Lodhi Garden

Walk early for local rhythm

Morning brings walkers, birds and cooler air; weekends become noticeably busier after breakfast.

Make a monument loop

Include Muhammad Shah’s Tomb, Bara Gumbad, Shish Gumbad and Sikandar Lodi’s enclosure rather than wandering only the lawns.

Carry binoculars quietly

The mature canopy attracts varied birdlife, especially during cooler months and early hours.

Bring water without overpacking

The garden is easygoing, but a complete circuit still involves a fair amount of walking.

Do not climb the monuments

Use existing paths and entrances; climbing fragile walls damages the structures and can be unsafe.

Pair it with a light cultural stop

Khan Market, India Habitat Centre or Safdarjung’s Tomb can follow without turning the day into a race.
