India Gate has a nice feel to it with the locals playing cricket in the surrounding park and families taking time to meet up, walk around and chill out. Although crowded, we didn't get hassled much here and as the sun sets the light makes a beautiful sight through the gate. More

We went through the day and it was lovely here. But returned at sunset and there was thousands of indians here, fabulous atmosphere, felt 100% safe and we were the only white people here. Definately go at sunset and dont forget your camera. More
