Spring is arguably the best time to visit Delhi; to wander around the city’s vast gardens and crumbling ruins in the gentle sunshine; to spend mild evenings enjoying rooftop sundowners and al fresco dining. Here are our top tips for the best places to visit in Delhi in spring:
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and blueprint for the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb is an oasis of calm in the midst of bustling Nizamuddin in Delhi. Step within its meticulously planned grounds and feel the rush of the city fall behind you as a Mughal landscape of domed mausoleums, hand engraved halls, lawns and waterbodies unfolds this spring season in Delhi.
Wake up to breathtaking views of Humayun’s Tomb from select rooms and suites at The Oberoi, New Delhi.
Crafted out of the same red sandstone and white marble that typifies Humayun’s Tomb, Qutab Minar is an impressive tower also built during the Mughal period. Standing at 73 metres high, it is an awesome sight to see at any time of the year, but especially when glowing in the sunlight of spring in Delhi.
A scenic 40-minute drive from The Oberoi, New Delhi, will take you to the magnificent Qutub Minar.
Mehrauli Archaeological Park is one of the lesser known but best places to visit in Delhi. A sprawling complex of around 100 buildings that include tombs, mosques, a fort and a stepwell, it is believed this area was the longest to be continually inhabited in Delhi. A guided tour of Mehrauli Archaeological Park is one of the best spring activities to do in Delhi.
Take a leisurely 45-minute drive through picturesque Delhi roads to discover Mehrauli Archaeological Park.
India Gate was fashioned upon Paris’ Arc de Triomphe and is a must-see when in Delhi in spring. Designed by Edward Lutyens in the 1930s, as a tribute to the Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting on behalf of the British in World War One, India Gate is inscribed with the names of more than 70,000 ‘martyrs’ in whose memory a single flame continually burns.
In just a 10-minute drive from The Oberoi, New Delhi, you’ll find yourself at the majestic India Gate.
Measuring 60 metres long and 15 metres wide, with 108 steps leading down to a water source of only 5 metres deep, Agrasen ki Baoli stepwell used to be a central part of community life in this area. In recent years, it has featured in Bollywood movies, yet remains a hidden gem worth seeing this spring season in Delhi.
