- Ugrasen Ki Baoli - Begin with a pickup from centrally located hotels in Delhi, then head to “Agrasen ki Baoli,” a true architectural wonder. This site features three levels and 108 steps leading down to the well. Agrasen Ki Baoli bears a resemblance to the stepwells, or baolis, found in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The water within the well is rumored to have a hypnotic effect, enticing individuals to commit suicide. It is said that the well once contained black water, which mysteriously led to fatalities. Due to tales of the place being haunted, visitors tend to avoid it in the evenings.
- Hailey Lane - Following the stepwell visit, continue to “Hailey Lane,” where the land of the “Dhobis” (traditional washer-men) comes to life each morning with the sound of clothes being beaten against concrete slabs. As the Yamuna River is distant, the ghat depends on borewell water, cement tubs (chilamchis), tanks (hauds), pools (naandis), and hydras, which are electric machines that extract water. Despite the prevalence of household washing machines, many still entrust their clothes to dhobis for thorough cleaning.
- Lodhi Gardens - Next, explore the hidden ancient tombs in “Lodhi Gardens.” The lush greenery and tranquil lake waters will leave you in awe. Enjoy the perfect serenity and be captivated by the beauty of the towering tombs enveloped in greenery. Capture as many photos as you like to enhance your Instagram account!
