HAUZ KHAS VILLAGE

HAUZ KHAS WAS BUILT BY ALLAUDDIN KHILJI DURING 1296-1316.

What does the name literally mean??  Hauz(lake)...khas(royal).
One pleasant sunday , I decided to visit to Hauz Khas Village. HKV is in South Delhi.The nearest metro station is green park and hauz khas .

Be it a Delhite or an outsider everyone is smitten over Hauz khas for many things, but I personally love it for its lake(adding the beauty of this place) and its flora and fauna.

So the first time I explored this place was during my college days. This place used to be our favourite hangout spot.I am sure students of south campus could relate to it.

Why this place is different?
HKV attracts many of youngsters,tourists aswell. Although any age group can come here and spend a quality time.
This place is filled with young energy where you will see youngsters indulging in sports ,playing tunes on guitar ,practicing dancing or simply doing photography.

So on my this visit everything was pretty much the same but one new thing that I noticed  was the installation of an outdoor gym in the park. Working out with the panoramic view is a bliss!.

HKV consists of :

• lake(tank)
• madrasa
• mosque
• bars
• cafes
• art gallaries
• restraunts
• fashion boutiques
• home decor
• book stores

As I was strolling through the market street. I came across the famous restraunts ,cafes and bars naming few.......

•  SOCIALS
• MY BAR GRILL
• MAFIOSO
• CHAAYOS
• OUT OF THE BOX
• IMPERFECTO
• NAIVEDYAM

Offering variety of exotic cuisines, drinks and having a relaxed ambience.
So be it your first date coffee, brunch with office colleagues or just to enjoy nightlife.This place is just parfait (perfect in French).

HKV is an expensive place but you also have the option of lip smacking roadside street food  available in affordable price like .....momos ,rolls,kulfis,gol gappas ,ram ladoos etc.(sabka jugaad hai).

The view of the lake was breathtaking .Where you will see swans sailing in the lake .Couples can have a great time as aura of this place will bring out the romance. (remember guys?scene from the Bollywood movie MS DHONI).

Things you surely cant miss out is the graffiti wall (admire ,applaud the artists then turn into a selfie queen ).

Next to the haus khas village is the deer park housing deers, peacocks and rabbits.
This place will surely give you peace from the hustle bustle of city life
(finally!my lungs can breathe) .
just adjacent to deer park is rose garden with beautiful roses and having lush green lawns.Perfect place to relax!.
