Takht-e-Babri Garden
The Takht-e-Babri Garden, located within Chakwal's Kallar Kahar region of Punjab province in Pakistan, offers a known glimpse into the past while providing scenic vistas overlooking the nearby lake. This historic site holds significance as it was here that Mughal Emperor Babur addressed his army en route to conquer Delhi back in 1519. The garden and its iconic rock-cut throne, carved from a single piece of stone, are still partially preserved today - remnants of the first Mughal orchard planted within the subcontinent.
Adjacent to the throne, this garden is part of the first Mughal orchard planted in the subcontinent. Watch out for local monkeys which can be quite bold.
The best time to visit is during March, April, October and November. These months offer the most favorable conditions for visitors.
Takht-e-Babri Garden is road accessible and can be reached by regular vehicle.

Visiting right after the Fajar prayer is highly recommended to see the landscape at its peak beauty with the morning mist. The site also offers a stunning bird's-eye view of Kallar Kahar Lake during the clear daylight hours.
There are limited food facilities directly at the throne site, so bringing your own water and snacks is encouraged. However, the garden area is a popular spot for family picnics under the fruit trees.
Visitors can find parking near the Kallar Kahar Museum entrance, from where they can walk up the steep roads leading to the garden and the historic throne. The museum area includes wheelchair-accessible parking spaces.
Photography is generally permitted and encouraged for capturing the historic stone throne and the panoramic lake views. The site is a favorite for history enthusiasts and landscape photographers due to its elevated position.
