About the place

The park was laid out on the hills south-east of Andijan in the early 1990s to honour Babur. Paths and terraces climb the slope to a statue of him, and from the top you can look across the green patchwork of the valley towards the mountains.

On the grounds is a museum on Babur and world culture, which covers his descendants in India and the reach of his legacy. A symbolic tomb recalls that Babur asked to be buried in a garden; his actual grave is in Kabul.
