Khusk-i-Shikar (hunting lodge) built by Firuz Shah Tughlaq in the 14th Century, perhaps used as an observatory too. Theres a stepwell next to it, now known as Pir Ghaib, refers to an islamic saint who occupied the ruins & one day just vanished.

The view of North Delhi is Amazing from roof of peer gayab.

The outer stairs are difficult to climb, not for children or old age people, though the inner stairs are accessible to all. The view is okay. Some part of Kamla Nehru Ridge is visible.

THESE TYPES OF HISTORICAL PLACES SHOULD BE VERY CAREFULLY PROTECTED BY GOVERNMENT

Good place

Front part of the monument is in ruins. Stairs are there to climp up to first floor. People come here on thursdays to light up lamps and there is a Baba who claims to ward off the evil spirits with all his mantras and a peacock feather broom.

Having spent 2 years in hindurao hospital during residency, we used to pass through it daily during lunch break or while going to mess. Beautiful structure

One of the important monument but very poorly managed by govt..

Pir Ghaib is related to a saint who got disappear inside this monument. It is controversial but some says it was built in Tughlaq period.Though the building is in ruined conditions, many visitors comes here to see its spooky mystery. Part of the Northern ridge its one of the places you should not miss being a history enthusiast.

Good

Historical landmark though completely in ruins.it islocated inside the premises of hindu rao hospital.but i have never seen any visitors here except for monkeys and dogs though.i wish more focus is given to such places

It lies in Hindu rao hospital. I didnt find anything very spectacular about the place. In fact it occupies a lot of the space of the colleg which would have otherwise used for the students.

A place which was used to hunts by Aurangzeb nd many other Mughal Emperors...It is located in Hindu Rao hospital Delhi, near nursing home of Hindu Rao...

Interesting monument of historical importance higlighting the main features of Tughluq architecture.

Sadly, not maintained well, this is said to be world amongst first observatory. Must read an article by nehru planetarium to know the architecture of this observatory

It is a very beautiful place to visit

Hunting lodge/observatory built by F S Tughlak. Interesting stories associated.

Delhi RidgeDelhi Ridge, sometimes simply called The Ridge, is a ridge in the National Capital Territory of Delhi in India.[1] The ridge is a northern extension of the ancient Aravalli Range, some 1500 million years old (compared to just 50 million for the Himalaya).[2][3] The ridge consists of quartziterocks and extends from the Southeast at Tughlaqabad, near the Bhatti mines, branching out in places and tapering off in the north near Wazirabad on the west bank of the river Yamuna,[4] covering a distance of about 35 kilometres.[5]The Delhi Ridge is said to be the green lungs for the city and protects Delhi from the hot winds of the deserts of Rajasthan to the west. It is also responsible for earning Delhi the tag of the worlds second most bird-rich capital city, after Kenyas Nairobi.[6]Geographical segmentsEditThe Ridge today, for administrative reasons, is divided into 4 separate zones,[7] namely:The Old Delhi or Northern Ridge denotes the hilly area near Delhi University and is by far the smallest segment of the Ridge. Northern Ridge location is 28°40′52″N 77°12′57″E. Nearly 170 hectares were declared a Reserved Forest in 1915. Less than 87 hectares remain today, which is slated to develop as Biodiversity Park by the Delhi Development Authority.The New Delhi or Central Ridge was made into a Reserved Forest in 1914 and stretches from just south of Sadar Bazaar to Dhaula Kuan. It extends over 864 hectares, but some bits have been nibbled away.The Mehrauli or South-Central Ridge is centred on Sanjay Vana, near JNU and Vasant Kunj, and encompasses 633 hectares. Large chunks have been encroached and built upon.The Tughlaqabad or Southern Ridge sprawls across 6200 hectares and includes the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary. This is the least urban of the 4 segments of the Ridge, but a lot of it is village-owned or privately owned farmland

Must watch this, this kind of place is excellent example of our golden history

Pir Ghaib relatively lesser known monument in Delhi.
