With the arrival of spring, nature awakens from its winter slumber, bringing forth a vibrant display of colors and fragrances. And what better place to immerse yourself in this annual spectacle than at Amrit Udyan, the breathtaking 15-acre garden nestled at the heart of Delhi, just a stone's throw away from the iconic Rashtrapati Bhavan. From the moment you step through the gates of this floral paradise, you are transported to a world of beauty and tranquility.
Amrit Udyan, often hailed as the soul of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, is a true testament to nature's artistry. As you meander through the garden's pathways, you will be greeted by a kaleidoscope of over 150 varieties of roses, tulips, Asiatic lilies, daffodils, and countless other ornamental flowers. Each petal seems to radiate its own unique hue, blending together in a harmonious symphony of colors that is simply awe-inspiring.
But Amrit Udyan is not just a treat for the adults; it is also a wonderland for kids. The garden boasts a specially curated space for children called "Bal Vatika," where little ones can embark on a whimsical journey through the story of a 225-year-old Sheesham tree. They can climb into a charming treehouse, their imaginations taking flight as they explore the wonders of Nature's classroom. It is a place where learning and play seamlessly merge, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Beyond the enchanting blooms, Amrit Udyan offers a multitude of attractions to captivate visitors of all ages. Marvel at the artistry of Bonsai, where miniature trees are meticulously shaped and nurtured to perfection. Take a leisurely stroll through the Circular Gardens, where the air is filled with the sweet scent of diverse flora and the melodious chirping of birds.
