Nice place to visit when you are in delhi, medieval architecture can be witnessed here, moreover Hauz Khas Fort near Hauz Khas Village was constructed during the reign of Allaudin Khilji, and the place has the remains of its glorious past. Apart from the Hauz Khas Fort ruins, the complex has the royal water tank, an Islamic madrasa and several pavilions, along with other monuments. People come here to marvel at the lost beauty of the place, and also for the serenity it offers.Hauz Khas Fort was the part of the medieval city Siri, and the ruins now offer plenty of opportunity for the photography buffs. Locals frequent the complex to spend time among the lush green lawns or at the lakeside. Kids play outdoor games like tennis and cricket here, and you can take part too once you are back from exploring the hidden passages.
Nice place to take pictures and chill out with your loved ones. There is no shop or water tap inside so dont forget to take water bottle before entering.
Hauz Khas complex houses some very good historical ruins in the middle of urban jungle of Delhi. Its chaotic outside but quite peaceful and serene inside. It is a great place to spend a morning or an evening there. Moreover, when you are done with exploring the complex, there are many good cafes and restaurants just outside the complex.
Such a nice place to visit , you will find peace there , only problem is that there is no food court inside this area(though you will find cafes nearby) and in summers it almost becomes unbearable to stand in scorching heat i will prefer to vist this place in wintersPond, lake with ducks , deer park and fort is main attraction , must visit if you are interested in photography or want a location for shoot
Hauz Khas ComplexEastern limb of the madrasa from the tombNorthern limb of the madrasa starting with the tomb of Feruz Shah and ending in a mosque, with reservoir in the foregroundHauz Khas Complex in Hauz Khas, South Delhi houses a water tank, an Islamic seminary, a mosque, a tomb and pavilions built around an urbanized village with medieval history traced to the 13th century of Delhi Sultanate reign. It was part of Siri, the second medieval city of India of the Delhi Sultanate of Alauddin Khalji Dynasty (1296–1316). The etymology of the name Hauz Khas in Farsi is derived from the words ‘Hauz’: water tank (or lake) and ‘Khas’:royal- the Royal tank. The large water tank or reservoir was first built by Allauddin Khilji (the plaque displayed at the site records this fact) to supply water to the inhabitants of Siri.The tank was de–silted during the reign of Firuz Shah Tughlaq (1351–88). Several buildings (Mosque and madrasa) and tombs were built overlooking the water tank or lake. Firuz Shahs tomb pivots the L–shaped building complex which overlooks the tank.In the 1980s, Hauz Khas Village, studded with domed tombs of Muslim royalty from the 14th to 16th centuries, was developed as an upper class residential cum commercial area in the metropolis of South Delhi, India. It is now a relatively expensive tourist cum commercial area with numerous art galleries, upscale boutiques and restaurants.HistoryThe water tank that was built during [Alauddin Khalji]‘s reign (1296–1316) in the second city of Delhi to meet the water supply needs of the newly built fort at Siri, was originally known as Hauz-i-Alai after Khalji. But Firuz Shah Tughlaq (1351–88) of the Tughlaq Dynasty re–excavated the silted tank and cleared the clogged inlet channels. The tank was originally of about 50 ha (123.6 acres) area with dimensions of 600 m (1,968.5 ft) width and 700 m (2,296.6 ft) length with 4 m (13.1 ft) depth of water. When built, its storage capacity at the end of each monsoon season was reported to be 0.8 Mcum. Now the tank size has substantially reduced due to encroachment and siltation but is well maintained in its present state (pictured).HauzKhas Lake in foggy winter sunriseFeruz Shah who ruled from his new city called the Firozabad (now known as Feroz Shah Kotla) – the fifth city of Delhi – was an enlightened ruler. He was known for his keen sense of historical precedent, statements of dynastic legitimacy and the power of monumental architecture. He is credited with construction of new monuments (several mosques and palaces) in innovative architectural styles, irrigation works and renovating/restoring old monuments such as the Qutub Minar, Sultan Ghari and Suraj Kund, and also erecting two inscribed Ashokan Pillars , which he had transported from Ambala and Meerut in Delhi. At Hauz Khas, he raised several monuments on the southern and eastern banks of the reservoir.The Hauz Khas or the Royal Tank as revived nowRecent lake restoration efforts.Loved this place ❤❤❤❤❤

