Popular Parks to Chill Out in Delhi in Spring 2023

 

The capital city of India is filled with towering buildings and bustling crowds. Nevertheless, amid its noisy lanes and busy streets, Delhi offers visitors moments of serenity with abundant greenery and boat rides in its several parks. If you live in another city, say, Ahmedabad, all you need is an Ahmedabad to Delhi flight to experience tranquility in these parks.

Here are the most well-known parks in New Delhi where you can have some quality relaxation:

Buddha Jayanti Park

It's among the most popular and beautiful parks in Delhi and was built to celebrate the 2500th anniversary of the enlightenment of Buddha. With serene lakes, lush green expanses, colourful flowers, and numerous crickets and birds, the park is the ideal place to find peace. The large stretches of grass are just right for resting, watching the sky, and picnicking. In the central pavilion, you can find a statue of the Gautam Buddha. It was dedicated in 1993 by the 14th Dalai Lama.

Opening Hours: 6 am to 8.30 pm

The Lodi Garden

This park has great historical importance. Maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, the place showcases the architectural excellence of the Lodi dynasty, the 15th-century Afghan dynasty. In the park, the tombs of Sikander Lodi, Bara Gumbad, Sheesh Gumbad, and Mohammed Shah lie. These tombs remain today as exquisite works of Lodi architecture and are spread across the lawns in the park. So, if you wish to behold magnificent historical structures besides chilling in a park, it's a must to visit Lodi Garden after your Ahmedabad to Delhi flight ends.

Opening Hours: 5 am to 8 pm

Japanese Park

It is a famous picnic spot in Delhi. Whether you wish to watch exotic birds fly or simply relax under the shade of a large tree, you can do it all in this park. You can not only walk through or jog in the park but even enjoy refreshing boat rides on the lakes. The place is a favourite of both adults and children. Kids can lose themselves in a large playground. Visitors can also treat their eyes to wonderful views of sunrises and sunsets here.

Opening Hours: 6 am to 7 pm

Deer Park

As the name suggests, this place is known for having multiple deer that roam around freely. Also, it is popularly known as the 'Lungs of Delhi' due to the fresh air provided by the mini forest. Interestingly, the place has all that a park can ever offer. That's because it is split into different sections like the deer and rabbit fields, the duck park, picnic spots, the fountain, the old, Mughal-era monuments, and the Hauz Khas art market. Hence, Deer Park is ideal for all visitors and can offer a varied and rich experience to them.

Opening Hours: 5.30 am to 7 pm (winter); 5 am to 8 pm (summer)

You can also visit the National Rose Garden if you wish to smell endless sweet roses. Remember to click lots of pictures of the parks that you explore to show them to your loved ones after you return on your Delhi to Ahmedabad flight.
