Lloyd Botanical Garden Darjeeling India
The Botanical Garden in Darjeeling is named after William Lloyd who was the owner of the Lloyd's Bank during the British India days. He gave as a gift this sprawling 40 acres of area on an open hill slope for making one of the best gardens in Asia. The land was handed over to Sir Ashley Eden and the garden was established in 1878. Eden was then the secretary to the Government of Bengal.
There is a hospital Eden Sanatorium located just above the garden which is named after him. The Botanical Garden was laid out under the supervision of Sir Gorge King who was then the superintendent of the garden. It has been designed over three sections.
The upper section is where you will see the various indigenous Himalayan plantation. The garden actually started from here to study the flora of Darjeeling Himalayan region. Subsequently plants from nearby Sikkim area like rhododendrons have also been added in this section.
The Middle section is where there is a large collection of fern and conifer trees along with Alpine collections. There is also a separate greenhouse or a conservatory here that houses sections like the Cactus displaying some 150 species.
Another great attraction here is the Orchiderium that has some 2,500 orchids on display and showcasing some 50 varieties. Most of the orchids have been brought in from the Singalila National Park which is located on the way to Sandakphu and at a short distance from Tumling.

Botanical Garden Darjeeling
The lower section is full of colorful exotic plants that have been brought from various countries across the world. You will see some great plantations here like Hawthorn, Blackberry, Birch, Chestnut etc that have been imported from Europe, then Plums, Cherries, Weeping Willows etc from China and Japan, Magnolia Grandiflora, Jurrriferus Bermudiana from the U.S, Wattle and Silver Oak from Australia and New Zealand and lot more.
One of the striking of all is the Weeping Willow. It is so named because of its drooping branches and leaves that give a falling or a weeping impression. You can just keep gazing at this one for long.
Another unique thing here are the two living fossil trees that have been brought from China. You will see a tree Ginko Biloba of pre-historical time. There is a sanctuary created with old Himalayan Cherries. It's a place where you can relax and have a great peaceful time.
Darjeeling Botanical Garden
There is a Student's Section where you will find lots of Sikkim Himalayan plantation, and also a Medicinal Garden where you can see many different types of medicinal plants collected from the Eastern Himalayan Region.
There is also a Rock Garden in the Lloyd's Botanical Garden of Darjeeling.
Well As I said earlier that the entire garden area is laid out in three sections and on an open hill slope covering a large area. It's not easy to walk along the slopes that are sometimes quite steep. So wear comfortable shoes and do not carry bags or heavy stuff as you take the walk around the garden.
Timing
The Botanical Garden of Darjeeling is open from 6am to 5pm daily. It's open to all and there is no admission fee.
Location
The Botanical Gardens of Darjeeling is located just below the Eden Sanatorium (or the Saheed Durga Mall District Hospital). It is a walking distance from the taxi stand of Chowk Bazaar which is the main market center of Darjeeling at the lower level. You can approach it through the Victoria Road as well. Check out Darjeeling Map to see the location.

Lloyd Botanical Gardens - Darjeeling, West Bengal, India
I was obviously impressed by these gardens. See how many times I use the word beautiful in this video. I really need to work on my synonyms.
This place was stunning, divine, smashing, graceful, charming, pretty, heavenly, exquisite, arresting and really lovely!
A botanical garden from 1878 with a blend of raw wild beauty tamed in places and left to thrive organically in others. A delightful experience with nature. Entry fee of 20 rupees is the deal of the century. Don't miss this place if you visit Darjeeling. 47 acres of breathtaking scenery.

Lloyd Botanical Garden in Darjeeling
Lloyd botanical garden is a huge 40 acres garden situated at the center of Darjeeling town below the taxi stand. You can take the down going road from taxi stand to reach here. However, the road going to the park is narrow, dirty and filthy. The garden is open to the general public and there is no entry fee to visit this garden. The garden contains many Himalayan plants and various collection of trees from around the world. The maintainance of the garden seems to be very poor as the condition is degraded from what I had seen 20 years ago.
