Relaxing 2-Day Itinerary for Delhi in May 2023

  1. Day 1: Humayun's Tomb
    15 minutes (3.4 km) from India Gate

    Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a perfect place to start your relaxing trip. In the morning, enjoy serene surroundings and explore the fascinating history of the tomb. Take a stroll through the gardens and enjoy the beautiful architecture. In the afternoon, head to the nearby Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah, a popular Sufi shrine. Experience the peaceful atmosphere and listen to Qawwalis, Sufi devotional music. In the evening, end your day at Lodhi Art District and immerse yourself in Delhi's vibrant street art culture. Take a leisurely walk around the area and admire the creativity of the artists.

  2. Day 2: Lotus Temple
    30 minutes (11 km) from Humayun's Tomb

    Start your day with a visit to the Lotus Temple, a Bahá'í House of Worship known for its lotus-shaped architecture. Enjoy the peaceful environment and take a moment to meditate or reflect. In the afternoon, head to the nearby Hauz Khas Village, a trendy neighbourhood filled with cafes, boutiques and art galleries. Take a walk around the Deer Park and enjoy the scenic view of the lake. In the evening, visit the Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the tallest brick minaret in the world. Explore the ruins of the ancient complex and witness the beautiful sunset from the top of the tower.

Recommendations

Other local attractions worth considering are Jama Masjid, Red Fort and Akshardham Temple. For side trips, you can visit the Taj Mahal in Agra, which is just a few hours away from Delhi. To maximize your fun, try the street food and shop for souvenirs in Chandni Chowk. I also recommend taking a heritage walk in Old Delhi to learn about the city's rich history.
