Temperatures have dipped in the national capital, forcing schools and colleges to shut down. But that does not mean you have to stay inside covered in layers of clothing. It's time to step out and enjoy the Dilliwala winter. And if you need help with how to do it, here are five ideas.
Go On A History Trail
The Red Fort, Qutab Minar, and several lesser-known monuments like Jamali Kamali and Tughlakabad Fort all see an increase in tourist footfall during winters. For it's not possible to explore these monuments with the sun blazing on top of you. Winters allow you to go around every nook and corner of these monuments without draining your energy.
Walk Around Chandni Chowk On Foot
In winter, Chandni Chowk in New Delhi becomes an absolute haven for food lovers. Be it Khemchand's Daulat Ki Chaat, Nand Di Hatti's Chhole Bhature or Shyam Sweets' Nagori Halwa&ndashall are an absolute delight to relish during the winters. Not only these, but you can also explore the historic kuchas and mohallas of Chandni Chowk and even shop for various stuff, including pocket-friendly showpieces, dry fruits, and spices.
Go On A Picnic
Delhi is home to many parks that offer the perfect picnic spot during winter, including the Lodi Garden, Sunder Nursery, Aravalli Biodiversity Park, and Deer Park (Hauz Khas). Just grab a mat, some snacks, and an exciting book. Lying under the sun, with its warmth stroking your body, is the best feeling you could get in the winter.
Check Out The Local Markets
The days of shopping malls are over. Get out there, practise your haggling, and explore the neighbourhood markets. Spend a day exploring the lanes of Janpath, Sarojini Nagar, and Lajpat Nagar instead of shopping at malls to find inexpensive fashion choices and unique accessories.
Attend Festivals And Events
During winter, Delhi experiences an increase in music events, food festivals, concerts, and other activities. These are a good weekend alternative to the usual Saturday night pub crawl or movie marathon. Visit these festivals for delicious food, enjoyable music, and flea market shopping. Take in the atmosphere, relax, and chill out. Check here for more information.
