Top 10 Best Gardens Of India
The best gardens of India are spread across the length and breath of the country.

We have the Lloyd Botanical Garden in the mountains of Darjeeling and the plains in Chandigarh nestle the lovely Pinjore Gardens.
Most of the Indian gardens owe their splendour to the Kings of India. The monarchs of the Princely states were the connoisseurs of the best gardens of India. For example, Shalimar garden, named first among the best gardens of India was a patronised by King Hari Singh of Kashmir. The Mughals also had an excellent taste for plants, especially flowering plants.
