Timeline
15:51
Start with a relaxed dinner at Oh! Assam. The Asian restaurant is open from 13:00 to 23:00, so you can arrive early and enjoy a meal in the calm before the evening rush. It is a short 10-minute walk from Deer Park.
16:16
Walk through Deer Park towards the temple. The park offers a gentle transition from the busy street to the temple grounds. You will pass the Tomb of Firoz Shah Tughlaq and the boating lake. This is a 51-minute walk from the anchor, but since you are coming from the nearby food spot, the path is straightforward.
17:31
Arrive at Uttara Swami Malai Temple. The granite structure of the Sree Swaminatha Swami Temple begins to glow in the late afternoon sun. The sun sets toward the WSW, so the western façade will catch the final rays. Take a moment to appreciate the Chola-style architecture before the light fades completely.
18:01
End your walk at RK Puram Sector-4 Park. It is only a 22-minute walk from the temple in the ESE direction. This community park is a quiet place to reflect on the day, with open spaces and a running track. It is a perfect, low-key finish to the evening.
Local tip
Check the route for Bus 66 to Malai Mandir if you need transport to the temple area. The park is home to deer and peacocks, so keep an eye out for them in the early evening.
