4. Turn the clock back at the Mehrauli Archaeological Park
If you are a history buff, one of the most interesting things to do in Saket is to explore this park right next to the towering Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Featuring more than 50 crucial monuments built over a thousand years, this 200-acre archaeological park is a testament to how India’s capital evolved architecturally, culturally, and socially. Admire the quintessential Islamic domes and arches of the structures here, and the Indian influences.
From the Tomb of Balban, Jamal Kamali Mosque and Tomb, and Rajon Ki Baoli with its precisely symmetrical steps to the peaceful white Dargah of Qutab Sahib, Hijron ka Khanqah, and boat-like Jahaz Mahal, Mehrauli Archaeological Park offers much to see, soak in, and learn.
📍Anuvrat Marg, Christian Colony, Mehrauli
5. Soak in serenity at Ahinsa Sthal
Finding a quiet, tranquil spotin Delhi is no longer a challenge with this Jain Temple, a short drive from Saket. Boasting a height of 14 feet, the stone statue of Mahavira (the last Jain Tirthankar) here will fill you with awe, humility, and spiritual bliss. Seated in a meditative pose on a lotus in full bloom and atop a hill, Mahavira’s statue overlooks Mehrauli and inspires the spirit of nonviolence, tolerance, and brotherhood.
When you make your way up the hill to pay respects to the statue, don’t forget to admire the panoramic views. Also note the graceful sculptures of attendants and lions flanking Mahavira.
📍Butterfly Park, Sainik Farm
6. Hang out in Champa gali
Catapulted to fame by Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal 2, Champa Gali is a quaint, vibrant alley with eclectic shops and pretty cafes. You can shop for designer outfits and accessories at Samant Chauhan without blowing your budget. Or visit Liberty Village to try flea market shopping. Jugaad, a non-profit handicraft store, is known for its quirky bookmarks, scarves, wallets, paper goods, jewellery, and kurtas.
One of the top things to do in Saket is to try the Champa Gali eateries. Sample masala chai, hot chocolate, or banana cake at Jugmug Thela or relish the pizza at Four Directions. Blue Tokai Coffee is your best bet for fresh brews, sandwiches, pasta, pancakes, and fries. Lastly, don’t miss the photo booth at The Green View Bistro and Café.
