Located in South Delhi, Hauz Khas is a part of Siri, the second medieval city of India of the Delhi Sultanate of Allaudin Khilji Dynasty and houses a water tank, an Islamic seminary, a mosque, a tomb and pavilions built around an urbanized village with medieval history dating back to the 13th century of Delhi Sultanate reign.

Itinerary

Stop 1: Kunzum Travel Cafe

We meet at the Kunzum Travel Café, a place for travelers to meet and share travel stories over coffee and cookies. They are experimenting with the "Pay what you like" model. You can buy travel books and travel art prints here. If you are lucky, you can meet the founder of this lovely place, traveller and writer Ajay Jain and hear stories of far-flung places from him. As we walk down the lanes, the impact of the colorful Street Art Festival will leave you enthralled. We will stop at a number of pretty art galleries and boutiques on the way to the Madrasa-e-Feroz Shahi.

Stop 2: Madrasa-e-Feroz Shahi

Established in 1352, the Madrasa-e-Feroz Shahi was considered the largest and best equipped Islamic seminary in the world. Timur who plundered Delhi in 1398 wrote, "When I reached [the city’s] gates, I carefully reconnoitered its towers and walls, and then returned to the side of the Hauz Khas. This is a reservoir, which was constructed by Sultan Feruz Shah, and is faced all round with stone and stucco. Each side of the reservoir is more than a bows–shot long, and there are buildings placed around it. This tank is filled by rains in the rainy season, and it supports the people of the city with water throughout the year. The tomb of Sultan Firuz Shah stands on its bank." As the sun sinks below the horizon in a symphony of pinks and reds, sit wondering at the culmination of crowded pedestrian walks on one side and the greenery around the tank on the other.

Stop 3: Hauz Khas Social - Cafe and Lounge

Our walk will end with some stunning sunset views at thHauz Khas Social Cafe.
