Mehrauli in South Delhi is home to the 200-acre Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which is right next to Qutub Minar, a World Heritage Site. It is one of the lesser known sites yet full of rich historical culture. This heritage park is also one of the few sites in Delhi that continues to be inhabited in contemporary times. There are more than 100 notable historical monuments there including the ruins of Lal Kot, the oldest existing fort in Delhi which was built by Tomar Rajputs in the 11th century. It also contains architectural remnants from later periods, including those of the Khalji dynasty, the Tughlaq dynasty, the Lodhi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire, and the British Raj.
As we enter Archaeological Park, the guests will first visit Balban’s tomb a sultanate period structure situated on the western side of the Park. Then the guests will be taken to Jamali kamali mosque & tomb which belongs to a Sufi saint and listen to stories of his life. As the guests come out of Jamali Kamali, they will witness Metcalfe's folly which stands on an artificial mound close to the gate and was added by Thomas Metcalfe to the landscape of the park. Then the guests will visit Tomb of Quli khan which is known for its architectural grandeur but the most interesting fact is the changes brought around by the British gentleman Metcalfe. The guests will have a relaxed time at Rajon ki baoli & adjacent mosque, which is a three-storied step-well built during the Lodi period and we will end the tour with some beautiful stories.
