The Journey
Mehrauli Archaeological Park & Jamali Kamali Mosque
Step back in time at Mehrauli Archaeological Park, a sprawling complex where Delhi's past comes alive. Explore the ruins of Lal Kot, the city founded by the Tomar Rajputs in the 8th century, and delve into the architectural wonders of the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal periods. Within the park lies the Jamali Kamali Mosque, a 16th-century structure housing the tombs of Sufi saint Sheikh Jamali Kamboh and an unknown companion. Admire the intricate carvings and tranquil atmosphere, but be warned – local legends whisper of paranormal activity after dusk, adding an element of mystery to this historical site.
Metcalf Canopy
Ascend to the Metcalf Canopy, a charming 'folly' erected in the 1850s by Charles Metcalfe. This hexagonal structure, perched atop a mound, offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Built to resemble an older ruin and provide a picturesque viewpoint, the canopy is a testament to the colonial fascination with recreating historical aesthetics. It serves as a serene spot to contemplate the passage of time and enjoy the Delhi skyline.
Rajon ki Baoli
Descend into the depths of Rajon ki Baoli, a magnificent stepwell commissioned in 1506 by Daulat Khan during the reign of Sikandar Lodi. Named after the masons ('Rajon') who once resided in its chambers, this five-story baoli features intricate archways, cool passageways, and a deep well shaft. Marvel at the architectural ingenuity of this ancient water management system and soak in the tranquil ambiance. Like Jamali Kamali, Rajon ki Baoli has acquired a reputation as a haunted locale, adding a thrilling edge to its historical significance.
Know Before You Go
This walking tour includes a local, knowledgeable expert guide. It does not include meals or transportation to and from the meeting point. Be prepared to walk and explore the ruins, so wear comfortable shoes. The meeting point is at the entrance of Mehrauli Archaeological Park.
Hot Tip
Many monuments are buried and hidden. Follow the guide closely; some ruins are not easy to spot without help. If you are on a foreign passport, remember entrance tickets are much more expensive and not covered by the tour tickets. So, be sure to bring extra money.
