A vast green world of rare plants, long shaded avenues, and heritage trees, the Indian Botanic Garden is ideal for nature walks, photography, and slow travel. It feels like a living museum where plant collections tell stories of exploration, science, and colonial-era botanical exchange.
About this place
History & highlights
Founded in 1787 (with planning beginning in the mid-1780s), the garden was established under colonial administration to study and acclimatize plants of economic and scientific value. Over centuries, it evolved into a nationally important botanical institution, now managed by the Botanical Survey of India, preserving major plant collections and research heritage.
