It is land-locked by Uttar Pradesh to the east and Haryana on the other three sides, nestled within the Gangetic Plains of North India.
Delhi experiences extreme summers and chilly winters, separated by a pleasant monsoon and transitional days. While the city is welcoming year-round, the ideal time to visit is during early and late winters (around November and February) when the weather is cool and conducive for outdoor activities.
Delhi’s history is rich and multi-layered, stretching back to ancient times. Mentioned in the Mahabharata as Indraprastha, it was ruled by various dynasties through the ancient and medieval periods, unified under the vast Mughal Empire. Delhi later became the center of British rule in India when the capital shifted from Calcutta (Kolkata) in 1911. Today, it stands as India’s capital, known as the National Capital Territory of Delhi, embodying the nation’s political, social, and cultural evolution over centuries.
