A covered garden path in Buddha Jayanti Park, photographed in an earlier season. Current maintenance and access may differ.

Talkatora Garden

Talkatora Garden is a free garden break near the President’s Estate, with terraced greenery and seasonal planting beside the separate indoor stadium. Families can use it for a short walk and a change of pace between indoor visits. The garden’s name is a useful clue to its landscape: a tank and a bowl-shaped setting, rather than an admission ticket to the sports complex.

Chanakyapuri & Teen Murti

Nehru Park

Nehru Park is a spacious Chanakyapuri garden for an unhurried walk, a permitted lawn pause and looking closely at trees. Its value for families is the flexibility to keep the outing short; concerts and organised activities require their own current calendar.
