Babur Garden

Bagh-e Babur (Dari: باغ بابر) also known as Gardens of Babur, is a historic site in Chelsatun, Kabul, Afghanistan. It is located in the Sher Darwaza hillside of District 5, southwest of Shahr-e Naw, or a short distance south of Kabul Zoo and north of Chihil Sutun.The gardens of Babur has several terraced buildings, a small mosque, and plenty of walking space. Visited by up to one million locals and foreign tourists a year, it is also where the tomb of the first Mughal emperor Babur is located. The park is thought to have been developed around 1504,when Babur gave orders for the construction of an "avenue garden" in Kabul, described in some detail in his memoirs, the Baburnama. It has been re-developed by various Afghan rulers since then.

Very pleasant gardens which slope gently up and provides a bit of shade from the heat. There are a couple of drinks stands (energy drinks 😄). Entry was AFN 350 I think. Go straight up the centre and there is a mosque built by Shah Kahan and behind that the mausoleum of Babur. Both are pretty underwhelming in size: the mosque a large classroom size and the mausoleum a large living room. But don’t let that put you off. Babur started the Mughal Empire in India and was a descendant of Genghis Khan and Timur. There are two rows of little souvenir shops just inside the gates with interesting stuff

Peaceful and uneventful, the history behind the garden is perhaps more interesting than the place itself. Worth a look, but nothing really special to me except being quiet and nice to walk around.

It was good. The entry cost is reasonable, but the cameras there are too expensive. Also, there's a beautiful plaster camel statue, but it's hidden. It would make the garden more beautiful if it were uncovered. 😍

In the heart of Kabul, this Garden shines like a gemstone. Beautiful architecture, very peaceful and amazingly well kept.

A nice, green and beautiful historical place to visit and enjoy its beautiful environment around.
