Delhi Gardens and Parks

Buddha Jayanti Park

Serenity is the hallmark of this beautiful wooded park, landscaped to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of Lord Buddha’s parinirvana.  The park was originally conceived as a Japanese garden.  It has a splendid statue of Lord Buddha and a flourishing Bodhi tree, which was a sapling of the original tree of enlightenment.

National Zoological Park

It is one of the largest zoos in Asia. The open enclosures provide a view of animals in natural surroundings.  In autumn, migratory birds flock to the trees in this huge park, adding their number to the large bird count in the zoo.

Shrine Gardens
