After weeks of rising temperatures and dry winds, Delhi finally received a refreshing spell of rain, bringing much-needed relief to residents and painting the city in hues of green and grey. The downpour has not only cooled the capital but also turned it into a scenic escape perfect for leisurely walks, cultural visits, and cozy food outings. If you're in Delhi, this is the perfect time to step out and experience the city's monsoon magic.

Best Places to Visit in Delhi During Rain

The monsoon has added an irresistible charm to Delhi’s historical and green spaces. Here are some must-visit spots during this season:

Lodhi Garden

Lodhi Garden, known for its historic tombs and sprawling lawns, becomes particularly scenic after a shower. Rainwater adds a fresh sheen to the ancient architecture, while the surrounding greenery takes on deeper hues. The garden, usually frequented by walkers and joggers, sees a rise in visitors who come simply to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and lush surroundings during this season.

India Gate & Kartavya Path

The India Gate stretch, along with Kartavya Path, is another location that becomes visually appealing post-rain. With fewer crowds, cleaner air, and a crisp breeze, the area is suitable for evening strolls or casual photography. The illuminated monument against a backdrop of cloudy skies makes for a picturesque setting.

Humayun’s Tomb

Humayun’s Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a particularly photogenic view during the monsoon. The red sandstone structure contrasts sharply with the overcast skies, and the well-maintained gardens look rejuvenated. The site attracts both history enthusiasts and visitors seeking a quiet escape amid heritage surroundings.

Sunder Nursery

Located adjacent to Humayun’s Tomb, Sunder Nursery is a lesser-known yet beautifully landscaped park that becomes tranquil during the rains. With heritage monuments, water features, and a variety of flora, the nursery offers a peaceful environment for those seeking solitude or a quiet spot to read or relax.

Rooftop Cafes in CP or Hauz Khas Village

Several rooftop cafes in Connaught Place and Hauz Khas Village offer comfortable settings to enjoy the rain from above. Patrons can sip hot beverages while watching the showers sweep across city skylines, making these cafes popular monsoon hangouts.

Tips for Exploring Delhi During the Rains

Those venturing out are advised to wear light, quick-drying clothing and waterproof footwear. Carrying a compact umbrella, a water-resistant bag, and essential items such as tissues or a hand towel can ensure a comfortable outing. To avoid traffic congestion, especially in water-logged areas, commuters are encouraged to use the Delhi Metro.
