Butterfly parks… but, I was disappointed except in Mysore - there I was fortunate, I had an excellent camera which can easily capture the butterfly with shutter speed even above 1/2,000…

Thanks for your support…

I have visited Humayun’s Tomb twice in the past four years… unfortunately, could not visit Sundar Nursery… anyway, I shall plan next time…

Thank you dear friend @TravellerG for sharing this technical tip here for all passionate photographers.

Where did you capture Butterfly through your lens in Mysore? Was it Vrindavan Garden? Or somewhere else.
