The best garden I've been to. You can escape from the Delhi's rush and just sit here by the pond with the swans and chill. It has a lot of beautiful sites filled with trees, birds and gazebos. The ar (Read More)chitecture of the buildings is quite intricate. For example, Sikander Lodhi's tomb, Shisha Gumbad and Bara Gumbad. Not to mention, this place is one of the best places to test your photography skills in the natural light. You'll not regret.

My Delhi winters aren't complete without a heritage walk to Mehrauli Archaeological Park. An evening at the Nizamuddin dargah for qawali is recommended. And no, it needn't necessarily be Thursday (as (Read More) urban legend claims). For the ultimate foodies, Paranthe wali gali is a must. And if fast food is your choice of poison, make your way to Epicuria.

- Delhi - the capital city is a metro which has something for all kinds of travellers. From heritage monuments like humayun's tomb, qutub minar, jantar mantar to monuments of national importance like (Read More) parliament, Raj ghat and Lal Quila. From Chandini Chowk in old Delhi to Hauz Khas Village in New Delhi, you can spend lots of days in this city.

The shoppers' paradise in Delhi, Sarojini Market is a must visit place. From socks to gowns, the market has everything sold at throwaway prices. This is my favourite shopping destination in the city. (Read More) The products have a vast variety and there are restaurants nearby to satisfy your hunger after long hours of shopping. Don't forget to keep empty bags with you since it makes things easier to carry and visit on Mondays if possible because prices are really low that day. Also, bargain hard.

There are a lot of great restaurants, cafes, pubs and boutique stores in Hauz Khas Village, lovingly referred to as HKV by the young crowd that frequents it. Narrow lanes, musty corridors and dark co (Read More)rners abound in HKV, so I always find it better (and more exciting) to travel here with my friends. The end of the road leads into the Hauz Khas Fort, a property with aesthetic ruins, lawns, a lake, and many visitors. It is deemed as one of the best hangout spots in Delhi by college-goers and couples alike. I like to take walks here when the weather is pleasant. Coast Cafe, The Tea Room and Social are some of my favourite cafes here. HKV was once the hub of nightlife, owing to its posh crowd, discounted liquor and wild parties. However, this culture has deteriorated since the shutdown of many clubs in the vicinity. I have limited my visits to HKV to daytime now.

Safdarjung tomb is one of my favorite historical monuments and I love everything about this place, from its beautiful Mughal architecture to intricate carvings on the walls and ceilings to visually s (Read More)atisfying symmetry. This tomb is quite smaller than other Mughal structures but its calm and peaceful ambiance is what I like the most about this place. I went there in February when the weather was pleasant, we brought food with us and had a picnic of sorts in the beautiful garden of Safdarjung Tomb. I personally don?t feel comfortable with my parents here because of the couples and social stigma attached to PDA.

Lotus Temple offers a peaceful serene ambience, away from the hustle and bustle of New Delhi. We visited it in June, but the weather was not really uncomfortable as we had gone during the afternoon. (Read More)There was a long queue outside since at any point of time, only a handful of people are allowed inside. There is no idol of any particular deity, and one can just sit and meditate in the big hall. I personally liked the exterior more than the interiors, and spent more time outside the temple, admiring its splendid architecture, taking pictures, and taking a stroll in the surrounding gardens. Overall it hardly took us around two hours to explore the place, excluding travel time.

Delhi, one of the most metropolitan cities in India is undoubtedly the most iconic city that represents India. Religious monuments, great street food, street markets, lots of hustle bustle, mesmerisi (Read More)ng monuments (Humayun's Tomb, Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Akshardham Temple and Lotus Temple) and amazing nightlife are few of the things Delhi has to offer to its visitors. Also, Delhi has a good public transport system, especially in terms of the metro. It might not be comparable to some of its western counterparts, but still the infrastructure in Delhi is pretty good. I would highly recommend spending atleast 3-4 days in the city to truly experience the feeling of Delhi. And please do consider the weather of Delhi before you decide to visit. Summers are harsh and you might just not want to get out to see anything during the day. Some of the winter months have a lot of smog and visibility is quite low. So ideal time to visit would be December to March.

Located in the heart of New Delhi and connected well by metro to the rest of the NCR region, Connaught Place or CP is a landmark truly iconic to Delhi. Being my first tryst with the city of Dehi I wa (Read More)s pleasantly surprised. The people were helpful and nice. The newest fashion and food stores were located inside the age old buildings of CP- a perfect blend of new and old. From H&M to the street side vendors of Janpath, CP offers a great shopping experience for everyone along with great eateries. Offering something for everyone and any budget CP is truly a cosmopolitan area representing the spirit of the national capital.

For those living in Dwarka, reaching Connaught Place through the Airport Metro Line can be awfully convenient; the inner circle is a 10 minute walk from Shivaji Stadium Metro station. For a branded s (Read More)hopping experience and quality food chains (read: Wenger's bakery) , CP is the right place to be. You can always find some fashion jewellery vendors spread throughout. For those into hardcore thrift shopping however, walking a little distance to Janpath or taking the underground lane to Palika Bazaar can be fruitful. The former offers some great ethnic designs on bags, jewellery, and clothes in addition to the food joints. The latter has a wide variety of products at throwaway prices-you might wanna be careful though, the vendors at Palika Bazaar will aggressively persuade you into buying their products and you'll be bombarded by slogans as you walk. Bargaining is a skill to be utilized here, but a visit to CP is not just a shopping expedition, but a wholesome entertaining experience for every individual.