Hauz Khas complex has the remains of 800 year old construction made during DELHI sultanate days. There is no activity here. Good place to spend a quite afternoon during the weekday wandering through the ruins. My kids loved walking on the walls and going down the narrow stairways.
Hauz Khas is basically one of the most affluent places in South-Delhi. Not only it is an attraction for the people looking forward to spend some good time with their friends but also a delight for the History lovers. One of the major attractions of this area is the Hauz Khas Fort and the Lake which go back to the time of Khilji Dynasty and seem to tell about that era through its ancient walls.Connectivity:-In addition to all the perks, this place is easily reachable through metro and bus for public transport lovers. The Hauz Khas complex is just about a 5 minute drive by auto from the Hauz Khas metro station.
Hauz Khas complex is south delhi is a good place to hang out with friends only if you love to walk around around lakes and love visiting forts.hauz khas has 3 main things. 1st is the outside place which has good cafes and lounges which is only best part of this place 2nd there is a small fort suitable for photography and fort lovers3rd is the lake area where you can roam around the lake, lake is also surrounded by a park where you can come and play different outdoor games.this fort and roaming around the lake is only good for nature and photography lovers others can only visit cafes which are quite decent enough.
Lovely sight and wonderful for photoshoot
I visited the place in the morning. The peace, the breeze, the location, nature and beauty are really admirable. Avoid in hot and humid days but should be visited once in life and dont forget to find the spot of Nargis and Ranbir from rockstar😉
Breathtaking it was......the greenery and the tank was a bliss to the eyes.........
Best placeto visit for couples but kinnar here disturb a lot. Police has to take strict action against them.
I just love this place, its picture perfect ❤️A great place to hangout with Friends or your BAE 🙂Winters is the Ideal time to visit.
The complex is a unique blend of historical significance and modernity in South Delhi. Outside the complex is a hugely popular party place sprawling with youngsters and a vast green expanse in the deer park. The complex has been well preserved by the Archeological Survey of India. It is a photography hotspot as well. The Hauz Khas attracts a number of birds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers in Delhi. The place is well connected by both road and metro networks. The Hauz Khas Station and IIT Delhi Station are the closest metro stations. Entry tickets to the complex are priced at ₹15 for Indians and ₹200 for foreign nationals.
Love the place very good place for visit weekend
You can feel the Vibes of Nature
Its my favourite place. I love everything about here. This place is best for photoshoots. They got lake, lot of forts and parks, deer park, rose garden for couples. But the only thing which is not maintained is one fort where people pee n leave. We cant even stand there. But overall anyone can have awesome time here. ❤️
This 12th and 13th Century structure built during Khilji and Tughlaq regime still stands erect strong and sound. Surrounded by beautiful lake (made to store water, restored in Tughlaq regime) and green cover, this place gives you a feeling of past. Good place to visit for historians, nature lovers, archaeologists and otherwise too. Outside it’s a lively street full of many joints for food and drinks. Only bad part I felt is poor maintenance (protection) of such historical structures.
This place like a couple park. Every where you can see couple. Better option for couple
The moSt memorable place in my life, when I was happy then I spend lots of tym.. Nd when I was sad then I spend my lots of time here,, this is the one of my favorite place not in Delhi,, in the world

Ultimate dating destination 😍
Nice place , wide green lawns out there where you can do meditation, play sports and other activities..there is a lake which ..is quite danderous if you fall in it😅 . This park is big enough for walking/running. There are also monkeys which you can spot near the lake and be careful for that. Also you can spot beautiful sunsets😀
The place is calm peaceful and a peculiar serenity prevails over the place....the veiw of the lake (built by alauddin khilji and later renovated by firoz shah tuglaq) offers a amazing scene....the place also consists of firz shah tuglaqs tomp a madrassa and some other tuglaq dynasty monumentsthe place is calm peaceful and a peculiar serenity prevails over the place....the veiw of the lake (built by alauddin khilji and later renovated by firoz shah tuglaq) offers a amazing scene....the place also consists of firz shah tuglaqs tomp a madrassa and some other tuglaq dynasty monuments

Good park in center of delhi
Nice place.
A perfect place to relax after a hectic schedule. It feels better during winter.
Beautiful , relaxing place to go on an evening walks
I visited there few week ago...this monument is a tourism monument for which you have to pay 20rs before entering to monument. There was a huge QR code scanner for E-ticket facility. A guard was there for checking of tickets. I found that there is a person who is taking 20rs for tickets and taking your information on a register. Please dont give him fee for entering the monument because he gave me the ticket through Bluetooth service. Which can be a copy. He cheated us 40rs for two person. And I would recommend everyone to get your tickets through QR facilities. Dont give anyone any fees. He approximately made thousands of rupees a day. I will report this to ministry of tourism so that action can be taken against him.
The place has been kept just for earning something extra by ASI. Some reconstruction or atleast preservation shouldve been done. Otherwise it is good for first timer
Neat nd clean place. Good place for those who want to do yoga nd meditation

Good to go
Good place
Water issue and boating timming are not good
Smaller than some other attractions. Teenage couples making out everywhere. Otherwise its pretty neat to see. Card not accepted despite signage saying so. I paid online instead as otherwise it costs more to pay cash for some reason.
Beautiful place
October,Best time to visit this place.
Great place for photoshoot

A peaceful place in Delhi
It was awesome ☺️
Best place to visit, can go for Morning walk and picknik
Good for yongers.... However lots to learn if you are a botanical student
Now they charge 25/- for entry earlier it was freee. Plastic bags are not allowed inside. Couples make out in this burial ground which is supposedly haunted. So watch out when you enter some dark alley cuz you gonna see something you shouldnt see. Good Luck
Historical place
The historical complex of Hauz Khas (originally known as Hauz-e-Alai) is an ancient community of ruins which includes a mosque, various tombs, and the previously important water tank.Built in the early 1300’s, the water tank was designed to store rainwater to be used when needed in the dry season. Nowadays, the complex is a public Delhi park, a place where lots of students go to just hang out with friends, and chat while sitting on ancients stones and tombs.
Nice place 🙂
A cool place to have fun with friends and sit around the lake at the time of sun set. Also we can enjoy some food and booze in some cool and extraordinary cafe behind this.
This place is really beautiful. It is surrounded by lakes, greenery, birds, peacock, forts and lavish bars and restaurants.
