Three Distinctive Places to Visit in Delhi Beyond the Major Tourist Attractions

Delhi, the national capital of India, is a treasure trove of history waiting to be unravelled. Every time you visit this metropolis, you cannot help but get blown away with the historical, traditional and cultural lures Delhi has in its cusp. Apart from its widely acclaimed attractions like Qutub Minar, Red Fort and India Gate, there are many places which are less thronged, but are of great historical or cultural significance. Here are a few of them that tourists boarding flights for Delhi should pay a visit to.

Mirza Ghalib ki Haweli

Once home to the great Urdu and Persian poet Mirza Ghalib, the building dons a magnificent architecture and beauty of the old world era! It is located near Chandni Chowk and conserves some of his belongings including some hand written poems and photographs of him. It has been renovated by using Lakhori bricks and sandstone & wooden gate to give it the original-looking touch. Not to mention, tourists visiting this gorgeous place will get the peep into the life and works of a great Indian poet and at the same time, a close look at rich past of Delhi.

Begumpur Mosque

Looking similar to its counterpart Jama Maszid, Begumpur Mosque is testimony to architectural brilliance of Mughal kings in Delhi. Located in Begumpur Village near Hauj Khas Metro Station, this fascinating edifice has a huge courtyard, second only to Jama Masjid in Delhi. The architecture is impressive and has some elements of Timurid architecture. From the roof of the structure, sweeping views of Bijay Mandal and the green Hauj Khas village will be a mesmeric treat for eyes, making your visit well worth the cost of travel tickets and holiday packages.   

Aravali Biodiversity Park

Lending a unique geographic character to Delhi, this beautiful park is a big hit with flora & fauna lovers grabbing tickets on flights landing in the Indian capital. The park spreads over a large area and features superbly green trails, a serene atmosphere and opportunity for bird watching. The entrance gate is in Vasant Vihar.
