Sunder Nursery : A Paradise

The nursery was named Sunder because of the “Burj tomb” located inside the nursery.

The Sunder Nursery Heritage Park in Delhi is a good illustration of how arid terrain can be sustainably cultivated. It has beautiful gardens, water features, centuries-old structures, and a wide fauna.

In the 1940s, the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) attained the nursery and proceeded to use it for field experiments of diverse plants and tree species.

The Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) began redeveloping the area in 2007 after Mughals built it during the 16th century and the British experimented with it in the 19th.

A 90-acre biodiversity park with 20 historical monuments, 300 tree species, 100 bird species, 40 butterfly species, two touristic attractions, a bonsai enclosure, a peafowl zone, and many other features is the result of a decade of tough conservation work by the AKTC.

The park is located between the Humayun tomb on the south and Purana Qila to the north, two of the greatly important architectural wonders in New Delhi. The starry nursery is dwelling to fifteen heritage monuments safeguarded by the Archaeological Survey of India.

This rich nursery was designed by India’s top landscape architect, Mohammed Shaheer. This nursery is a perfect spot for the family to arrange picnics, celebrations, and exposure to nature. This nursery was designed to connect the entrance to Humayun’s tomb, a world heritage site, with a grand truck road.

The greenery and the creative structure of the nursery attract tourists from India and other foreign countries. The nursery has a very affordable fare, which makes it more popular and busy.
