Bookmark These Upcoming Heritage Walks In Delhi

For all its climate hazards and population overgrowth, Delhi remains a charming cosmopolitan capital. If the words of Scottish-Indian historian William Dalrymple are anything to go by, Delhi could once only be compared to Rome, Cairo, or Paris for its rich heritage. With historic centres scattered throughout, Delhiites enjoy the peripatetic pleasure of heritage walks through Mughal tombs, British-era landmarks, graveyards and vibrant bazaars that bring history to life. Whether it's following the trail of the most sumptuous breakfast places in Shahjahanabad, spanning the overgrown expanse of Mehrauli Archaeological Park, or marvelling at the colonial charm of Connaught Place, each corner in Delhi tells a story; in the words of Rana Safvi, the competent Delhi historian, it's a city where the stones speak. Owing to such historical excesses, we have curated a list of top heritage walks that you can look forward to this November. Check out the list and plan an enlightening trip to archaic bits of Delhi that remain pulsating under the modern metropolis the city has turned into.
