Things to do in Delhi

Get up close with India’s wildlife

It’s easy to dismiss Delhi as a concrete jungle, but the Asola-Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary begs to differ. Seated amid the Aravalli hill range and spanning nearly 33 square kilometres, keep your eyes peeled for monkeys, vultures, jackals and storks – if you’re lucky, you might even spot a leopard. Don’t forget to take mosquito repellent and a good camera along with you.

Admire the city’s landmarks

The 42m high India Gate — a WWII memorial likened to the Arc de Triomphe — is a great place to start exploring the city’s historic attractions. After that, don’t miss Delhi landmark and Unesco World Heritage Site, Qutub Minar: the world’s tallest brick minaret, built in 1192. For a sight to marvel at, check out Humayun’s Tomb, built by a grieving widow, this was one of the main inspirations behind the Taj Mahal and among India’s best-preserved Mughal monuments.

Pay a visit to Delhi’s temples

Delhi’s temples are nothing short of spectacular. Located in downtown Dehli, Chattarpur Temple is dedicated to the goddess Katyayani, who slayed the demon Mahishasura. Nestled in the historical Mehrauli area, this 70-acre architectural marvel is the second largest temple in India. The modern Lotus Temple is just a short drive away, and as the name suggests, is shaped like a floating lotus set amidst gardens and pools. It is the only Bahai temple of worship in all of Asia.
