Shree Guru Bangla Sahib

If we talk about spirituality one of the most pious places in Delhi suburbs is Bangla Sahib which is the biggest Gurudwara of Delhi as we know Delhi is the base home of Sikhs and Punjabis. It is just not famous because it is the biggest gurudwara but because of its LANGAR. People in wide number despite their religion their class come here to serve other people in different ways.

In Delhi Locality and not visited University campuses

The way Delhi is famous for its food and all Delhi University adds charm to it. If you are in Delhi and you don’t visit the North Campus you did nothing especially if you are a college going student. The lifestyle of students there is totally different from that of others. So if you haven’t visited you need to folks.

Delhi is the best place to shop and eat

The way street food is famous in Delhi the same way the street shopping is a craze there especially for girls. Whether it comes to footwear, clothes (any type), accessories go visit Sarojini Nagar Market, Janpath, Lajpat Nagar, Atta market Noida and again the never-ending list. Go and shop shopaholics.

If you are in Delhi and not visited the famous tourist places then it’s not worth it.

From the ancient time, Delhi is famous for its monuments whether it is Qutub Minar, Jantar Mantar, Agrasen ki Bowli, red fort, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Humayun’s tomb, Akshardham temple and so on and so forth. These places really add glory and charm to Delhi and making it one of the favorite tourist spots for the people all over the world.

The famous Roads, Streets, and Colonies

Humayun's Tomb, Delhi

It is quite strange but Delhi is famous for its roads. Yes, folks, you read it right. Also, few of the names of the “Roads” and “ streets” in Delhi are also kept after the name of famous emperors. Few of the famous roads are “Aurangzeb road, Akhbar Road, Tees Hazari Marg, Safdarganj road, Racecourse road and colonies like “friends colony, Lutyens Bungalow zones, Panchsheel Colony” and so on.

Delhi's locality is not just famous for the things mentioned above but it is actually a place where people from different areas and region, different religion, caste, creed lives here.

That’s Delhi. When life gets too much for you all you need to spend an hour at Nigambodh Ghat, watch the dead being put to flames and hear their kind wail for them, and then come home and down a couple of pegs of whiskey. In Delhi, death and drink make life worth living.” -khushwant Singh
