Delhi is a city of monumental architecture and imposing buildings. There is so much buzz around the city with travellers that as soon they land, they want to experience it all.
As much as you should visit the much obvious places in the city (because the hype around them is worth it), you should definitely go and look for the secret Delhi attractions if you have the time.
Believe us; if you do, you will add more value to your “Delhi Darshan.” To make it super easy for you people, we have assembled a list of some of the most wholesome places in the city that no one talks about.
We hope this list helps your inner explorer to unveil the magic of India’s capital.
Not even 5 minutes from Connaught Place is this spooky stepwell that’s famous for its insane real-life horror stories.
This place’s vibe is eerie and creepy, yet there is a certain oomph to this place that makes people come back for more.
What fascinates us most about this place is that the Baoli is practically at the centre of the hustle and bustle of Connaught Place, yet there is a sense of calm here.
Nothing is striking about this place, and it is practically in ruins. But if you are looking for a place where you can capture amazing pictures, we’d highly recommend it.
Champa Gali is the Diagonal Alley of Delhi, we said it!
Enough of the Harry Potter references! Let us tell you the real deal about this place.
We would describe this place as an oasis in the desert, and we aren’t even exaggerating.
You’ll have to cross a few narrow streets and cluttered lanes in a rickshaw after you land at Saket Metro Station to reach this place.
But the struggle is worth it after you reach this wonderland. That’s because this place is beautiful! Fancy mod cafes, lively vibe and amazing people, to be honest, there is no place in Delhi quite like Champa Gali in fancy mod cafes, lively vibe, and amazing people.
And, on top of that, here you will also find a thrift shop that sells cheap fancy clothes, coffee bars and even a place that sells butterbeer!
We told you this place was startling, didn’t we?
Waste to Wonder is a one-of-a-kind theme park in Delhi that features replicas of the seven Wonders of the World.
The newest addition to Delhi’s list of attractions, this park near Nizamuddin Metro Station is the perfect place to spend a lazy evening.
This place is surreal! It has a 60 ft Eiffel Tower, 20 ft Taj Mahal and many other structures made entirely from industrial waste.
Whenever you have some time to spare in Delhi, do visit this park as it is open for 12 hours a day.
Often hiding behind the shadows of the flamboyant Qutub Minar, Mehrauli Archaeological Park never gets its due credit.
Dating back to the 12th century, this park stretched over 200 acres with over 100 historical monuments and relics.
A guided historical walk around the park is the way you should see this heritage site. And when you do, we know you will thank us for even recommending it to you.
Hauz Khas Village is a unique ecosystem that one must visit at least once on their Delhi trip.
This place is the epitome of Modern Delhi that basks in the glory of its past yet has managed to keep up with the changing times.
That's because there is a massive fort in ruins and a lake here that stays hidden behind the sparkle and shines of pubs, boutiques, galleries and lounges.
It is like a time machine that switches between centuries in seconds. You don’t think that’s possible, right? Well, you will have to visit the place to experience it.
Are you a fan of illusion? Well, you can enjoy one in Delhi at Jahaz Mahal Fort.
This hidden gem is named Jahaz Mahal because the place creates an illusion of a floating ship. All thanks to a reservoir that it is surrounded with!
Located in the NorthEast of the city, this 15th century structure is a must-visit if you are in the area.
Delhi is often referred to as a melting pot of culture, “Manju Ka Tila” is one of the reasons why.
Also popular as the Mini Tibet of the city, this place houses Tibetan Refugees that followed their spiritual leader the great Dalai Lama, into exile in the country.
So, it is evident, be ready to be treated with prayer flags, vibrant colours and a vivid display of Tibetan culture.
While you are here, don’t forget to gorge on finger-licking food at the local shacks and buy spiritual books at the bookstores.
If you are a seeker of peace and serenity, there is a place in Delhi where you can unwind and bask in the glory of nature.
As jarring as it’s sound, Delhi does have a lake in its southern end that houses quite a number of birds and animals.
A part of the Asola wildlife sanctuary, this lake is an amazing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Although reaching it is a journey on its own, but the destination is totally worth the effort.
