Aram Bagh (Ram Bagh)
आराम बाग़
India's oldest surviving Mughal garden, laid out in 1528 by the founding emperor Babur. It is an early example of the charbagh layout.
Aram Bagh, meaning “resting garden,” was built by Babur on the banks of the Yamuna, modeled on Central Asian and Persian gardens. Water channels, terraces and pavilions divide the grounds. After Babur died, his remains were temporarily kept here. The garden still has its riverside pavilions and stepped water channels, and it is peaceful. Foreign visitor tickets cost about 250 rupees. It is on the east bank, about 1 km north of Chini Ka Rauza, and can be combined with Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb and Mehtab Bagh for a half-day tour of the east bank.
