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!.

JUBILEE PARK

EXPLORING JHARKHAND

established in 1958 by tata group

Jayanti Sarover lake

As I entered the park. I was amazed by the level of maintenance by the authorities. This park is spread over 225 acres.Therefore, you need the whole day to explore it.
This park consists of:

Zoo
Rose garden
Jayanti Sarovar lake
Safari
Laser show
Fountains

They have not compromised on cleanliness.
One cannot miss the zoo which is the main attraction of this place.
Tata Zoo was opened for visitors on 3rd March 1994.
This zoo has varieties of animals and birds that looked healthy, active and happy.
So it seems like Jubilee Park Zoo authorities are taking good care of the animals.
Inside the zoo, it had drinking water, restaurants and washroom facilities available.
Zoo also has van for zoo visit and benches available.

Things , I was really fascinated to see are as follows:

View of the Jayanti sarover lake was mesmerizing...they also have boating facilities.
The animals and birds are cleary visible ...unlike Delhi zoo where you have to keep looking for animals.
The lions and the tigers family....was the best to see.(you could clearly hear them while they were communicating)
visitors make sure you carry a good camera as it will enhance your experience ....because its the best place for photography.
and the list has no end.....this park has more than one can expect for....I was not lucky enough but if one does visit this place it also offers laser and musical fountain show in evenings.
They also have bus elephant safari and had a very well designed house For butterflies.
The birth anniversary of Jamshetji Tata is celebrated on the 3rd of March.This park is lit up beautifully in the evenings.
