First of all Shantivan and Rajghat are two different sites of same place. So it's better to visit the all together in a same day. Timings: open from 6:30am to 6pm. Either early morning or afternoon time is best to visit here. TRY TO AVOID THE NOON TIME. Expense: No entry tickets, Free parking facility available. 1. Park your vehicle in the FREE PARKING AREA (near Rajghat Swachhata museum). 2. First take a look at SWACHHATA MUSEUM (Regarding the Swachhata mission of PM Narendra Modi)_it will take hardly 5-15min. 3. Then cross small road there to get in through RAJGHAT ENTRY (security check in will be done there) 4. KISHAN GHAT: (Samadhi of former PM Charan Singh) 5. RAJGHAT: Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi. It is well maintained one out of all the samadhi here. Also there is ample greenery with rolling space around to sit and chill in the evening. 6. BIR BHUMI: samadhi of former PM Rajib Gandhi. 7. SHAKTI STHAL: samadhi of former PM Indira Gandhi 8. on the way to Shantivan: Big pond with many birds, specially in the evening time... quite a good area to hang around. 9. SHANTIVAN: here lies the samadhi of 2 former PMs - Pt Jawaharlal Nehru and a little behind, that of Sanjay Gandhi. Overall a nice place to hang around, for half of your day. Spend a family time here and take back a good memory. *BATHROOM/WASHROOM: one at car parking space. Another on the way to Shantivan. Have a nice time.

A wonderful area in New Delhi. Recidency of the lord spirits. Raj Ghat is a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi in Delhi, India. Originally it was the name of a historic ghat of Old Delhi (Shahjahanabad). Close to it, and east of Daryaganj was Raj Ghat Gate of the walled city, opening at Raj Ghat to the west bank of the Yamuna River. Later the memorial area was also called Raj ghat. It is a black marble platform that marks the spot of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation, Antyeshti (Antim Sanskar) on 31 January 1948, a day after his assassination. It is left open to the sky while an eternal flame burns at one end. Located on Delhi's Ring Road, officially known as Mahatma Gandhi Road, a stone footpath flanked by lawns leads to the walled enclosure that houses the memorial. shantivan- Jawaharlal Nehru vijayghat- lal bahadur shahtri shaktisthal- Indira Gandhi samta sthal- jagjivan ram kishan ghat- chaudhary charansingh veer bhumi- Rajiv ganghi ekta sthal- gyani zail singh karm bhumi- Shankar dayal sharma sangharsh sthal- devi lal jannayak sthal- chardra shekhar smriti stal- indrakumar gujral sdaiva atal- atal Bihari vajpayee

This place is in accordance with its name.you will definitely find peace here as visitors are very few.lush green lawns,pedestrian,well maintained gardens,active small marshland to attract birds are things to name a few to add beauty of this serene place. A pond was under construction/renovation when i visited there beside shakti sthal where some goose can be seen. A significant number of indigenous flora and fauna are there. Among fauna common birds such as crow,parrot, mynah,yellow footed green pigeon, kingfisher,white erget, indian peafowls,house sparrows are in plenty. Various rock sculpture of modern art are placed intermittently over places here and there. A good place for refreshing morning/evening walk in nature and paying homage to our two father-daughter duo past prime ministers of India.

Shantivan, or the Forest of Peace, is the Samadhi, or cremation spot of India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. The samadi in the form of a large base covered with a lawn is located north of Raj Ghat, the Samadhi of Mahatma Gandhi. Shantivan is visited by many visiting dignitaries and heads of state who come here to pay their respects. Special prayer services are organised on the birth and death anniversaries of Nehru. Cultural programs by children also take place, since Nehru loved children and they in turn fondly called him Chacha Nehru.

Raj Ghat is really a lovely place to visit. It seems to be outside of Delhi's pollution and population. Raj Ghat is very big and soothing place. One can spend whole day sitting near the lake. And this is nature friendly where one may visit with family and friends and one may spend lonely time also. It is near Delhi Gate metro Station. I visited there twice in this rainy season. I saw the true colors of nature and its beauty. I recommend everyone should visit at least once. And there is no charge or ticket for entry.
