The area
Address
Neighborhood: Hauz Khas Village
Known as ‘The National Capital of Ethnic Chic’, the hip and trendy Hauz Khas Village
is a beautiful urban village nestled in a corner among the ruins of domed tombs
of Muslim royalty from the 14th to 16th centuries, that merge into the modern day
Deer Park. Old homes here have been converted into fashion boutiques & chic
homestays, art galleries, jewellery shops, book and antique stores, multi-cuisine
restaurants, bars and nightclubs. HKV might be full of arterial narrow lanes but it is
the epicenter of Delhi’s most vibrant social life. In the spring and winter evenings,
visitors can stroll along the lake, watch the beautiful sunset from the ruins of the
fort or sip a cocktail at one of the many rooftop bars and restaurants overlooking it.

Hauz Khas is a name that means Royal (Water) Tank, with an extant water tank from the 13th century. It developed during the Tughlaq dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. Today, it contains the ruins of a Madrassa and several Tombs of the aforementioned dynasty. Most of the ruins are in good condition, especially the Tomb of Feruz Shah. The complex is worth a visit, especially if you combine it with the trendy Hauz Khas Village.

Highly recommend❤
I visited this Hauz Khas Fort South Delhi in recently in February 2023. It is in the care of Archeological Survey of India ASI . Entry fee is Rs 25 for Indians for the fort .
The fort is majestic and covers a huge area of green land, water tank . Inside the site there is many old structures like masjids,madrasas, tombs etc but many of them are in dilapidated condition.
The site is in among those sites which the public are interested to see in the context of architecture and history.
I Suggest the ASI should take special care of this monument as well as the water tank ,there needs urgent renovation and beautification work in the fort so that the remaining part of this important monument can be preserved for future generations. . Thank you

For years we have been visiting the Hauz Khas complex, typically having lunch at our favourite restaurant and then taking a stroll through the old buildings and by the water. Earlier this year we were surprised to see that it's now no longer free entry and when we were there most recently, we stopped to see what they were charging and were shocked that foreigners now have to pay 300 rupees to go in (I think it's 25 for locals). Honestly, there are much more impressive attractions in Delhi and elsewhere that don't cost that much.
I guess that ticketing will stop it being such a hit with young courting couples who could be found cuddling in secluded corners, but it makes a visit expensive if you've not only got to pay to get out to HK village but then cough up this entry fee.
An announcement in the Times of India in Jan 2019 said the fees would be 15 rupees for locals and 200 for foreigners so they've already increased those charges in less than a year. Take care and try to find out the costs before you visit.
If I'd never been before I *might* pay once but sadly I won't bother going again. I really think that they've set the price too high for what there is to see. I would pay 100 without quibbling especially if they are really going to provide more facilities inside the park, but for now, I'm voting with my feet and going elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the only day we had to tour was Monday, but Hauz Khas was closed. There was not much to see from the gate.
