One of the most historical gardens in Delhi, Lodhi Garden is located near Humayun’s tomb. It has tombs of Sayyid and Lodhi rulers. The garden is very well kept and still has some historical monuments that are an added attraction for tourists. There is no entry fee. The visiting hours of the place are from 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM. The nearest metro station is JLN Metro station.
Mehrauli Archaeological Park
It is situated near the Qutub Minar complex. The Mehrauli Archaeological Park encloses a series of tombs, palaces, step-wells, and ruins spanning the Sultanate, Mughal, and British periods. It has a beautiful setting and has a sheer range of historical structures. According to the locals, the monument is haunted and the visitors here are fewer.
