What to do and see in National Capital Territory of Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

March 20, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

With stray monkeys, dogs and cows strolling the streets, you'll know you're in Dehli. Beyond these distractions, rich culture, fascinating history and architecture beckon. Temples and old moghul buildings cram crowded streets, best negotiated by motorized tut-tut or hired car and driver. Shopping bargains abound, particularly at Chandni Chowk, and restaurants favor vegetarians. Attractions include the towering Qutab Minar minaret, UNESCO World Heritage Site Lal Qila (Red Fort) and the vast Friday Mosque.

It’s very beautiful place,it places help to your mind cool Lodi Garden, located on Lodi Road between Safdurjung’s Tomb and Khan Market in south Delhi, covers an area of 90 acres and is dotted with beautiful monuments and tombs, belonging to the Sayyid, Lodi and Mughal dynasties.With its undulating walking paths and jogging tracks fringed with ancient trees, colorful shrubs and flowering plants, the garden’s historical past is evidence of how the city’s present encompasses within itself a rich past.

Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum

Reviewed By awesometraveller2015 - National Capital Territory of Delhi, India

The museum is actually the residence of the Ex prime minister Indira Gandhi and offers a sneak preview not only into the life and times of one of the most powerful PM's of India . Its also a rare opportunity to actually see the residence of the PM . One would tend to think that being the PM Indira Gandhi would have a grand lifestyle . The actual truth may come as a shock to you as to how simply she lived . Its an inspiration to all of us who go overboard trying to show off . The museum also houses Rajiv Gandhi related exhibits . You can see the blood splattered sari of Mrs Gandhi in which she was murdered as well as the splatters dress of Rajiv Gandhi when he was blown up . The entry is free and there is ample free parking . There is also a small souvenir shop and they have a range of very competitively priced memorabilia.There is much more to be seen and if you are in Delhi this is must visit .

Hauz Khas Village

Hauz Khas village was known in the medieval period for the amazing buildings built around a reservoir and drew a large congregation of Islamic scholars and students to the Madrasa for Islamic education. Today, some of India's most prestigious institutes are situated in the neighborhood, including the Indian Institute of Technology, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. The village itself retains its old-world charm, enhanced by well-manicured green parks planted with ornamental trees all around with walk ways, and surrounded by gentrified market and residential complexes which have sprung up around the old village. The reservoir itself has been reduced in size and well landscaped with water fountains. The village structure that existed in the medieval period was modernized in mid-1980s, projecting a quiet, upscale identity that attracts tourists from all parts of the world.

Swaminarayan Akshardham

Fantastic site to visit - unimaginable architechture, great theme show, diaorama and I max presentation. If any tourist, irresepctive of his religion or creed, has half a day to spare, this is a must see. It is one man's creation in five years totally with voluntary support. A monument which makes every indian proud!

Reviewed By Go381570 - New Delhi, India

Akshardham temple is a must visit on tour to Delhi. It is built with much grandiose on the banks of river Yamuna and is a unique experience in itself both spiritually and culturally. The breathtaking architecture and sculpture, the wonderful musical water fountain and sound and light show are a must watch for the sheer brilliance with which they have been imagined, designed and built. And, the entry to the venue is very systematically orgagnised. Overall, an amazing experience.

Mahatma Gandhi's home while in Delhi and the site of his assassination.

Reviewed By chikpick - New Delhi, India

A great place to know indian independence struggle and role of mahatma gandhi in it. Visited by many foreign touristers. The place is really well maintained and organised. It even houses a small library with reading facility and also a shop selling khadi products. Located in a beautiful garden is the place where gandhiji was shot dead. Open to public and easily accessible.It is a place worth a visit if u r in Delhi.
