Though most of us have heard that the capital of India is famous for its monuments and historical places like India Gate, Rashtapati Bhawan, Raj Ghat and others, a true picture of the city is way beyond that. If you want a thrilling Delhi experience, you must not miss these opportunities:
1. A gist of Old Delhi
The old Delhi was once a pride of the royals, but now the area is much loved by the ‘desi shopaholics’ and for the famous eateries of the ‘Paranthe wali gali’! The Chandni Chowk market is a rage for bridal and Indian wears and while you are here, the staple kulfi faluda and paranthes couldn’t be missed away. Besides the local fun, you must also visit the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid at Old Delhi.
2. Shopper’s Paradise
If you want to buy the most elegant Indian clothes at the cheapest prices, then the Lajpat Nagar Market and the Sarojini Market should be your pick. On the other hand, the riches and the brand conscious people usually shop at the Khan Market and Saket.
3. The Artistic View
The Crafts Museum at the Pragati Maidan exhibits more than twenty thousand Indian handicrafts that are dug out from different cultures of India. On the other hand, at the Delhi Dance Academy, you can witness the various traditional dance forms of India and even learn a move or two. Besides, you can also take a tour of the National Museum or Rail Museum to see the different facets of the Indian heritage. The Delhi Haat at INA and Pitampura is a beautifully decorated and an initiative by the government where local artisans from all over India display and sell their traditional customs and handicrafts.
4. The One stop relishing destination
The Hauz Khas Village and the nearby Garden of Five Senses are the best sites in Delhi where you can chill and plan out the rest of the journey. It is one of those few places in the city where you can enjoy the greens and taste all types of Indian and world cuisines, all under one roof! One can have a great time at the Kunzum Travel Café, where all the likeminded travellers meet and exchange travel stories and ideas.
