Indulge in re-visiting Delhi’s rich historical past, its first city ever, under the Tomaras which soon became the garrison of Muslim rulers from Central Asia and later a royal graveyard between the 13th to the 15th centuries. It also saw the stronghold of Britishers who added and remodeled a few structures inside this historical site. Walk through the expansive landscape of Mehrauli amidst the lush greens of one of the oldest mountains, the Aravallis. Witness the secular atmosphere of Delhi’s past at Mehrauli where the Hindu identity of a site did not cease the simultaneous or later development of Muslim identity in any manner. Celebrate the exceptional diversity of India at Mehrauli with Delhi Walks.
