8 Famous Gardens in Delhi, Best Parks in Delhi NCR

I live in Delhi, and for me, there’s nothing that compares to its culture, energy and convenience. I’m not alone in feeling this way — more than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas.

But I also know that when it comes to mental health, the urban lifestyle may not be such a good thing. Delhi is a busy place, full of busy people, and sometimes it can be hard to get out of the city’s gray haze and find some fresh air and peace of mind.

But there are plenty of ways to find that much needed escape, if you only know where to look. Head out to these places in Delhi when you feel the need to recharge.
