Qutab Minar, New Delhi

[SachinVijayan]

Greeting Dear LG friends,

In this post I will explain my travel experience and some photographs of Qutab Minar.

From New Delhi railway station, I took an Ola auto and reached Qutab Minar. It cost Rs.320. But the better option will be by traveling in Yellow line Metro and you can get down at Qutab Minar stop and then pick an auto.

Then I went to the ticket counter which is located just opposite to the main entrance of the monument. The I took token cost around Rs 30 and went to the monument main entrance.

I went there at 7 am, and had a great experience. Actually it was not crowded when I enter the monument and when I come to exit, it was little crowded.

The location was well maintained by archeological department and the 62 meter victory tower was wonderful. I enjoyed the sounds of birds, garden, aero plane spotting there…

Then I came around Iman Zamin Tomb. It was nice and the designs made of bricks were wonderful

I enjoyed the constructive beauty and architectural works… Then I roam around the Iron Pillar and finally came to the main monument.

It was a South West Asian design and fully made of red bricks. The entire 62 meter is carved with an arabic design.

Then I enjoyed the sound of birds and it was also an amazing experience. My suggestion is to visit Qutab minar early morning. Morning sunlight gives a different image to the monument.

This place is one of the good location for aeroplane spotting. I enjoyed the descending beauty of civilian aircrafts. I have added some photographs. Since the Indra Gandhi International Airport is located 7.5 km from here, you can enjoy a better view.

After spending 2 hours, I returned through the exit gate.

Hi @SachinVijayan simply an awesome post. I visited Qutub Minar in 2006. The place is very nice, neat, and clean. All the photos are very nice and illustrative. You provided very helpful information at the end of the post. Great post buddy. Thanks for sharing.

One thing I noticed is that you have tagged me. But I did not get any notification for the same. I don’t know how. I am getting all other notifications. But I observed that no notification when you tag me. @TravellerG sir are you getting a notification when SachinVijayan tags you?

Very well written pooed, dear @SachinVijayan ,

Your narration style is good & the photos are informative. Aeroplane sporting is very easy as we can see a flight passing every singly minute.

My family visited in December 2022.

Hope to see more from you, soon.

Thanks for your comment @TravellerG

Obviously, every single minute we can enjoy there…

Fog is the only problem in December and January. We cant able to see anything away from 20 meters… But 11am to 5pm will be better…
