Spread across a vast expanse of breathtakingly tall Himalayan trees and exotic plants, this Botanical Garden is a phenomenal place for nature lovers. It's situated at a walking distance from the Darjeeling's Taxi Stand, downhill. By just paying an entrance fee of ₹20, you can treat yourself with some sensational natural wonders. This garden is not only about trees, but it's also about the hills. Yes, you would need to climb steep slopes inside this garden in order to reach it's multitudinous zones. If you run out of your breath, take a short break, by sitting down on one of the many benches. During my visit in the winter season, I was greeted with the sweet calls of various unknown himalayan birds and the enticing fragrance emanating from several unnamed flowering trees. There is a seperate orchidarium house, inside this garden too. I would recommend each and everyone, to pay a visit to this incredible place, while touring the beautiful hill station of Darjeeling. Recommended for everyone. 👍🏻🌳

The place is within the heart of the city..it's kind of off beat place to visit for the tourists because of the location and route. No public transport is available to go there. Interested persons have to go by walk and it's actually a long way to go at down hill to reach there. The variety of flowers and trees are great and this garden is there since British time. The place is very silent and peaceful. The place needs to be enriched with more flowers and needs to be maintained more frequently. Public rest room and direction arrows and whole map of the garden should be placed in multiple places for the visitors to have a clear idea.

Amazing place. It will give you a feeling of untouched forest. Hundreds of trees, herbs, succulents, flowers to see. Lots of birds, butterflies too. Totally uncrowded. You might not see more than a few locals. It's not a picnic place. Go there for a walk and enjoy the the terrain and the greenery. There are sign ways and benches in between. Be prepared to walk a lot uphill and downhill.

It's utterly free from people, lovely old trees, walking paths are clearly defined, yes, it does feels little lonely at first. But once you get used to it it's very soul comforting. There are plenty of guards around. So security is not an issue. However please take water and some food. The garden is huge and there are no shops within it. Not even a water dispenser. Do try to visit the conservatory and the hall where flower pots are kept. That place is awesome. The riot of color is something to see. Do have a look at the pictures.

Nice and very calm and quiet place. Huge species of Cactus, Sacculants, Orchids, Bonsai etc can be seen. Walking is little hard but those with interest in plants will really enjoy. But this time I felt very callousness of the staffs regarding maintenance of the internal roads and trees. Lots of trees are in dying condition due to lack of care.

Lloyd Botanical Garden Superb flowers & Cactus Variety

What a beautiful place is this. Amazing location. One of the best place in Darjeeling to go. Botanic garden by itself really awesome. Also the scenery around there is mind blowing. Just look around it will give you a peace of mind. Normally it’s not really a crowded place. Definitely will go back again.

A must visit for botanist and nature lovers. Depending on the time of the year many flowers are blossomed here. Lovely orchid house and do note the massive wisteria planted in 1878 when the gardens were established by Mr. Lloyd.The place is almost deserted but a giant park with beautiful gardens. Nice place to click pictures and simple relax and stroll.

The botanical garden kaun si list of Huge number of plants it was constructed in British era others we will find very old trees too. You have to take some walk down the hil and will reach botanical garden the garden is situated in hilly slope it consists of open plans and large observatory to the observer it you will find named plants of all different kind like cactus 🌵 etc.

It was relaxing with to be there with the pines. The trees gave me a nice vibes:)

Not a properly maintained botanical garden. Way to visit is also very bad. But one may visit here to see pine species and some himalyan tree species.

One cannot believe that such a clean, quiet and lovely Garden is located so close to the city. I was here in December 2014. It was not the season to visit. Just going through the tourist points displayed in hotel reception I asked the Receptionist about its location. He said a 10 minutes walk downhill from Taxi stand. I got to know that it has three entrances from different directions. This place was not in our tour itinerary, but at around 3.30 PM when we finished our day touring various spots, I just strolled down alone to the Garden. Saw no crowd there. Few people moving leisurely. I spent about 1.30 hour at the place and enjoyed my walk. The place has high forest trees with scientific names posted, trimmed gardens, glass house with lot of flowers and orchids. I saw workers collecting leaves fallen on the ground to make organic compost fertilizers. A must visit for nature lovers. However the place needs to be maintained properly so that more visitors are attracted.

Awesome

Very calm and beautiful place to come and visit. Mostly the lovebirds can be seen here minding their own business and I advice you to do so to keep the charm of this spot. This place is very strict against plastic wrapers and pet bottles. Be sure to use the dustbin provided. Flower and plant enthusiast will find this place very facinating.

Really awesome nature's beauty. However it seems the local authority is very indifferent about this, so no advertisement is there, even the entry to this garden is very simple and isolated. It's true gem to be explored.

