Cocktails shouldn’t taste better as the altitude in increases, but somehow I think they do – especially when that extra height inspires even the most anti-social, couch-loving person to show their fun moves on the dance floor. So, this weekend as the sun begins to set and the temperature drops, head up to one of these bars to experience Delhi from its best angle – with a drink in hand.
Ten-second takeaway : After 4 years of constant renovation work, the Haveli Dharampura has again come to life. Lakhori, the rooftop restaurant offers a stellar view of the Jama Masjid, the Gurudwara Sis Ganj, Lal Mandir and of course, the Red Fort.
Lay back and enjoy watching children fly colourful kites or indulge in games of kabootarbaazi.
I really hope you visit this gateway to all the wonders of Old Delhi, as it is guaranteed to transport you to a different world where the bustle of the city seems far from reality.
