Lonely Planet Review for Babur’s Gardens

Laid out by the Mughal ruler Babur in the early 16th century, and the site of his tomb, these gardens are the loveliest spot in Kabul. At 11 hectares, they are also the largest public green space in the city. Left to ruins during the war, they have been spectacularly restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC).

The garden was laid out in the classical charbagh (four garden) pattern, with a series of quartered rising terraces split by a central watercourse.
