So, if you are planning to treat your pet and yourself with a good day out, Nehru Park is the place to be.

Nehru Park is a large park situated in the Chanakyapuri Diplomatic Enclave of New Delhi. Named after India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, the park is spread over an area of 80 acres (320,000 m2), close to the heart of the city, and was established in 1969. Its foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, in 1965 in memory of the recently deceased Nehru.

It is today one of the city’s leading green areas, and a venue for ‘Morning Ragas and Evening Ragas Concerts, as part of the “Music in the Park” concerts organized by NDMC, New Delhi Municipal Council, SPIC MACAY music concerts and the annual ‘Bhakti Festival’. Apart from this it is a regular venue for art events, and morning yoga classes, and houses an ancient Shiv Temple. The park is one of the most famous landmarks of New Delhi and a beautiful place to hang out during a sunny winter afternoon in New Delhi. An absolute must-see for anyone visiting the city.
