Grab a chai and settle in at Chai Wala Cafe. It is located just a short walk from the park entrance and opens at 17:00, giving you enough time to enjoy a warm drink while the sky begins to change color. The cafe is open until 02:30 on weekdays, so you will have no trouble finding a seat.

Walk up to Hill Park. It is a 14-minute walk from the cafe area. This hilltop spot offers a bird's eye view of the city. Be aware that it is a popular picnic spot, particularly on weekends when it can get crowded with families, so arrive early to secure a good viewing spot.

Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 18:03. The golden light starting around 17:30 will cast a warm glow over the cityscape, providing the perfect backdrop for the moment.

End the evening back at Chai Wala Cafe. The crowd will have thinned slightly, and you can stay as long as you like. The cafe is open until 02:30 on weekdays, making it a comfortable place to linger and reflect on the view.
Local tip
Hill Park is notably crowded on Saturday and Sunday evenings. If you are visiting on a weekend, the -40 minute mark for chai is even more critical to beat the rush to the best spots.
