Hauz Khas Village

South Delhi's hippest enclave

Word to the wise: If you're travelling solo, or simply just keen to learn more about the area, the Kunzum Travel Cafe is a top spot to glean some info.
Noteworthy for: There's great shopping here - check out the knock-down priced original Bollywood posters in the many curiosity shops.

Hauz Khas Village is quite the place to be in Delhi right now. Once a sleepy little corner in the south-west of the city, it has now found its place inside the little black books of savvy globetrotters.
What makes the area so popular? A smattering of the city's best new eateries - Gunpowder, Yeti, The Living Room Cafe and The Grey Garden - helps, as do the mini-boutiques, bookshops, and art galleries that are scattered through the lanes. Best of all is the laid-back atmosphere; here, visitors can expect less hassle than in other areas of the city, pedestrian-friendly streets and a few 13th century monuments thrown in for good measure.

The city's young and bohemian types can't get enough of Hauz Khas Village, so if you're keen to mingle with artists, designers and fashionistas, this is the place to base yourself.
