I recently explored the Mehrauli Archaeological Park alone, and it turned out to be a wonderful mix of history, peace, and discovery. Spread across a huge area right next to Qutub Minar, the park is filled with ancient monuments, tombs, and ruins that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
Walking in, I was amazed at how quiet and green the place was compared to the busy streets outside. Since I went alone, I could just wander at my own pace, taking random paths and stumbling upon old structures. From the stepwell (Rajon ki Baoli) to historic tombs like Jamali Kamali, every spot had its own charm. The carvings, arches, and weathered stones told silent stories of centuries gone by.
What I liked most was the combination of nature and history. Birds, trees, and wide open spaces made it feel more like a peaceful retreat than a typical tourist site. At some places, I was the only one around, which added a sense of calm and gave me time to sit quietly, click pictures, and just imagine how life must have been here hundreds of years ago.
The park isn’t as crowded as other monuments, so it’s perfect for a solo outing if you want both space and history. Of course, it’s good to carry water and wear comfortable shoes since there’s a lot of walking. Overall, my solo visit to Mehrauli Archaeological Park was refreshing—a hidden gem where Delhi’s history and nature meet beautifully.
