Delightful Delhi-ites: Mogambo Khush Hua

India Gate

Dilli-chalo is the new mantra of Delhi government, with putting Delhi on the world map at par with the world class cities like New York, Tokyo, Sydney, London, and Paris and like. And their efforts towards is great task is commendable with their progress. At the rate at which the beautification projects are given their final shape, not only Delhi would be a traveler’s delight but will make life easy and enjoyable for the people here. All the four directions of Delhi are filled with surprises and to connect them together there is a better and more comfortable mode of transport i.e. Delhi-Metro which is a pride of Delhi. Also not to forget the well made Ring-Roads (outer and inner), which had been made traffic-lights free by making multiple over bridges.


Akshardham Temple

The Akshardham Temple build on the bank of river Yamuna is a builders marvel and east Delhi people pride. Spread over acres of land, it makes you forget that you are in highly congested city like Delhi. The green lush environment makes it a very peaceful yet enjoyable place ideal for picnic and to witness a marvel of human creation. You need a complete day to see this completely. Ideal time is winters or summer evenings as it has more open space and the day-time heat of summers takes away the pleasure. Also remember you are not allowed to carry mobile-phones, food, ladies-purse or any type of baggage inside the campus. It has its own in built cafeteria which has good quality food at economical prices.

Presidents's House

The heart of Delhi is the south, which is also called as the Lutyan’s Delhi which has been planned and designed by the British and boosts of lush greenery, parks, broad and clean roads, buildings like President’s house and Parliament and India-Gate. This complete package can be witnessed during the night time after nine at the India-Gate lawns where if not all but most of Delhi people love to picnic. South Delhi also has Dilli-Haat, a place where you find complete India merging into one. The ideal time to visit this place is Festivals and evenings and winter days. With so much of open space with colors and people around, it is much of my personal favorite. Must try at this place is the varied cuisine from all over India. If you are a shopping freak then very close to Dilli-Haat is Sarojani Nagar Market, but here you must watch for your wallet ‘cause the deals are very tempting, nice and up market.

Delhi Metro

The west of Delhi has its biggest park, “Japanese Park”. It is well connected with Metro, Good if you go there with family or friends. Also you can enjoy the metro ride, which is a must if you are an outsider.

Lotus Temple

Along with the all the fun places above Delhi had rich heritage culture also. Lotus-Temple, ISCKON Temple, Chattarpur-Temple Complex, Birla-Mandir, Bangla-sahib Gurudwara, Shiv-Murti on NH-8, Red-Fort, Old-Fort, Wall-City(Chandni-Chowk) Raj-Ghat, Pragati maidan etc.

Qutub Minar

And if you are planning a long trip to this city then probably you can try the nearby getaways too, like Shimla, Dharamshala(HP), Jaipur(Raj), Haridwar, Dehradoon, Nainital(uttranchal), Agra, Fatehpur Sikri (UP), KuruKshetra (haryana) etc., they are just a few hours drive from Delhi.

The best season to visit Delhi is October-November when the whole city is swinging in festive mood, with Durga-Puja, Navratras, Ganesh-Chaturthi, Dusserra, Diwali and many more adorn to the city. People this time is completely in Dill-Zen spirit
