What travelers are saying
- Phil CTorquay, UK122 contributionsWOW, what a wonderful temple, we had a thoroughly awe inspiring visit, had a great conversation with a lovely lady who was very informative, found the whole experience very humbling.

- TandTSwitzerlandZurich, Switzerland1,240 contributionsThe India Gate has a large area with nice gardens. The gate itself is a nice sight with some historical interest. Worth a visit.Written March 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Crus0eRNew Delhi, India101 contributionsGreat visit. Beautiful structures that are over400 years old and nicely laid out. It’s a big venue so allow a couple of hours to walk around. Cute bazaar at the entrance. A few places to eat, drink (some older guide books say not). I went on a weekday so had some space which was great for taking it all in. Well worth it.Written March 8, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mingfatsaiGrand Island, NE4,760 contributionsVisitors can gaze down from the surrounding wall at Gandhi's cremation memorial but if you wish to walk inside to see it up close, you'll need to pay. It would be nice for people to be able to pass inside for free to pay their respects to this great man, but such is not the case. And as impactful a human being as he was, the memorial is very simple and modest. But then again, that’s likely exactly what he would have wanted. The memorial is quiet, peaceful, and very hot.Written January 15, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Surya KatakamHyderabad, India2,440 contributionsThis 3km stretch road was earlier constructed by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. During British tenure it was known as Kingsway. It was named in the honor of George V. After Independence in 1947, the name of Kingsway was changed to Rajpath. On 8th Sep-2022 prime minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Kartavya path and then onwards Rajpath is officially called as Kartavya path.
5 Interesting Facts about Kartavya Path:

We visited twice, and the best time to go is around 9 AM when the gate opens — no visitors, no tourists, just peaceful silence. You can sit there for an hour and soak in the history. India has many stepwells, and if you visit Jaipur, you'll find an even larger one.Written March 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HeeGurugram (Gurgaon), India3 contributionsIt was the same Vibe that was like 5 years ago. The food, places, shops, stores were still the same. Loved it! A must go if you are visiting Delhi for an evening hangout with friends.Written May 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Crus0eRNew Delhi, India101 contributionsWonderfully evocative place. Less to see than at other forts but the library and the mosque are striking and the old walls too. You can feel the 500 years of history. Take a walk around the lake too (formerly part of the moat) for great views of the fort walls and bird life. Easily covered in under two hours.Written October 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- EC13091Ellicott City, MD1,783 contributionsMehrauli Archaeological Park is far less visited than other sites, you could go here in combination with Qutub Minar. There are several old sites including a step well and a mosque that’s no longer in use. We spent at most 30 minutes.Written February 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

We did the Golden Triangle Tour with a visit to Rathambore National Park and the Keoladeo Bird sanctuary. It was a pleasure to deal with Arvind Singh, the owner. He made sure that everything went seamlessly. From the time that we arrived in New Delhi until the end of the trip, there was no significant glitch. All arrangements were more than up to our expectations and the hotels were fabulous! I also cannot compliment our driver, Ajay Singh, and his helper more. They were with us the entire trip, sometimes driving overnight to meet us at the next stop, while we travelled by air. We had them the entire 10 days and they went over and above in making the experience memorable. This was a family trip which included a 3 year old toddler, so there were challenges along the way. Arjun was a magician in calming the tantrums with treats and tricks! I could not recommend Arvind and his company more highly.Written March 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoyBoseBengaluru, India377 contributionsIt's an unfinished minar but a much wider scale and circumference than qutub minar. Only one floor was completed. One can only guess by looking at it, how big it would have been. It's a massive stone structure.Written January 24, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Madhulika LNoida, India6,850 contributionsBaolis or step-wells were once common features across the more arid parts of India, including Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The basic feature of a baoli is that it consists of a series of steps leading down to the water level: as the water level recedes over time due to use or evaporation, you must climb down more steps to get to the water. Delhi has several step-wells, such as the ones at Nizamuddin and at Purana Qila; Agrasen ki Baoli, Gandhak ki Baoli (also in Mehrauli, and approachable through the Mehrauli Archaeological Park), and this one, named for stonemasons or raj.
Besides the main body of the baoli (which is surrounded on either side by shallow cells or rooms that could be used for rest), there is a pillared pavilion up above.
When we visited, the main gate was locked and we were not allowed to go in. The water in the baoli was almost up to the level of the topmost step, and looked very green and stagnant.Written December 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
