Top Culture in New Delhi

If you're not keen on heat, I suggest visiting in the early morning around 7 AM. It’s less crowded and much cooler, making for a lovely stroll.

I think you should check the weather before going. It got really hot when I visited, and I regretted not bringing a hat and sunscreen!

Bring a water bottle. There’s not much around, and the temple grounds require some walking. Stay hydrated while you soak in the beauty.

I suggest timing your visit for sunset. The light hitting the Lotus Temple is stunning and provides amazing photo opportunities!

I recommend spending time at the toy train exhibit... It's such a fun spot, and I almost missed it thinking it was for kids only!

I think bringing your own snacks can save you some money. The food options aren’t the cheapest, and packing a few treats can keep you energized while you explore!

Get there right when they open at 6 AM to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and get some stunning photos without the crowds. Later in the day it gets really busy!

Bring a good pair of walking shoes. The grounds are extensive, and you'll want to explore every little nook and cranny of this beautiful site.

Check the weather before heading out. Visiting during the cooler months (October to March) makes a world of difference. I went in the summer and it was sweltering!

Don't skip the nearby gardens and other tombs like Isa Khan's Tomb – they’re less crowded and equally stunning. It was a nice surprise during my visit.

Be prepared for the security check at the entrance. There was a line, but it moved pretty ched so just be patient. I waited about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad.

I recommend exploring the area around the mosque after your visit. There are some really neat little shops and street food vendors to try out. I found an amazing chai stall nearby!

Bring some snacks and water! There aren’t many food options nearby, and you might get hungry wandering around the exhibits.
