Peaceful spots in Delhi

Lodhi gardens would be a great choice..........I visited on a week day and it was very peaceful.

I too spent an hour at Lodhi Gardens in the evening and the way the birds twitter there! Good place.

Or, depending on where you are staying, the Buddha Jayanti Park (haven't been to this one for awhile, so cant be sure).

Buddha Jayanti Park ?!

Now what are you thinking you naughty boy ? And what were you doing there ?

Do they still have the smooching teenagers(Get a Room!) at Safdarjung and other monuments? No that there's anything wrong with it but they were so numerous/conspicuous that it took away a bit of the historic ambience.

Yes. BJP (not to be confused with the political party) and Nehru Park are the current hot spots for the same though.

Surely he was there to photograph the Buddha..!

Buddha Jayanti, nearby Bhagwan Mahavir Vanasthali and Nehru park are all lovely places for a picnic, quiet walk or just somewhere to sit and read, and have the advantage of all the other visitors being more interested in each other than bothering a gori!

Lodhi gardens is another favourite place of mine, though it can get busy at times, and Humayun's tomb is particularly quiet and hassle free, probably because you have to pay to get in.

Humayan's tomb really has lovely gardens doesn't it? So many nice places to sit.. so peaceful.

The lawns of Firoze Shah Kotla ruins.

After reading you guys I realize I hardly know Delhi!

The best place is Jamali Kamali Tomb near, Qutub Minar...

It's hidden gem...Even many Delhites don't know it......

The railway museum is so peaceful on weekdays. Qutb Minar too. Buy the book Delhi A City Guide for some fantastic ideas. It is one of my most treasured posessions.

Tihar Lake is also pretty peaceful with boating facility.

Akshardham Temple. Very Very peaceful.

Akshadham is always teeming with hordes of people....
