You can take a short half an hour ride to the Pragati Maidan area - there you can have a look at Crafts museum (http://nationalcraftsmuseum.nic.in/) followed by a stroll at Old Fort which is nearby. (You can take Delhi metro train to go to that area. Just catch it from Karol Bagh and change at Rajiv chowk, get down at Pragati Maidan, avoid peak time until 10.30).

If you still have some more time, you can visit Dilli Haat near AIIMS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilli_Haat) which is another 20 minutes by a metro train. over 8 years ago

If you haven't been to the Lotus Temple, it was one of my favourite things in Delhi. Also, Akshadhram (I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled, you can Google it) is a new Hindu temple built in Delhi. It's absolutely beautiful and there is a lot to do there. over 7 years ago
