Reviews Summary
Umaid Garden is appreciated for its blend of history and nature, offering a peaceful escape with peacocks and a museum. However, some visitors note issues with litter and maintenance, suggesting a need for greater public responsibility. The garden's proximity to Umaid Bhawan Palace also enhances its appeal for photography.
"It is a very good place...a blend of history and nature...but people have not maintained it...this is what happens when you let people do something for free...People come to pass time and leave behind the garbage...there was dustbin inside but there was more garbage outside than dustbin ...I felt sad seeing this...the rest...the view was good...

"Ummed Garden is a beautiful garden located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. It's known for its serene ambiance, lush greenery, and colorful flowers, making it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to relax and enjoy nature's beauty. You can also spot peacocks, which roam freely within the premises, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Additionally, the garden houses a government museum that showcases artifacts, sculptures, and historical exhibits, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. This adds another layer of interest and education to the overall experience of exploring Ummed Garden."

"The Umaid Bhawan Palace is having more than 300 rooms but they do not show us most or even half of them in our visit there. They only show 6 to 9 areas as museum and that's it all. The watches collection is the main attraction within the palace and the garden in front of the palace is the other main point of attraction. I felt like it just started a few minutes ago and it ended soon. So it was not a good experience for me personally. Though it should be visited at least once to see the palace. It looks so beautiful from outside and the garden will definitely be into your camera's shots as soon as you arrive there. There is also a vintage cars collection area beside the garden in front of the Umaid Bhawan Palace. But it is a very good place for photography so you may get good selfies or group photos here and you'll love your photos."
