Delhi itinerary — 3 days

A popular amusement park in northwest Delhi, situated right next to the Metro Walk retail complex. Spread over 25 hectares, it features more than twenty rides ranging from thrilling roller coasters like Flip Out and the Z-Force drop tower to family carousels and refreshing water slides. It is a fantastic spot for a fun-filled family day away from city bustle, followed by an evening stroll along the artificial lake promenade.

Erected in 1321 by Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of the Tughlaq dynasty, this sprawling fortress dominates southern Delhi. Spanning over six kilometers, its cyclopean granite walls and massive sloping bastions once protected a bustling medieval city. Today, visitors can explore atmospheric ruins of palace quarters, underground tunnels, and the fortified red sandstone tomb of the sultan connected by a stone causeway.

Once an unassuming neighborhood market, bustling Khan Market is now a high-end shopping and dining hub that draws well-heeled locals with its international designer labels, upscale boutiques and jewelers. Narrow lanes are lined with chic cocktail bars and cafes, gourmet street food stalls and restaurants serving Southeast Asian fusion fare or wood-fired pizzas paired with Italian wines.

Located 7 km from New Delhi Railway Station and 3.5 km from India Gate, the National Zoological Park is situated near Purana Qila in Delhi. It is one of the best zoos in India and one of the main tourist attractions of Delhi. The park was officially opened on November 1, 1959, by Mr. Punjab Rao Deshmukh, the Minister of Agriculture of India in the first cabinet. The park was initially known as Delhi Zoo and was renamed the National Zoological Park in 1982 with the idea of becoming a model zoo for the country. Occupying a large area of 176 acres, the park is an ideal place for breeding endangered species. Considered one of the best zoos in Asia, the National Zoological Park was established in 1959 and provides habitat for around 1,500 species of animals and birds. The abundance of wildlife on display is representative of all continents, including numerous examples from Africa, Australia, and Asia. Particularly noteworthy are the zoo's numerous chimpanzees, as well as hippopotamuses, spider monkeys, zebras, hyenas, deer, jaguars, and tigers.

Safdarjung Tomb in Delhi is the last grand garden tomb of the Mughal architectural era, built in 1754 for the prime minister of the Mughal Empire. Set within a classical charbagh symmetrical garden divided by water canals, the mausoleum is built from red and buff sandstone topped by a soaring bulbous white marble dome. Its ornate plasterwork, arched pavilions, and tranquil ambiance capture late Mughal design at its most theatrical.

Established in 1949 along Janpath in central New Delhi, India's premier museum preserves over 200,000 treasures spanning 5,000 years of the subcontinent's cultural heritage.
