Sunder Nursery aka Azim Bagh or Bagh-e-Azeem is one such heritage spot that has found a place for itself in the list of the city’s best places to visit.
Known for its sprawling green gardens, colourful flowers, peacocks and fountains, Sunder Nursery was designed by architect Lt. M Shaheer in the 16th century. The name Sunder has been taken from the Sunder Burj tomb situated in the same premises.


It has 550 metres ornamental central viewpoint beginning from the entry point of its next-door-neighbour and also a famous tourist attraction in Delhi, Humayun's Tomb. This site has been made by the Mughals and has a lovely lotus-shaped marble fountain.

Sunder Nursery is spread over an area of 90 acres, and now it boasts of 300 varieties of trees!
In addition, the lake located on the northern end of the central view with pavilions, walkways and seats is a good place to hangout, absorb the natural beauty and simply be. Sunder Nursery has an amphitheater which is perfect for hosting cultural events in the city.
