Walk organisers say the rain deepens the colour of monuments, revives gardens and forest trails, improves light for photographs and brings overlooked details into view. Routes include Sunder Nursery, Purana Qila, Lodhi Garden, Qutub Minar, Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Hauz-e-Shamsi and Jahaz Mahal. The season also offers a food trail centred on ghevar. Recommended stops include Chaina Ram and Shyam Sweets in Old Delhi, Kaleva in Central Delhi, Evergreen in Green Park and Bansal Sweets in Pitampura. Birdwatchers may spot Indian pittas, paradise flycatchers, golden orioles, bitterns, pied cuckoos and rain quails across the National Capital Region. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Delhi, ghevar, heritage walks, Monsoon, nature trails Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/monsoon-opens-delhis-heritage-nature-and-food-trails/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
