Known forheritagehidden gemmedievalruins
Stretching behind the Qutub Minar complex, this largely unvisited 200-acre park contains over 100 medieval monuments from the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal periods, including Balban's Tomb, Jamali Kamali mosque, and the Rajon ki Baoli stepwell. It's the kind of place where you can wander among 700-year-old ruins with almost no other visitors around — a rare thing in Delhi. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water as paths are uneven. Go with a knowledgeable guide or a detailed map to get the most out of it.
