Description
Art, nature and history all combine for an epic discovery of Delhi. See impressive street art in a hidden alley, explore a sprawling archaeological park and get lost in a beautiful heritage park.
This fun-filled tour of Delhi is focused on exploring the unexplored and discovering the city’s hidden gems with a local expert guide by your side. After meeting your guide, you’ll head by air-conditioned car towards the southern part of Delhi. Your first stop is Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which dates to the 12th-century. The sprawling area is spread over 200-acres and consists of over 100 historically significant monuments. Overlooked by most of the tourist hordes, this park preserves some of the most historic relics of Delhi.
After exploring this beautiful park, visit a hidden alley which offers a vibrant blend of cool cafes, art, and culture. Stop for a cup of coffee and a snack at a café with a sustainable approach and learn about the changing culture of Delhi. Then head into Jugaad, which is the nerve centre of the charitable organization, Karm Marg. The aim here is to empower vulnerable young adults with livelihood skills. At Jugaad, young adult trainees, alumni of Karm Marg, and rural women from surrounding areas work together to create unique bags, wallets, stationery and more using discarded and waste materials. While at the shop you can pick out a souvenir, which is included in the cost of the tour.
Next, head towards the most artistic district of India, the Lodhi Art District, which is India’s first open-air public art district. This initiative was begun by the St+art India Foundation, a non-profit organization working to make art accessible to a wider audience. You’ll have time to walk around the narrow, art-filled lanes snapping photos to fill your Instagram feed. The last (but certainly not least) stop is Sunder Nursery, a 16th-century heritage park complex perfect for taking a refreshing break in nature. After exploring Sunder Nursery, you will be driven back to the city.
