What is special about Amrit Udyan
Amrit Udyan is situated within the grounds of Rashtrapati Bhavan and is recognized as one of India's most beautifully maintained gardens. Often described as the soul of Rashtrapati Bhavan, this lush sanctuary spans 15 acres, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
As you wander through this horticultural gem, you'll be greeted by a stunning variety of flowers, trees, and fountains. Amrit Udyan is a harmonious blend of design and natural beauty, featuring gracefully cascading terraced levels that create a picturesque landscape. Flowing water channels weave through the garden, reflecting sunlight and enhancing the atmosphere of tranquility.
The meticulously groomed lawns are perfect for barefoot strolls, while a dazzling display of thousands of roses, marigolds, and dahlias adds vibrant colors to the scenery. A standout attraction is the Bal Vatika, a specially designed children's garden that features a 225-year-old Sheesham tree and a treehouse, serving as a delightful Nature's classroom.
