Qudsia bagh

Qudsia Bagh was originally near the river Yamuna.


At eight in the morning, when the trees are filled with barbets, green pigeons, grey hornbills, red-vented bulbuls and pied wagtails.

The garden was laid out in 1748 and has a turbulent history.

In the mutiny of 1857 Indian rebels barricaded themselves inside the Walle...d City of Delhi (to which the nearby Kashmere Gate was an entrance); the British, therefore, occupied Qudsia Bagh and made it their battery ruining the garden

Today, only three monuments remain in Qudsia Bagh: the gate, the mosque, and the baradari.

What sets Qudsia Bagh apart is its combination of Mughal and British architecture; birdlife and history—and the fact that it’s rarely crowded.

Off the beaten path, and easy to get to (take the Metro to Kashmere Gate, emerge at the Boulevard Road/Qudsia Park end, and follow the road to your right).
