    This is a place Delhi-ites go to relax and escape the craziness of the city. The gardens and buildings have been beautifully restored and are a pleasure to walk around but what I loved most was seeing local people out enjoying themselves. We visited on a Saturday and the park was full of people having picnics, playing bingo, taking selfies, playing frisbee. It was great to see another side of Delhi. It is very near the Lodhi Gardens and Humayan’s Tomb and the three together make for a great day.

    Cafes restaurants shopping monastery - all in one place! Its a good market to spend a whole day trying out new traditional cuisines viz Tibetan salty tea..laphing. fine dining restaurants and tiny street food outlets all make this place worth visiting! Korean products can be seen on shops and Dalai Lama hangouts catch your eye every few steps..
    The metro station near by is Vidhan sabha.
    A place that that signifies how Delhi envelopes different cultures- people warmly!

    Bang in the heart of Lutyens’s New Delhi stands a medieval step-well, one of Delhi’s few surviving step-wells (and most ornate too). The Agrasen ki Baoli, or Ugrasen ki Baoli, references a King Agrasen/Ugrasen, of the Sisodia clan, who is regarded as the forefather of the Agrawal community. Agrasen/Ugrasen is believed to have built this baoli, which (given that Agrasen/Ugrasen ruled some 5,000 years ago) seems hard to believe. The baoli’s architecture, in fact, is more distinctly Lodhi in style.

    The steps here number just over a hundred, and descend three levels to get down to the water (which is stagnant and filthy). On either side, similar to other step-wells such as Rajon ki Baoli, there are rows of arched cells. Just above the baoli, off to one side, is a mosque with arches and medallions of incised plaster.

    No entry fee is required to enter. Try to visit on a weekday, when it’s less crowded, or if on a weekend, well before noon. Later in the day, because of the baoli’s popularity with cinema lovers (scenes from a couple of Hindi films, PK and Sultan, have been filmed here), it gets quite busy.

    This is a small Haveli in a small crowded street of Chandni Chowk In Old Delhi. It was here that Mirza Ghalib spent last nine years of his life. The visit takes you back 150 years in history and brings in mind the images when Ghalib would have lived here. Sheer delight. The place has now been converted into a small museum of sort where things related to Ghalib are kept and his poetry is written. I had visited Chandni Chowk so many times earlier but was not aware of this historical jewel in one of the alleys. Quite clean and calm, must visit if you love Ghalib and his poetry.

Vidhi is so nice & professional :) it’s the second year I come back in Agonda beach (Goa) to see Vidhi and have the opportunity to do a new Chakra Healing (fantastic experience! :) as well as an ernegetical massage (a mix of Ayurvedic, Reiki & Thaï techniques) very relaxing! Vidhi is also offering great Hatha yoga courses on the beautiful beach of Agonda at sunrise time :)

    Wonderful experience. Preeti is a great teacher who is a fantastic cook. We did the vegetarian class. I learnt a lot about spices and the basic steps of Indian dishes. The food we cooked was amazing.
    Preeti and her husband welcome you into their house. It’s so great to eat with the family after the cooking was done.

    Done 2 mysteries here: Abduction and LockOut.

    Both the challenges were very interesting and challenging to do in 1 hour (was not able to do both 🥹).

    The staff is also very helpful and friendly.

    I can definitely recommend it.

    Great day out exploring in a jeep! Great way to visit Monkey Temple, Patrika Gate and a glad we didn't miss the night time view of the city - fabulous and Ankit supplied us with a commentary as we went. Recommended a chilled and relaxed way to explore.

    We had a very good experience with Rinku singh during our 7 day trip in shimla,kullu,manali. He was always discreet, friendly, helpful and always on time. His car was always clean and had extra leg space in the back for a relaxed traveling experience. He called every accomodation. Rinku singh always wanted to offer the best service for us and to make our trip as safe and comfortable as it could be. We felt very good with his calm and concentraded driving skills - especially in the loud and full indian cities.

    We highly recommend his service and would always book with him again.

    We loved our experience in the Namaste India session. Kaustav made us feel very comfortable, including my husband who was actually quite nervous. Kaustav clearly loved dance and he talked us through the meaning of the dances as well. We learnt 3 dances and had a recording of each one on my phone for the memories! Thank you Kaustav!

    What struck me the most about The Carpet Cellar was the variety and choice that was available in one place.
    And they have some exquisite pieces that will stay in your mind long after..

    But the most amazing part of our experience was surely our meeting and interaction with Mudita.. not only is she so knowledgeable and well versed in this field, she also seemed to understand very easily and quickly exactly what we wanted and guided us accordingly..
    I would definitely recommend The Carpet Cellar!

    This tour was amazing! It gave us a completely different perspective of Old Delhi as Raj explained how the area functioned. It was a fascinating insight. The tour ended with a beautiful meal served in a traditional Haveli.
