Arjoon Roy, AB News, New Delhi: The picturesque Amrit Udyan, nestled within the grounds of Rashtrapati Bhavan, is preparing to welcome visitors from February 2 to March 30, 2025. This rejuvenating greenscape, once reserved for select guests, will be open to the public six days a week—Tuesday through Sunday—from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Notably, Mondays will be set aside for essential maintenance work.
While the opening of this beautiful garden is highly anticipated, visitors should be mindful of certain closure dates: it will not be open on February 5 due to the polling for the Delhi Legislative Assembly, on February 20 and 21 for the Visitors’ Conference at Rashtrapati Bhavan and on March 14 for Holi celebrations.
To facilitate easy access to the Udyan, entry will be through Gate No. 35 of the President’s Estate, conveniently located near the intersection of North Avenue and Rashtrapati Bhavan.
