The Perfect Delhi Weekend Itinerary

Delhi is a city that rewards exploration. With 48 hours and the right plan, you can experience centuries of history, incredible food, and vibrant culture. Here's our insider itinerary.

Day 1: Heritage & Culture

Morning

Start early at **India Gate** — the iconic war memorial is beautiful in the morning light. Walk along Rajpath (now Kartavya Path) towards Rashtrapati Bhavan for a sense of New Delhi's grand colonial architecture.

Midday

Head to **Humayun's Tomb** — this Mughal masterpiece is the precursor to the Taj Mahal. The gardens are perfectly manicured, and it's less crowded than most Delhi monuments.

Afternoon

Explore the narrow lanes of **Chandni Chowk** in Old Delhi. Visit the Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques, then lose yourself in the spice market and the street food alleys. Don't miss the paranthas at Paranthe Wali Gali.

Evening

Watch the sunset from **Hauz Khas Fort** (right next to our properties!), then grab dinner at one of the village's rooftop restaurants.

Day 2: Modern Delhi & Shopping

Morning

Visit the **Lodhi Art District** — India's first open-air art gallery, featuring massive murals by international and Indian artists. Perfect for an Instagram-worthy morning walk.

Midday

Head to **Dhan Mill Compound** in Chattarpur for brunch at Cafe Dori or Botanica, followed by boutique shopping.

Afternoon

Explore **Mehrauli Archaeological Park** — a hidden gem with ruins spanning 1,000 years, right next to the Qutub Minar.

End your trip with a leisurely dinner in **Defence Colony** or **Greater Kailash**, two of South Delhi's best dining neighborhoods.
