Our guide will meet you at the entrance gate of Mehrauli Archaeological Park The tourists can use the metro, taxi, or autorikshaw to reach the entrance.
Gather at the main entrance of the park. Mehrauli Archaeological Park is a peaceful expanse steeped in centuries of history. Spanning nearly 200 acres, this site holds stories from the eras of the Khaljis, Tughlaqs, Lodhis, Mughals, and even the British. As you walk through, you’ll trace Delhi’s evolution through its excavated remains and timeless monuments.
First stop — the Tomb of Balban, one of the oldest in the area. Built from sturdy grey quartzite, this simple yet striking structure stands out for its flat roof and the unusual absence of a dome, breaking away from the style of its time.
Next, stroll to Jahaz Mahal, or the “Ship Palace,” named for its reflection in the nearby waters that once made it look like a floating vessel. Wander through its grand courtyards, admire the craftsmanship, and imagine the royal gatherings that once took place here.
Continue to the Jamali Kamali complex. The mosque and tomb of the poet-saint Jamali are beautifully adorned with blue and turquoise tiles, creating a serene spiritual space. Beside it lies the smaller tomb of Kamali — whose identity remains a mystery but adds to the intrigue of the site.
End at Rajon Ki Baoli, an impressive stepwell built for water conservation in the dry climate. Its name means “stepwell of the masons,” suggesting it was crafted by skilled artisans themselves. The cool, shaded steps and intricate stonework make it both functional and beautiful.
