Things to do in New Delhi
Unforgettable activities and experiences.
Top PickFood & DrinkChandni Chowk Food Walk
Old Delhi is the street food capital of India. A walk through the chaotic, narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk is an assault on the senses in the best way possible. You can sample the famous Paranthas at Paranthe Wali Gali, spicy Chaat at Natraj, Jalebis at Old Famous Jalebi Wala, and Mughlai delights near Jama Masjid. The food is rich, spicy, and legendary. Navigating the crowd, dodging rickshaws, and smelling the spices is all part of the authentic Delhi experience.
Top PickCultureQawwali at Nizamuddin Dargah
Every Thursday evening, the courtyard of the Nizamuddin Dargah (tomb of the Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya) comes alive with the soul-stirring sounds of Qawwali (Sufi devotional music). The Qawwals, who have been performing here for generations (like the Warsi brothers), sit in rows and sing with intense passion. The crowd, a mix of devotees and tourists, is transported into a trance-like state. The air is filled with the scent of rose petals and incense. It is a deeply spiritual and musical experience that transcends religion.
NatureSunder Nursery Picnic
Sunder Nursery is a 16th-century heritage park complex that has been beautifully restored. It is Delhi's version of Central Park. With Mughal-era monuments, water bodies, and hundreds of tree species, it is a haven for nature lovers. On weekends, it hosts an organic market. It is the perfect spot for a winter picnic, offering a clean, green, and aesthetic escape.
LeisureHauz Khas Village
Hauz Khas Village (HKV) is a unique blend of medieval history and modern hipster culture. It features the ruins of a 13th-century reservoir and madrasa. Surrounding the ruins are high-end boutiques, art galleries, and lively cafes/bars. It is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the lake and then enjoy Delhi's nightlife. The contrast between the old stone monuments and the neon lights of the clubs is striking.
