Timeline
17:00
Sip chai at Aap ki Pasand. This tea shop in an old colonial building is a short walk from the gate and offers a calm start before the evening rush.
17:30
Walk up to Delhi Gate. Position yourself at the southern entrance to Old Delhi. The gate faces roughly north, so the setting sun will be to your side and slightly behind as it dips toward the WSW.
17:45
Watch the sunset from the viewing spot at Delhi Gate. The light fades quickly here, so enjoy the golden hour transition.
18:15
Dinner at Karim's. Head down to Gali Kababian near Jama Masjid for Mughal-style meat. It is a historic spot that has been serving dishes since 1913.
Local tip
Chandni Chowk is nearby if you want to explore the crowded alleys before sunset, but keep an eye on your wallet in Meena Bazar.
Check before you go
- Karim's is under ₹200 at the original location.
- Sunset times vary by season; check the date for accurate golden light hours.
