Tombs and springtime blooms in Delhi’s Nizamuddin - SilverKris

"An iconic Mughal tomb-garden complex often described as a precursor to the Taj Mahal, notable for its extensive stone inlay, arabesque motifs, glazed blue tiles and a tall gilded finial atop the dome; the ‘dormitory of the Mughals’ contains more than 150 family burials and, following restoration, showcases revived interiors and landscaping that have renewed local engagement with the site’s layered history." - Geetanjali Krishna

Humayun’s Tomb is a stunning heritage site with impressive Mughal architecture. The pathways are clean, the gardens are well-kept, and the structure itself is massive and detailed. It gets crowded during peak hours, and the ticket line can be slow, but the overall experience is worth it. Good spot for photography and a calm walk. I recommend visiting early morning for the best light and fewer people.

anyone who loves history, Humayun’s Tomb is a must visit place. It’s better to book a ticket in advance so you can enter seamlessly. Personally, being someone who loves to see, touch, and feel history, this place truly took my heart. The architecture looks superb, and I stood there imagining how such a massive structure was built back in those times. Make a visit. You won’t regret it.

Built in the 16th century by Empress Bega Begum (Humayun’s widow) and designed by Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, Humayun’s Tomb holds the distinction of being India’s first garden-tomb and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monument is truly worth visiting — beautifully constructed with stunning Mughal architecture and surrounded by a peaceful complex. It’s not very crowded, especially on weekdays or early mornings, making it perfect for those who love photography. However, the monument looks even more mesmerizing during sunset, when its red sandstone glows warmly. Its design and symmetry will remind you of the Taj Mahal in Agra — in fact, it’s often considered its inspiration. If I had to give it a name, I’d call it Delhi’s Sand-Orange Taj Mahal 😂. Whether you’re a history lover or someone who enjoys capturing beautiful frames, this place definitely deserves your attention.

People say this museum offers a well-curated collection of artifacts, old photographs, maps, and models that explain the history of Humayun's Tomb and Mughal architecture. They highlight the informative displays, the clean and well-maintained space, and the reasonable price of the combo ticket that includes access to Humayun's Tomb, Sunder Nursery, and the museum. They also like the peaceful and enriching experience, and the helpful staff.

Humayun’s Tomb is one of Delhi’s most beautiful and historically significant monuments — a masterpiece of early Mughal architecture and the direct inspiration for the Taj Mahal. The red sandstone structure, elegant domes, and perfectly symmetrical gardens make it a stunning example of Mughal design. The site is peaceful, well maintained, and full of history. If you plan to visit the Taj Mahal, it’s worth seeing Humayun’s Tomb first to appreciate how the architectural style evolved. You can really see how this tomb laid the foundation for the grandeur of the Taj. A must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or photography.

Humayun’s Tomb is a beautifully preserved masterpiece of Mughal architecture. The moment you step inside, the symmetry, red sandstone walls, and peaceful gardens create a calm, royal atmosphere. The pathways are clean, the greenery is well-maintained, and the entire complex feels serene—perfect for photography and slow walks.

Photos don't do this place justice. It's much much better in real life when you see it. A masterpiece that is the precursor to the Taj. The gardens are spectacular with the water channels. Great views from the tomb first balcony overlooking Delhi. Very peaceful gardens with many ajoining tombs. Absolutely loved this place. Don't miss it. Higly recommended