Delhi, the capital city of India is famous for several reasons. The city has everything within its vicinity. Food, clothes, furniture, decor, electronics- name it and you have it all! Delhi being my (Read More)home city has a special place in my heart. From high-end malls like Ambience, DLF, Promenade and Pacific, you have thrift shops like Janpath, Sarojini nagar and Central market which are as famous and crowded as the shopping malls. You can never get bored when in Delhi as the places to visit here are a lot. One can go on a city tour and explore all the monuments like Qutub minaar, Red fort, Lotus temple, Laal quila, Humayuns tomb or go on a garden spree and enjoy the beautiful greenery and flower blooms at the Garden of five senses, Mughal garden and Lodhi garden. The best way to go around Delhi is to hop on a blue 'Ho!-ho! Bus' and roam around in a day. Art and artifacts lovers have a lot to explore in Delhi as well. You can go on a visit to the National Arts Gallery or spend a day in the Dilli Haat at INA or if you are lucky enough, you can get to explore the Trade fair at Pragati Maidan, or the Surajkund crafts fair or the Dastkaari bazaar. Delhi and its lip smacking food are famous worldwide. Chole bhature, rajma chawal, gop gappe, chaat, chole kulche, kulfis and ice creams; everything served in Delhi is loved by all adults and children like. My ever favourite food to eat in Delhi is the yummy plate of rajma chawal served in Shankar Market, CP, kulfi from Roshan in Chandnichowk, yummy crispy Kachodi served in Kamla Nagar and Moolchand paranthe wala in South Delhi. Chandnichowk and Lajpat Nagar market are the two markets that suffice all your shopping as well as food cravings. Delhi has a well-established metro connectivity and you can easily go to one part of the city to the other. Besides the well-known places in Delhi, there are a handful of hidden gems which deserve a visit as well. The Tibetan Market near Majnu ka Tila has an eastern vibe going on and you can buy trendy clothes and satisfy your hunger with yummy momos and pancakes. Champa Gali, also known as the Liberty Village is located near the Saket metro station and is very lively and full of cafes and an air-conditioned thrift store. The Banglasahib Gurudwara in CP, Nizammudin Dargah and the Cathedral Church holds high significance ans are visited by people from different parts of the country. Several films like Delhi-6, Rockstar and Fukrey have been shot in the capital and you will love going to these places visited by your favourite stars all by yourself!

Lajpat Nagar is one of the most famous markets in Delhi. Easy to reach (near Lajpat Nagar Metro Station), it offers a great variety of products to the shoppers. From cosmetics to accessories to cloth (Read More)es, everything is available here at reasonable prices. There are many eateries also where you can have delicious snacks and food. The kurtis (Indian ethnic wear) are the best in Lajpat Nagar. And always bargain. They reduce prices from 500 INR to 100 INR sometimes.

I definitely could not take my eyes off the beautiful rows of flowers when I visited Mughal Garden last year. Blue, lilac, golden yellow, crimson red- Mughal Garden has flowers of all colours. I had (Read More)never been to a place so delightful and beautiful before. The sweet fragrance of flowers mingled with the cool breeze simply lifted up my mood. What I liked most was the fountain dancing to the tunes of the national anthem.The small ponds surrounding the flowers simply added to the scenic beauty. We were not allowed to carry any bags or bottles inside the garden. Also, towards the end I had some really delicious food at nominal rates of Rs.20 and Rs.30. Winters and spring are an ideal time to visit the park when the flowers are in full bloom.

What beckoned me to Humayun's Tomb was the architectural grandeur - arches and beams, gigantic pillars , ornamental balconies and chhatris. I was at once captivated by the huge hallways which made me (Read More) feel no less than a person of royal blood! I could not help but applaud the architectural acumen of the monument - the Char Bagh ( the main tomb is located in the centre and the area around it is divided into four squares which is further subdivided into four regions) . Plus, it provided me a great opportunity to learn about the history of Humayun. The entry fee for Indians is nominal-Rs. 30 per head. Also, according to me February- March is the best time for visiting this place when the temperature is moderate and the partially misty domes look aesthetically splendid.

From historical monuments to crowded shopping malls, from Mughal gardens to Delhi University campus, the capital city has multiple personalities making it 'The good, the bad and the ugly'. The Capita (Read More)l city of India and the base location to explore North India, Delhi is considered to be the city with a heart. New Delhi is a vivid blend of traditions, cultural diversity, political importance as well as architectural brilliance. It bridges its historical glory with the current modern era. It is a popular tourist spot and also houses multiple theatres and centres of performing arts. Delhi's architectural brilliance can be traced as back as 4th century AD when the Iron Pillar was built in the Mehrauli area, which hasn't shown any sign of rusting yet. The Qutub Minar, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Delhi has numerous monuments showcasing both architectural and historical magnificence. ISKCON Temple, Akshardham Temple and the Lotus temple are some other beautiful buildings here. However, Delhi's magic lies in the Chandni Chowk area near the Jama Masjid with the old bazaars bustling and chirping with thousands of visitors haggling with vendors to buy things at the cheapest rate possible. Delhi's food is equally important to describe why people keep coming back to this wonderful city. From 5 star hotels and restaurants to the Parathe Wali Gali, Delhi has an amazing food culture and if you are not used to Indian street food, you might also get to suffer from Delhi Belly, but it might be just worth it.
