Nestled
in
the
South
Central
Ridge
of
Delhi,
the
Aravali
Biodiversity
Park
is
a
sprawling
oasis
of
greenery
that
spans
nearly
700
acres.
It
is
located
near
the
posh
neighborhoods
of
Vasant
Kunj
and
Vasant
Vihar,
but
reaching
it
can
be
tricky.
Google
Maps
may
direct
you
to
take
a
narrow
and
congested
route
from
Basant
Lok,
which
can
be
quite
frustrating.
A
better
option
is
to
drive
from
Vasant
Kunj
Pocket
C,
past
the
prestigious
Delhi
Public
School
and
the
Teri
Institute,
and
then
follow
the
signs
to
the
park
entrance.
The
best
part
is
that
you
don’t
have
to
pay
anything
to
enter
this
natural
paradise.
The
park
is
open
for
a
few
hours
in
the
morning
and
then
again
in
the
afternoon,
depending
on
the
season.
This
is
the
same
for
all
the
biodiversity
parks
in
Delhi,
which
aim
to
conserve
and
restore
the
native
flora
and
fauna
of
the
region.
Once
you
are
inside,
you
can
choose
any
of
the
winding
trails
that
crisscross
the
park
and
explore
its
diverse
habitats.
You
will
find
grasslands,
woodlands,
wetlands,
and
even
a
butterfly
conservatory.
However,
there
are
no
facilities
like
benches,
water
fountains,
or
shops
inside
the
park.
So
make
sure
you
carry
your
own
water
bottle,
wear
comfortable
shoes,
and
be
prepared
to
enjoy
the
sights
and
sounds
of
nature.
You
will
be
rewarded
with
glimpses
of
colorful
birds,
butterflies,
flowers,
and
trees
that
will
make
you
forget
you
are
in
a
bustling
city.
