5.00We had a wonderful time exploring the beginnings of Delhi with our private guide, Jai Singh! He provided excellent information on the people who influenced the beginnings of Delhi. He provided great context in a beautiful and peaceful part of Delhi!! We did not see any other tourists, during our stroll through the park. This is an off-the-beaten-path Must Do!!!

Treasure trove of history, delighting history and mystery buffs with ruins, creepy forests and graveyards

5.00The most awesome and incredible experience in the heritage corners of Delhi. We explored a lot of ruins hidden among creepy forests and broken fort walls, and it was a quite hike with a couple of miles. Dense greenery and our excitement never allowed us to get tired. This is a treasure house of history, where the broken forts, tombs, walls call out to the visitors. The historian guide had a lot of tales of valour of the kingdoms of the past which left behind a trail of ruins to be discovered by the visitors later. .
Mr Singh was very...

5.00Mr Singh was very thorough and detailed with the historical details provided on the tour. He was willing to engage in productive debate over certain narratives, and we had a lot of fun chatting with him as we walked around the Mehrauli park. This is a must-see spot if you want to get a sense of history of Delhi as the site of several political capitals, with the Mehruali area being among the first. At the end of the tour, Mr Singh even made sure we got a rickshaw back to our destination. Note: If you are on a foreign passport, entrance tickets are much more expensive and not covered by the tour tickets.
Haunted historic ruins also a perfect escape from the bustling city

5.00A visit to the Mehrauli Archaeological Park was absolutely fascinating! The park is a treasure trove of historical sites and ancient ruins. As I explored the park, I was in awe of the rich history and architectural beauty that surrounded me. From getting the fabulous views of the majestic Qutub Minar from a distance, to the intricate carvings of the Tomb of Balban, every corner had something unique to offer. The park also offers a serene and peaceful environment, making it a perfect escape from the bustling city. If you're a history enthusiast or simply love exploring hidden gems, I highly recommend visiting Mehrauli Archaeological Park. The guide was an encyclopeia of history. You won't be disappointed!

5.00surprisingly calm and creepy jungle right behind qutub minar. No typical hustle bustle of delhi except few locals inside.....many ancient ruins are so rustic that they are simply buried under the soil and covered by thick forest
