Mains 2021 Result declared - In or Out?


Places to visit mein - obvious ones I'll skip (Humayun's tomb, hauz khas fort, exploring old Delhi, etc) Slightly less obvious ones that are all near metro stations:

  1. Feroze Shah Kotla (the ruin not the stadium) and khooni Darwaza 
  2. Bijay mandal/begumpuri masjid/lal gumbad/chor minar
  3. Mehrauli Archaeological park
  4. Coronation park (though it's quite decrepit rn but still)
  5. Bara Lao Gumbad
  6. Sanjay van forest/jahanpanah forest
  7. National museum/NGMA/Triveni kala sangam 

There's a guidebook by Lucy Peck on Delhi that is great for lesser known places/hidden gems. You can combine that with any of the good books written on Delhi to get the cultural mix with it also.
