🌿 Humayun’s Tomb – The Mughal Garden Mausoleum of Delhi 🏛️
A precursor to the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb is a stunning example of early Mughal architecture set in a charbagh (Persian-style garden). Built in the 16th century for Emperor Humayun, the tomb’s red sandstone and white marble façade, symmetrical layout, and landscaped gardens create a serene and grand atmosphere.
Budget:
💵 Entry fee for foreign tourists: around USD 3–4
Best Time to Visit:
🍂 October to March – cooler weather and pleasant for strolling the gardens
Tips:
🕘 Go early morning to enjoy quieter grounds and softer light.
📷 The central terrace and reflecting pools offer classic photo angles.
👟 Wear comfortable shoes—there’s walking on pathways and some steps.
🌸 Combine with a walk in the surrounding heritage area for more historical context.
