It’s true, we start the weekend countdown on Monday and wait for those two (and a half) magical days when life happens (if your boss allows it, of course). You might get lazy on chilly days and decide cosy up inside the house, but for those of you who are on the lookout for exciting happenings in Delhi this weekend, we’ve got you covered with this ultimate list of amazing ideas.
1. Explore the hidden gems
Nothing like a day discovering the culture, especially in the winter season when you can soak up some sun along the way. You think you’ve been there, done that? We bet not! Even if you were born in Delhi, there are secret hideaways and off-beat places that you might have missed. So, we suggest you go for a stroll and visit the unseen forts and historic monuments in the capital this weekend. Want to make it more fun? Take the HOHO bus service that not only takes you around comfortably but is also easy on the pocket! Book tickets for your friends, too!
2. Go on an eating spree!
You cannot be in Delhi and not go on an eating spree. Plan a food trail and try the yummy street food from every corner of the city. From pav bhaji at Finger Lickers in Paschim Vihar to chole bhatoore at Nagpal in Lajpat Nagar, and chole kulche in Naraina, you can really be a glutton and have it all. Expert tip: Old Delhi is THE place to be for a #foodgrasm.
3. Go to the Ambience Fashion Week
If you breathe and live fashion, then we have some good news for you: The Amazon Fashion Week is happening this weekend (December 15-16) at Ambience Mall Vasant Kunj, at 7 pm. There, you will spot all your fav celebs including Malaika Arora Khan and Shilpa Shetty Kundra on day one and Divya Khosla, Shruti Hassan and Esha Gupta on day two. Looking for head-turning outfits, BRB!
4. Fulfil your need for speed
If you love racing, then you can try being one of them just for the weekend. There are go-karting tracks in various parts of Delhi and Gurgaon. Explore them and spend an entire day with your friends chasing cars. Awesome, isn’t it?
5. Weekend means road trip!
Delhiwalas will agree that we have top-notch highways that are forever inviting us to take a long drive. Well, don’t say no to them! Go on a road trip to a nearby destination such as Agra, Jaipur or even Manesar (you must stop at McD on the way there). Turn up the romance quotient as you watch a dazzling sunset on the way with your cutie. Need we say more?
