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.

Delhiites can now venture outdoors for a rejuvenating picnic experience. Remember to carry essentials like a picnic blanket, snacks, and waste disposal bags to ensure a responsible and enjoyable experience. 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.

1. Sanjay Van: For those seeking a more immersive natural experience, Sanjay Van offers a sprawling forested area on the outskirts of the city.

Trails within the forest provide an opportunity for a post-picnic stroll, allowing visitors to connect with nature.

2. Nehru Park: Situated in the posh locality of Chanakyapuri, Nehru Park boasts well-maintained lawns, vibrant flower beds, and a serene lake. The rain transforms this park into a picturesque haven. Visitors can spread out their picnic blankets, enjoy a meal amidst the greenery, and relish the improved air quality that the rain brings.

The rain enhances the charm of this historical site, making it a delightful place for a picnic. Here, one can enjoy a blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty in this popular South Delhi destination.

4. Mehrauli Archaeological Park: With its historical ruins, lush greenery, and panoramic views, Mehrauli Archaeological Park is a fascinating destination for a picnic. Winter enhances the ancient charm of this park, providing a picturesque backdrop for a day outdoors.
