Things to do in New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi: The Best Architectural Buildings
New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

The stepwells of Delhi have been made famous by the Bollywood movies shot there, the most famous of which was Rang de Basanti. Hidden within the Mehrauli Archaeological Park is this gem of a stepwell that is absolutely free from crowds. One can get really cool pictures here without any photobombers. The beautiful arches on the main level are a superb backdrop for pictures with a great play of light and shadows. The ASI is doing a superb restoration work and apart from the stagnant water, one can really enjoy the architectural beauty of the place. While going into the lower levels reaching to the water seem inadvisable due to the narrow steps in the dark littered with garbage, one must climb to the upper levels for the ornamented tombs and prayer areas. The view from the upper level shows the old and new juxtaposed in Delhi.

Prior to entry of Humayun's Tomb, lies this tomb which predates Humayun's by two decades. The restoration has brought about a rather beautiful tomb, with attractive grounds. The tomb interior is quite well restored, in particular the painted dome. The surrounding wall has steps to the top, should sentry duty be your calling.
8. Tughlaqabad Fort

Tughlaqabad Fort is so under rated. You could spend a whole day here and still not see it all. Tughlaqabad is one of Delhi's ancient citadels, this one dates around 1321 or thereabouts. It includes the main Tughlaqabad Fort, the mausoleum of Ghiyasuddin across the road, and the Adilabad fort slightly further away. This is not a popular sightseeing attraction, so if you come on a weekday in the morning hours you arent likely to see too many other people around. Needless to say being Delhi, this gives rise to safety issues and we werent surprised to see an armed guard near the entrance. Fortunately there are several ASI guards inside and it's a good idea to engage one of them as an unofficial guide (negotiable but very reasonable rates), especially if its your first visit and you havent a clue where to begin because the site is really spread out and fairly densely wooded. Plenty of cute monkeys were around but they were minding their own business. I expect if you display food, they might come for a free snack! There is enough info about the antiquity of the fort so I will not go into that. I just loved the ruins, the sprawling expanse, the massive ramparts and the wonderful feeling of stepping back in time that ancient stone structures often exude. We could not spare more than 2-1/2 hrs so it was good that we had the guard to take us around the main places inside. This included two underground tunnels, a couple of towers and two deep wells. Didnt have time to see the mausoleum across the road where apparently you can also spot Nilgai. The weather was overcast with a slight chill, making it perfect for wandering around. Sturdy walking shoes are a must. I look forward to spending an entire day here, cool weather permitting, on my next visit to Delhi. This is the best of all the Delhi ancient sites I have seen. Not suitable for the disabled or anyone having difficulty with walking. If you have young children running around, do keep a sharp eye on them, there are very deep wells and hidden openings to underground passages. We came by taxi on our way to the airport. Not sure about public transport; there were plenty of auto rickshaws on the main Mehrauli Badarpur Road. Didn't see any toilets but there is enough wild growth around if you must go you know where. You can buy food and water bottles from the hawkers outside and pack your picnic.
