Description

This fun-filled discovery tour of Delhi is focused on exploring the unexplored and discovering the city’s hidden gems with a local expert guide by your side. After meeting your guide, you’ll head by air-conditioned car towards the south part of Delhi. Our first stop is Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which dates to the 12th century. The sprawling archaeological area is spread over 200 acres in Mehrauli, Delhi, adjacent to Qutub Minar World Heritage site and the Qutub complex. It consists of over 100 historically significant monuments. Overlooked by most of the tourist hordes, this park preserves some of the most historic relics of Delhi. After exploring this beautiful park, we’ll visit a hidden alley which offers a vibrant blend of cool cafes, art, and culture. Next, we’ll drive towards the most artistic district of India, the Lodhi Art District, which is India’s first open-air public art district. This initiative was begun by the St+art India Foundation, a non-profit organization working to make art accessible to a wider audience. The once non-descript area is now filled with over 50 murals created by both local and international artists. You’ll have time to walk around the narrow, art-filled lanes snapping photos to fill your Instagram feed. The last (but certainly not least) stop on our tour is Sunder Nursery, a 16th-century heritage park complex perfect for taking a refreshing break in nature. The 90-acre complex is filled with beautifully landscaped grounds, natural water features, and restored Mughal-era monuments making for a scenic respite from the city. After exploring Sunder Nursery, we’ll drive back to the city.
