Humayun's Tomb

Start with Isa Khan’s Tomb

Visiting the earlier octagonal tomb first creates a useful architectural introduction before the grand mausoleum.

Morning suits the main façade

Soft early light works beautifully across the red sandstone and usually comes with cooler garden paths.

Walk the full charbagh

Allow time to move beyond the central platform; distant garden axes reveal the intended symmetry far better.

Remember it is a mausoleum

Keep voices measured and treat interior grave chambers with the same respect you would offer any burial place.

Ask for the step-free route

Much of the garden is accessible, though reaching elevated historic platforms may still involve steps.

Consider Sunder Nursery next

The neighbouring heritage park makes an excellent continuation, but together they deserve most of a half day.
