Surrounded by ramparts you find this monument to Gandhi where his body was cremated. We believed it was important to get close to the memorial, so like the many Indian present we removed our footwear so that we could approach in deference. There is a place before the short tunnel where you can leave your footwear. The monument itself is a simple black marble, it’s poignant and a good place to reflect on this important historical figure. The area is peaceful and nicely landscaped, and there are marble plaques with some of the musings of Gandhi.

Having the opportunity to visit a place of such historical significance was a true privilege. The place is beautiful, a sense of calmness and serenity. It was heartwarming to see school groups there, it is so important this history is not forgotten. You can walk around the top and look down, or you can walk up close. I suggest the second option is a must, you remove you shoes and walk under a small arch way. It wasn't too busy when we went at about midday. I just hope people remember that this is a memorial site, and getting the best selfie or picture isn't the purpose.

Just be mindful if coming here, that they can close without any notice for 'official visits'.  This is what happened to me so I had to go back.  Very sombre but definitely worth a visit to pay your respects to this remarkable man.  Entrance is free.  As always expect tight security so carry as little as possible.  Very clean and well looked after.  You need to remove your shoes when entering the main crematorium memorial part where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated following his assassination. The area around is lovely, nice garden. Very peaceful. There appeared to be other parts that you can visit too but most people like me were just going to the main memorial. I suggest walking up first as you can then get a good bird's eye view from above and then go down to the memorial where Gandhi was cremated. I took a short stroll in the gardens too and then went. You don't need longer than thirty minutes. There is a place where you can purchase snacks on the other side by the parking area and restrooms too.

The lawns are well maintained with some beautiful gardens. There was no one at the Reception Area so I was not sure whether to leavemy shoes. As I walked closer to the memorial, a Security Guard approached me and told me to leave my shoes back at the Reception area. I took several pictures of the tomb that is made of black marble and has perpetual lighting. Note that along the way to the tomb are plaques with Gandhi’s memorable statements. Note: The Gandhi’s Museum and several statutes are located accross from this attraction. FREE to enter here!

This was the very first site our tour guide brought us to in Delhi. It's a memorial park built in honor of Mahatma Gandhi. The park is well kept. There's a big tomb built on the exact spot where his body was cremated. On it you'll find an inscription in Sanskrit of supposedly Gandhi's last words: HE RAM (meaning "Oh God!"). It would be good to read something about the life and works of Gandhi first before visiting this site to appreciate more the historic significance of the memorial.
