Mehrauli Archaeological Park is situated in Delhi, just beside the Qutub Complex (historically Mehrauli was the first of the eight cities of Delhi). Spanning an area of more than 200 acres, the site displays the rich heritage of India, starting from the Pre-Islamic to the Colonial phase. Mehrauli Archaeological Park accounts for several historically significant monuments, including the remains of the first city of Delhi, the capital of the Tomar rulers in the 11th century.

Sanjay Van is a city forest area which is located in South Delhi near Vasant Kunj. It is a densely wooded forest and is home to plenty of birds, making it a haven for nature lovers. A long trail to Qila Lal Kot in Sanjay Van is desolate and abound with keeker trees and shrubs on the sideways. Known as the first Red Fort, the 11th century Lal Kot with a six feet high fortification wall, was built in 1060 AD by Rajput ruler Anangpal Tomar whose ancestors had settled in the Aravalli Hills. Today, nature enthusiasts cycle along the six kilometre track of the south Delhi ridge to take a break from the busy city life.
