Delhiites, while the gentle, winter sun is still out and about, you should be too. Dilli ki sardi is more than snuggling in your razaai. As much as I love this activity myself, it doesn’t hurt to step out once in a while. From catching sunsets and picking strawberries to ice skating and going for a food walk, there’s so much you can do in this weather. So, put on your baggy sweaters and visit these places for a classic Delhi experience this winter season.

1. Picnic at Lodhi Garden

This is the perfect weather to have an aesthetic picnic with your pals. Head to Lodhi Garden and spread a mat beside the lake to watch beautiful ducks playing around. After walking through the complex, you can go straight to Khan Market for bookstores, cafe hopping, and hot chocolate.

2. Boating at Yamuna River

This is one of the most underrated activities to do in Delhi in winter. For boating at Yamuna Ghat, it’s best to go early morning and watch the sunrise. However, you can also go during sunset and have a fun experience. The birds flying over your head while you’re on a boat ride is the highlight of this activity. Furthermore, if you go around the daytime, you can stay till evening for the aarti at Yamuna Ghat.

3. Ice skating in Delhi NCR

Can’t plan a trip to Kashmir? That doesn’t mean you can’t dance in the snow while staying in the city. Delhi winter is incomplete if you’re not going ice skating with your friends. Places like iSkate in Gurugram, Ice Age Skating Café in Delhi, and Ski India in Noida’s DLF Mall provide the best skiing experience. Plan a date with your besties before they close the sport for the next winter.

4. Laphing date at Majnu Ka Tila

Walking in the streets of Majnu Ka Tila has to be on your list of things to do in Delhi in winter. You can explore the Tibetan market and get super affordable deals on winter wear. After that, you can navigate to some local stalls for lip-smacking Laphing. If you love Korean food, you’ll have a variety of cafés to explore including, AMA, Wongdhen, Kim Chi Korean Restaurant, and more. However, if you love desi food, take an e-rickshaw to Kamla Nagar. Rawal Pindi Ke Mashoor Chhole Bhature shop serves the best food. You can end your day with Sudama Tea Stall’s chai for the authentic Delhi experience.

5. Bae date at Sunset Cinema Club

Do you and your partner love movie dates but need a better experience? How about watching your favourite movie under an open sky, cuddling with your boo while snacking on popcorn? It’s time you join the Sunset Cinema Club to have a unique outing. You can also book a private screening for your friends and family. How cool is that!

6. Strawberry picking at Saraf Farms

Winter is a great time to walk around farms and pick fresh fruits and veggies. If you want to have scrumptious strawberries while this fruit’s season lasts, go to Saraf Farms. The sweetness of these fresh strawberries is exactly what you want in winter. You can also explore other farms in Delhi NCR to get organic produce and make healthy meals in this chilly weather.

7. Pickleball with your friends

Winter is all about good food but what about the neverending calories? It’s hard to hit the gym when that warm quilt keeps calling you. That’s when pickleball comes to your rescue. This trendy sport is too easy to learn and equally fun to play. Sportz N More, CoPlay, PickleJoy, and Pick A Ball among other places in Delhi offer an exciting pickleball experience.
