Suraj Kund

Suraj KundThe Kund Picture

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the City of Delhi and want to visit a more rural location then Suraj Kund is just the place to see. It is situated only around 20 km from Delhi and is the back drop of country living. The stark contrast to the noisy and vibrant city, this place will fill you with fond delights of Rural India. There is a famous craft fair that takes place every February in this Village which is a great time to do some shopping. You will see a quarry and locals attending to their livestock and grazing animals all around. It is quite a nice place to take a day trip or even to stay in over night.

Lodhi Garden

Lodhi Garden

The Lodhi Garden is a wonderful example of of romantic gardens. It is a place for all the modern day Lovers to meet and take a stroll. It was built in the the Sayyid and Lodi Dynasties and was created as a place for burial and remembrance in the 15th and Sixteenth centuries. Under British Rule it was taken over by Lady Willingdon Park but after Indian Independence it was redesigned for public use and has been admired by many visitors since then, both foreign and domestic as a place of splendor. You will encounter a number of tombs on site which are fascinating to visit.
