What people say, in short
Mehrauli Archaeological Park is a well-liked spot that many people recommend, often as an underrated alternative to Delhi's bigger monuments. Commenters value its mix of greenery and old ruins, and one visitor even prefers it to nearby Qutub Minar for the views. One suggests pairing it with Qutub Minar, and one says the light just before sunset, when the garden and the minar glow, is magical. Entry is free and photography is allowed; one commenter recommends going in daylight.
