Don't be fooled if the main (and only) gate appears to be locked. Just reach inside and pull up the bolt. It is a forgotten wonderland, overgrown, tangled weeds and vines, riot of beautiful red bougainvillea. Many of the tombstones have toppled over and are broken. There are graves dating before the Mutiny in 1857. Lots of young soldiers, with the cause of death on their gravestone - enteric fever, pleurisy. Fatalistic - the most common inscription was "Thy will be done".

A Beautiful Cemetery with beautifully carved Gravestones...whenever you go there you get only peace, calmness and truth of life...

The person at the entry said this is a private place, no public allowed inside! Deceptive listing in the maps.

Here lies a man whom friends and foes feared alike. A general at the age of 36, he was known for his vision and swordsmanship. He hated the 'natives' to the core. Died fighting while storming Delhi after the famous Delhi siege in 1857.

Nicholson Cemetery was established after the Revolt of 1857 and is named after Brigadier-General John Nicholson, who played a crucial role in containing the revolt. His grave is at the entrance and is protected by Archaeological Survey of India. #NicholsonCemetery

Terrible staff behavior with guests using abusive language and arguing. Not acceptable in any place i requests to authority please work on this ...

Hidden between the hustle bustle of Kashmere gate. Entry is next to Kashmere gate metro gate 4. Entry is restricted but you can request the guard. The place needs maintenance as too many wild plants have grown around the graves. Wear full clothes to avoid mosquitoes.

Forgotten, creepy, dusty, out of this world....paradoxically nowhere the past comes to life better than in this place. You know about the history of the Brits in India, of the 1857 mutiny. Here you are confronted with all that (is gone). But also beautiful and sad, all those stories. Recommended if you don't mind the creepy atmosphere.
