Walks Through Delhi's Green Oases
Ditch the city chaos and join us for a slow-paced walk through Delhi's lush ridges, ancient gardens, and forgotten forest trails.
A walkthrough of the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Delhi's oldest inhabited area. We explore centuries of ruins, from tombs to stepwells, scattered across a vast green landscape.
This is what sustainable travel looks like. A group hikes along a stone path in the Mehrauli forest, a perfect example of how we explore the city's natural heritage responsibly.

About Walks Through Delhi's Green Oases
These aren't just park strolls. They are deep dives into history where the ruins meet the canopy. Whether it is the Northern Ridge’s 1857 Mutiny history or the quiet serenity of Lodhi Garden, we keep the group small and the chai breaks frequent to ensure you connect with the city instead of just ticking off monuments.
We believe Delhi is best experienced at a walking pace. When you walk with us, you are not just seeing the city, you are listening to it. Our 'Green Oases' trails are designed to help you slow down in a city that never stops running.
Take our Northern Ridge walk, for instance. It is far removed from the traffic and noise, taking you past the Flagstaff Tower and the Bara Hindu Rao baoli—places that hold the echoes of the 1857 uprising. We do not just walk past; we stop, talk about the history, and share a local tea.
In Mehrauli Archaeological Park, we wander through centuries of ruins. It is not just a history lesson; it is a tactile experience. You can touch the walls of a forgotten gateway and explore stepwells tucked away under dense tree cover. For those who prefer a mix of manicured history and nature, our Lodhi Garden walks are perfect. We trace the path of the Lodi dynasty, admiring Indo-Islamic architecture while enjoying the shade of ancient trees.
Our approach is simple: keep it small, keep it personal, and keep it real. No rushing. No loudspeakers. Just a few hours of reconnecting with the city’s calmer side. Whether you are a lifelong Delhite discovering your own backyard or a visitor looking to escape the concrete, these walks are your chance to see the city’s pehlimohabbat, its first love.
Delhi By Cycle
We started this madness back in 2009 because we felt Delhi had so many stories getting lost in the noise. We aren't just tour guides; we’re local storytellers who believe the best way to see Delhi is on foot, usually with a hot cup of chai in hand.