One of the most beautiful botanical gardens I have ever seen.... different types of orchid, flower are in this garden...a must visit place for tourists in Darjeeling

Such a beautiful place. Ecstatic..Off-bit place in Darjeeling..I visited in 2022. In that time ticket price was Rs20/person . Everyone should visit and explore this botanical garden.

Nice garden, if you like raw nature. Clean and well maintained.. I mean it was better then what I expected from the price, 20 rupees. Nice orchids bloom during whole year. Big space, quite and peaceful. One of the best places in Darjeeling.

Check this out when you’re in Darjeeling. By far the quietest place around and the old magnolia is worth the visit on its own but the orchid house and conservatories are wonderful too!

Awesome place for nature lover

Wow,had grown up here by enjoying the beauty of its

Loved it

An awesome place to spend some lone time with friends or your loved ones. The scenic view opens up new avenue of thoughts, and more of a thinker in you. Along with some mind-blowing varieties of Orchids and other flowers, you'll also find fishes almost frozen in time, with subtle movements. Then you've small bridges made for little kids, who can count on their achievement of crossing one. The major attraction however comes with various cacti, which you won't forget for the rest of your life.

This is the reminiscence of colonial period. An effort made by Europeans to create physical recreation where they tried every possible way to create a garden what would be worth to buy a ticket. Never the less it is a place where you can enjoy abstract beauty of nature.

Best place i have visited in my life

Good place for research and can also be seen different species of plants

Good place.

It's really good. One can explore variety of plants .There is a cactus garden, orchid garden, and there are variety of succulent plants etc.

Not maintained. Not enough sign boards. Difficult to find gates. Not enough maps. Mossy paths. But if you enjoy nature you will enjoy this place.

Want to have a little feel of forest and clamness in darjeeling then this place is for you

Not much tourist visit this place since there is no vehicle to reach this place. The only way to reach here is walking. If you are a nature lover this is a must visit place. The green house is awesome.

Don't waste your time thinking it's going to be great only thing there is a orchid house and all flowers are Cymbediam and another glass house both are small the park is unkept.. Some how struggling to run.

Very nice place. Opens at 9 am, ticket price is 20 per person. A various kind of species of trees and plants are present. Quite big and gonna take a lot of time to cover the place.

Unfortunately, the place is not very well maintained. If you want to have a quiet time in nice weather, this is the right place. The greenhouses are not worth a visit, but a few old trees are impressive.

Lloyd's Botanical Garden is located in Darjeeling, India. It is a well-maintained botanical garden known for its diverse collection of Himalayan flora. Established in 1878, the garden is named after William Lloyd, a renowned naturalist. The garden is a peaceful retreat, featuring a variety of plants, flowers, and trees, many of which are native to the Eastern Himalayas. Visitors can stroll through the landscaped paths, enjoy the scenic beauty, and explore the rich biodiversity that the garden has to offer.

Lack of preservation noticed everywhere..Most of the trees aren't even tagged!!! Disappointed when compared with memories of my childhood here....

Nice place. Rich collection. Every plant lover should visit at least once in his or her life.

Nice viewss Clean Low budget people can also visit it

Very nice place to enjoy couple of hours.

Awesome calm place. Really enjoyed my time.. But guys do not harm that place by throwing garbage here and there.. You can alway put your garbage in the dustbin.. Thank you.. Enjoy

Awesome place to spend some time. Quiet surroundings and lots of plant varieties local to region are found. Orchid house is a must visit.

Wonderful place. Experienced Love of Mother Nature

Osm things to watch who loves nature😃

If you love nature and are keen to look and learn about trees, orchids, cactus then you need look no further than Lloyd Botanical Garden. It is difficult to cover all 64acres in a single visit but follow the signage and walk through multitudinous eco zones to see ancient trees, spot rare birds, butterflies and consider yourself lucky to be breathing in fresh air. Accessing this gem is a little difficult as you have to walk downhill quite a bit through the local town and you also have to climb back up, you won't get taxis. But so worth the difficulty. So much to see, learn and take in.

Lloyd Botanic Garden (not Botanical Garden) was established in 1878 by the Britishers in the Darjeeling Himalaya. Really it is a heaven for the botanists and nature lovers as well. Vast array of plants some of them are old and rare and considered as assets of the garden are spreading down the lane. Anyone can enjoy the beauty of plants in green house particularly orchids and others. Some living fossil plants e.g. Ginkgo biloba are well maintained in this garden. Though the garden is not popular among the tourists due to lack of proper information but students of plant sciences must reach this place to gather knowledge and charm of the beautiful plant world. Botanists may enjoy rare and historical herbarium in this garden.
