A 16th-century heritage park complex. During British rule, the nursery was established to grow experimental plants. Today the nursey still operates. It is an interesting mix of landscape gardens coupled with wilderness. The park is a favourite among morning and evening walkers and has special play zones for kids.
Sunder Nursery, formerly called Azim Bagh or Bagh-e-Azeem, is a 16th-century heritage park complex adjacent to the Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Delhi. Originally known as Azim Bagh and built by the Mughals in the 16th century, it lies on the Mughal-era Grand Trunk Road, and is spread over 90 acres. Future plans aim to link nearby areas to develop it into India's largest park covering 900 acres.

A tomb that stands on a square base and has sloped walls. It is crowned with a dome. It is believed to be a pre-Mughal tomb but nothing is known about its occupant.
Built of rubble masonry and devoid of plaster the ruined structures consist of three arches. The central arch is bigger than the two flanking it. The structure behind the arches is all in ruins.
The structure dates back to the 16th century and was built during the Mughal period. It is an irregular octagonal structure with four main sides containing five arches each. The oblong sides consist of a single arch.
It has a similar layout to the Sundarwala Burj but stands on a much higher elevated platform. Nothing is known about the occupant and the origin of the name.

The Delhi Zoo is a very large and sprawling park dedicated to preserving the rich biodiversity of the country. This park may be the only chance of seeing a tiger or elephant for some travellers. Be prepared to do a lot of walking.
