    Kake Di Hatti

    Grab a large naan and a North Indian curry like Shahi Paneer. One naan is enough for two people, so it is a perfect shareable snack to fuel up before the walk.

  2. 17:01

    Fatehpuri Masjid

    Walk from the restaurant to the mosque. Stand in the western courtyard and look west. The golden light hits the 1650 structure just as the sun begins its descent toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the stone.

    Khari Baoli

    Stroll over to the spice market nearby. The air here smells of cardamom and masala. It is a great place to buy individual spices in bulk or pick up a fresh cup of masala chai to sip while the light fades.
