Though not naturally rich in perennial water bodies, Delhi’s lakes offer pockets of tranquility, historical charm, ecological learning, and visual beauty. From the ruins of Hauz Khas to the revived wetlands of Neela Hauz, each site reflects the city’s efforts to blend urban life with natural retreat. These scenic spots are a must-visit for photographers, birders, walkers, and eco-conscious travelers exploring Delhi beyond its monuments and malls.
