Watching an IPL match in Delhi is the best decision you’ve ever made. Here’s how you can explore the city in 24 hrs

We are sure you want to buy some colourful stuff for yourself and shop for your family too. Dilli Haat is a hub for shopping and eating, a place where you will experience the richness of India's culture. You can buy sarees from different states, Hyderabadi pearls, and traditional accessories. It would be evening and you can also eat your favourite snacks and sip on tea.

By the time you are done with these places, it will be lunch time. From Mughlai to Continental, you will have a plethora of options at Connaught Place, Malviya Nagar, Hauz Khas, CR Park and South Extension.

If you can cope up with the hangover, visit Bangla Sahib Gurudwara and do not miss the Prasad.

Put on your favourite dress and a matching pair of shoes as the party has just begun. Pubs and restaurants go alive post 9 pm only, where you can meet the youth of Delhi. There are a number of places in Greater Kailash, Hauz Khas, NFC, Gurugram (NCR), Connaught Place, Adhchini, where you can drink like a fish and dance like no one’s watching. You can also try lounges at hotels like Ashoka, The Park, Shangri-La, Taj Mansingh.

We suggest you take the metro from the nearest station and head towards Qutab Minar. You will not only ditch the traffic but also get the experience of the Delhi Metro. It is truly a blessing for daily passengers. While coming back from Qutab Minar, get down at Dilli Haat.

Do visit ‘Rajghat’, which is the memorial of the nation's father and the biggest stalwart of India's struggle for Independence, Mahatma Gandhi. This place offers solace and one can sit here for hours. From here, head towards India Gate and pay respect to our martyrs at Amar Jawan Jyoti. Look backwards and you will see Rashtrapati Bhawan, the official residence of the President.

Lotus Temple looks serene in the evening and this architecture marvel is worth exploring. A Baha’i temple, it is in a Lotus’ shape. You can meditate inside the centre. We know, it’s been a long day and you want to relax. Head to Parikrama at KG Marg. This restaurant is on the 24th floor and gives you a bird's eye view of Delhi. You can easily point out places you went to in the day while eating a scrumptious dinner.

If you are at Chandni Chowk, you will find the Red Fort right across the road. Mirza Ghalib fans can explore his haveli too. The Red Fort, which was built by Shah Jahan, was the residence of Mughal emperor for 200 years. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. From here, you can also explore the Old Fort and go for boating. The architecture is truly amazing and the ASI has done a commendable job in protecting it.
