Akbar was a powerful emperor with a keen interest in the arts. His tomb is set in a walled garden which contains a herd of deer and tame langur monkeys. The garden is well proportioned and contains many trees. It would be better still if the the water features were operational. [See Villiers-Stuart Mughal Gardens on Sikandra]
Address - Agra, India

    In my opinion this is the best Mughal garden in India. It stand in an enormous chahar bagh with irrigation channels. It is the only garden in India where the beds are deep sunken quadrants for one to imagine what it would have looked like if planted with the right botanical specimens. The plants' upper leaves would have just reached the paths. It is easy here to understand how the irrigation system worked as holes linking the canals to the walls are visible mostly everywhere. Unfortunately I was not allowed to walk off the elevated paths. Don't miss it out. I found it more interesting than the Taj Mahal gardens and Humayun tomb gardens in Delhi!
