Wat je gaat doen
Of the great historic cities of the world, only Rome & Cairo can even begin to rival Delhi for the sheer volume, beauty and density of historic remains and we shall start where it all began.
Mehrauli prima facie is the "First City of Delhi" since it has the oldest remains in terms of Monuments dating back to the 9th century and has seen additions to it at the turn of every century, whether it be the ramparts of Lal Kot built in the 9th Century, or the Delhi Sultanate Architecture or the later additions by the Mughals or as late as the British Architectural Imprints. We shall be around the Qutub Minar complex and decipher why and after whom it's named so, head over to the Mehrauli Archeological Park which in itself has a few centuries of History and over 50 monuments to boast of, and if time permits head into the gullies which have many monuments hidden in the lanes co-existing with its 21st-century Inhabitants.

Born into a family of writers & brought up in Delhi, loving and writing about the city comes naturally to me, I love every bit of Delhi whether it be her cuisines, the street food or fine dines, its immersive & immense history, the people, the varied Architecture dating back to 2nd Century BC.
I'm a SuperHost on AirBnB with over 600+ reviews & have been a part of the community since 2016, so hosting comes naturally to me.
I gave up my career in Banking having started off at Deutsche Bank, to be my own Master & do stuff that's close to my heart.
I'm a Biker, Adventurer & an Entrepreneur and would love to know your story while we explore Mehrauli - The First City of Delhi!

Anurag has a clear and passionate focus the otherwise complex Indian relation of history and faith. The tour make ancient monuments and archeological remains speak. From the perspective of architecture and environment it is also delightful and challenging.

Anurag made us very welcome in Delhi on our first morning. Unfortunately we were a little late meeting him due to the traffic but he was very understanding. He is passionate about his love of the city and the history of the area. He gave us a real insight into the beginnings of Delhi and all that had happened in the area of mehraull. He then took us to enjoy a pizza and local coffee. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to know more about the beginnings of Delhi. The Park is so peaceful and beautiful in the centre of bustling Delhi. He stayed with us longer than we were expecting in order to take us to his favourite cafe. A superb guide.

It was my first week in India when I joined the tour with Anurag. Because of his funny, intelligent and warm hearted character the tour became a mesmerizing experience. I highely recomment this tour firstly because of Anurag (as he is a very talented tour guide) and secondly because Mehrauli is a part of Delhi which is not really touristic but still the origin of the city itself. It's a complete dschungel in the middle of Delhi and has a breathtaking charme.
I am waiting for more adventures that I can share with Anurag - exploring the city and getting to know the Indian culture!
