    Aap ki Pasand

    Grab a chai and sit in the old colonial building of Aap ki Pasand. The quiet atmosphere is a good way to settle in before the walk.

    Dr. Ambedkar National Memorial

    Walk to Dr. Ambedkar National Memorial. The open book structure catches the low sun beautifully, casting long shadows across the grounds.

  3. 17:34

    Chandni Chowk

    Head to Chandni Chowk. The twisting alleys come alive in the evening light. Pick up some Delhi-style snacks to keep you going as the light fades.

Local tip

The golden light lasts until just before sunset. If you want to see the sky change color, stay at the memorial a few minutes longer before heading to the market.
