Calling all wanderlust souls! Neetu here, sharing my whirlwind adventure through the heart of India – Delhi. In just 48 hours, my friends and I embarked on a journey bursting with historical monuments, serene gardens, bustling markets, and even the electrifying nightlife of this dynamic city. Buckle up as I unfold our enchanting tale and equip you with tips for your own Delhi sojourn!
Day 1: A Journey Through Time and Blooms:
Our adventure began in style aboard the Vande Bharat Express, shattering stereotypes of Indian railways with its seamless comfort. Arriving refreshed, we kicked off Day 1 with a majestic encounter at Humayun’s Tomb, a Mughal architectural marvel. Choosing the Delhi Metro, we savored the local vibe while walking from Jor Bagh station, reaching the tomb for a mere 70 rupees (Indian citizens).
As we wandered through this historical gem, intricate details whispered tales of the past. Remember, weekdays offer a calmer experience to truly soak it in. For a delightful contrast, Sundar Nursery lay just opposite, bursting with vibrant blooms. Every corner begged to be captured, making it an Instagrammer’s paradise. Indulge in a romantic escape at the lakeside cafe, although be prepared for slightly higher prices.
Day 2: Unveiling Delhi’s Beating Heart:
Day 2 pulsated with the rhythm of Connaught Place, accessible via the bustling Rajiv Chowk Metro Station. Foodies, rejoice! Jain Chawal awaits with budget-friendly delights. Unleash your inner fashionista at Janpath market, a haven for affordable high-street finds.
As dusk cloaked the city, we embraced Delhi’s electrifying nightlife. Clubs like Key Club and BW Club in Nehru Place throbbed with energy, offering an unforgettable way to end the day.
