The rose gardens of Delhi are a delight to the flower lover. While roses have been grown in India since time immemorial, it was the Mughals who popularised rose cultivation in India.

Enjoy rosy dreams, rosy food and some rosy love with us this Valentine’s Day!
We will visit the Mehrauli Flower Market, and Rose Gardens at Mehrauli and Chanakyapuri.
