As rainfall due to western disturbances, along with favourable wind speed, bring down the pollution levels, there’s a collective sigh of relief among the city’s residents.

Whether you prefer historical charm, biodiversity, or serene lakeside views, Delhi has a plethora of picnic spots to suit every taste.

Here’s a guide to some of the best spots where residents can bask in the clearer skies and enjoy a breath of fresh cold air.
