How To Make The Most Of A Weekend Alone In Delhi

Delhi attracts tons of tourists towards itself especially in the time of winters. There are tons of things one can do here and not get bored. Also the necessity of having a group to roam about is a dated concept. The motive to travel and learn is to travel solo without any fear. If a thing has been pending since long, or you feel like treating yourself as a king or queen for a day then you should learn to step out without another condescending discussion with your group of friends. Just pull out your shoes, take a bag with a bottle and step out to explore the whole new world laid out in front of you.

Delhi is one of the most comfortable cities to roam about. The city shares border with two major states of India – Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, from where Noida and Gurgaon are the most popular places to chill at. Be it dining, entertainment, mall culture or traditional places – Delhi NCR has umpteen options to offer. Also it is convenient to travel within the city and NCR region thanks to availability of metro and cabs within a matter of minutes. So if you want to travel alone in the capital city, you can sign up with HOHO (Hop on Hop off) Bus, which is a tourist designed bus with basic amenities, which takes on boarders from one major attraction to another within 1 or 2 days depending on the package selected. The places include monumental marvels to places to shop in Delhi. The route includes Lotus Temple, Raj Ghat, India Gate, Humayun Tomb, Red Fort, Science Museum, President House and National Gallery of Modern Art. You can immerse yourself in the divinity of Hare Rama Hare Krishna at Iskcon, pray to Lord Jesus at The Sacred Heart Church, bow your head in respect at Hazrat Khwaja Syed Nizamuddin Auliya’s dargah and feel peaceful at the Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.

After this you can shop your heart out at local markets and posh malls such as Select Citywalk that carries an array of luxury and international brands proffering latest fashions and designs. Meanwhile you can also enjoy finger-licking food at the food court or café’s in the mall that serves global and Indian cuisines to tantalize your taste buds. Additionally, the mall is located at a convenient location from where notable places are at minimum half an hour’s distance. You can enjoy a lavish dinner or a cup of coffee or maybe mugshots of beer and a peg of whisky – Delhi will serve to every dream of yours. You can also book a car for day trip to Agra which is considerably near, or splurge in the richness of paratha’s at Murthal. Similarly you can go for mountaineering expedition at Rao Tula Ram Marg or ice skating at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon after filling up your tummy at amazing cafés in Cyber Hub.


After this you can catch a play. Delhi also hosts multiple theatres that have great plays on show. Or you can catch a movie at any of the multiplexes. Check the PVR cinemas timings and book at your suited time, and voila! You have so many things to do over the weekend, and so less time. Hurry! Make memories of the city to which Mirza Ghalib referred as “this world is the body, and Delhi its soul.”
