Delhi has so much to offer with plenty of historical monuments, UNESCO world heritage sights, museums, parks, adventure sports, clubs, cafes, and shopping complexes. No matter how much you explore, you can never really get enough of it. 

Still, we’ve tried our best to compile a list of the 5 must-visit spots for your next time around. Be it a staycation to explore your city once more, or a short trip to “Dilwalon ki Delhi”, we think you’ll like doing all this and more. 

Tour the Hauz Khas Complex with your pals 

The first place in our travel compendium is also the most happening place in Delhi. Hauz Khas literally translates to a royal water tank, a perfect encapsulation of modernity and history, owing to its name to a large water reservoir built by the mighty Alauddin Khilji in the 14th century. 

Today, this urban village boasts more than 50 vibrant cafes, retail and jewellery stores, designer boutiques, a gorgeous-green Deer Park and Rose Garden and historical remnants of Neeli Masjid and Chor Minar built during the Khilji Dynasty. The coolest artsy graffiti adorns the walls for the most perfect Instagrammable pictures.

To visit the present times, we agree that this pandemic has worn us all out. Well, let us break some good news for you!

The nightclubs at Hauz Khas have opened again.

Even though many of us know that life is back to normal, it has been ages since we’ve danced outside again.  

Get ready to shake your worries away by immersing in EDM, Bollywood and party music in some of the best clubs in Delhi that Hauz Khas houses. 

That’s not just it. Hauz Khas has an aura of mystique and quiet – perfect for a weekend getaway or a relaxing staycation. So, whether you want to enjoy some gala time with your gang or elude from the social buzz to steal a day just for yourself, there is a beautiful space to unwind – it’s our hideout at Poshtel.

Bunk at our minimalist and soon to be launched bohemian styled rooms, savour a cup of soothing coffee with your laptop or book wellness sessions with us to escape into your inner self. 

Hop on a Yulu Bike Ride to India Gate

Riding carefree across the Delhi roads on the Yulu e-bikes is an unexplainable pleasure. These environmentally-friendly bikes are available near almost all metro stations. 

All you need to do is download the yulu app, make a refundable security deposit of 250 Rs and ride away – you don’t even need to pedal. It is super fun to loiter around with your tribe exploring the city, especially at night.

Shop an Entire Mansion at Sarojini Market 

It is impossible that you haven’t heard of this grand shopping hub. Sarojini Market is definitely every shopaholic’s paradise or, must we say, the place where you shall find, umm, everything. Bring home the most vogue merchandise, all at extremely affordable prices.

From casuals to party wear or the chic outfit donned by celebrities, Sarojini certainly offers irresistible fashion you can’t refuse. Make sure you drive a hard bargain at the market. After all, that’s what makes good shopping. Isn’t it!

Delve into the Faith of Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple

Akshardham is the place where spiritualism amalgamates with modernism. It is a living testament to India’s heritage and grandeur. 

This colossal temple counts among the most visited places in Delhi, and why not? It is dedicated to Swaminarayan, the Indian yogi who existed in the 18th century. It offers a journey into India’s deep faith and sacred culture. 

This remarkable temple holds Guinness World Records for the largest comprehensive Hindu temple in the world. The breathtaking architecture with intricate carvings is a visual treat.

Apart from the opulent temple building, Akshardham hosts multiple attractions like Narayan Sarovar: a water body, a musical fountain, Premvati Ahargruh: the vegetarian food court and souvenir books and gifts shops. 

Devour Old Delhi

Doesn’t the mere thought of giant juicy jalebis, spicy gol gappas, Daulat ki chat, chole kulche, dahi bhallas, creamy malai lassi, rabri faluda, mutton korma, rich biryanis, butter chicken (sorry, we can’t stop) give you a foodgasm?

 

Take a day off your regular diet and indulge in some lip-smacking street food at Purani Delhi. You can start exploring Old Delhi with the famous Paranthewali Galli, where some shops are as old as 1875. 

This lane has hosted dignitaries like Jayaprakash Narayan, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. This place truly encapsulates the true spirit of Delhi.
