New Delhi, India

You want to stay cool when visiting  New Delhi?

Visit Humayun’s Tomb and next to it  the Sunder Nursery with  Moghul Gardens  recently brought back to life by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.  I remember getting lost in the Tomb and Garden complex surrounding Humayun’s tomb built by his chief consort in 1569/70 and said to have been an inspiration for Shah Jahan’s Taj Mahal.   Humayun, the son of Babur,  who swept down from the valleys of Central Asia, to conquer India, was the second emperor of the Mughal Empire.

Cheers,
