New day I started with Purana quila. I started the around 10 Am and this place requires min 2 hours to cover. A huge garden and few old gates and monuments we can see here.From there I visited India gate which is a must visit in Delhi. Spend some evening time here having good chats. From here capture nearby metro to Chandini Chawk and this place is Insane. once you reach Chandini Chawk switch on the map to Paranthe wali Gali and once you enter this place, It is entire new world. One just need to keep moving here. And here we can find great food. Go to Al Nisari Kababi which is next to Jama Masjid and you will best kababs and some other great food in same lane.I was there for 2 days and got chance to visit few places only. With one or two more days in hand One can visit some other good places like Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Lal quila etc. Which I am sure I will visit next time.
