I don’t think anyone can prepare you for what you will see when visiting Humayun’s Tomb. The whole place is truly magnificent. As others have said ticket prices vary for foreigners and Indians. Buying tickets online can allow fast entry but if you go early in the morning there won’t be any queues. Once you enter you can be there from sunrise to sunset. There are other tombs in the same complex and all worth seeing. We went just after sunrise on a weekday. We took an Uber and it was very convenient. The place was deserted. Lots and lots of birds. Peacocks roam around freely. Woodpeckers peck the palm trees. Kingfishers sit on the edge of the shallow pools being renovated. It is clear extensive renovation is being done and ground work being laid for what is to come. We did not hire a guide. I think it’s best to read up online and then read the placards in front of each building - you are likely to learn more about the place this way. The place has sooooo much history. Sunder nursery which is a garden is also next door to but entry fees apply. We had a wonderful day out.

This massive tomb is set in a lovely series of gardens. It rises majestically on a plateau and dominates everything around it. The interior is mostly empty although you can see the grave itself, and smaller grants in other rooms. There is a charge to enter, and a parking lot is nearby. The lot fills up quickly and isn't big. I suggest an early entry and exit.

I was lucky to visit the tomb with a Anoushka Jain, the founder of reseach and heritage organization ENROUTE INDIAN HISTORY . I was amazed at her knowledge of indian history as she took us around explaining every detail right from the stones and the symbols used on the walls to the empereors and their family members that laid buried there. She answered all the questions on how the surrounding place evolved over the years to what grew in the gardens. It was truly a wonderful experience . Will be going to more heritage walks with her groups.

Predecessor to the famous Taj Mahal Humayun's Tomb is an example of Mughal garden tomb. Impressive, delightful architecture, amazing artistic details. Spend a couple of hours here strolling and enjoying the beauty of this architectural complex

Read up before you go or take a guide as you will otherwise just look. There is the main tomb but other areas as well. The architecture and detail is outstanding. A lot to see but very busy. There is a small exhibition which is very interesting if you wish to learn more. Highly recommend.

Nominal Ticketed entry for this well kept monument. Do read up on history and architecture before you head out or get guide to help explain. They open at 7am so if it’s summer time, head out right when they open to beat the rush and heat. No food allowed inside. Fantastic picture opportunities at so many locations. The architecture is still preserved well. You will get to see parrots as well. Takes around 2-3 hours to cover everything at leisure and take pictures.

A remarkable Mughal archaeological wonder in Delhi, the Humayun's Tomb is an expansive site that requires ample time for exploration. It is advisable to bring a water bottle along, as the area is vast, and you may find yourself engaged in considerable walking. Convenient parking facilities are available, and ride-sharing services like Ola and Uber can drop you off right at the gate. Entrance to this historical marvel comes at a modest fee of Rs. 40 for Indian visitors. The site is a photographer's delight, offering numerous picturesque angles. Upon entering, consider veering either to the right or left side of the well-maintained lawn to capture the tomb from a unique perspective. This method allows for a comprehensive view of the entire tomb, rather than a standard shot from the center. Inside the tomb lie the resting places of Emperor Humayun and his wife. The solemnity of this sacred space adds a profound historical depth to your visit. Additionally, the complex houses smaller yet exquisitely crafted tombs that are worth exploring, contributing to the overall charm of the site. Ensure you allocate sufficient time to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance embedded within this Mughal masterpiece.

Fascinating & soul stirring monument. Made more special by our ASl guide Rakesh ( Mob : +91 9873171682) who educated us about the finer nuances of Mughal architecture, the engravings of the Koran & the lotus denoting a tomb of a beloved beside. The red sand stone mamoth tomb which was the inspiration of the Taj Mahal in structure minus the minarets & the marble of course. Rakesh made the trip more than worth it's while.

A must visit in Delhi! A heritage monument very well preserved and protected. Rest rooms are neat & clean as we need to walk and spend at least an hour plus to see this imposing tomb built for King Humayun by his wife I was told.

As an American who has lived in Delhi, many of the tourist locations are overrun with people and are sometimes not enjoyable because of the crowds. This location never feels overly crowded, easy to get to and a legitimate historical property. Allocate yourself at least an hour to peruse the grounds and really get into the corners of the property. In addition to the main tomb, there are several other structures build in the 1500s. The park opens early and anytime before 9, the place is completely empty and you will beat the heat. Best of all, you will have this magnificent site to yourself and you can get unobstructed pictures.
