A social media user, Yukti, sparked a lively online debate when she declared that Delhi is a boring city. She claimed that there are no water bodies, trails, hikes, or scenic places to enjoy in Delhi, leaving only eating as the sole activity.
This assertion did not sit well with Delhiites, who were quick to defend their city. They pointed out Delhi’s captivating history and architectural wonders, inviting Yukti to explore the Mughal marvels and chronicles of India’s freedom struggle. Some users suggested visiting Lodhi Garden or Hauz Khas for trails and hikes, refuting Yukti’s claim of no trails or hikes.
However, one user sarcastically suggested the Ghazipur landfill as a hiking destination, highlighting the vastness and diversity of Delhi’s topography. Another user echoed Yukti’s disappointment, lamenting the lack of safe trails and the closure of beautiful monuments at night. They also praised Delhi’s vibrant night scene but acknowledged its limitations due to closures.
In a follow-up post, Yukti expressed gratitude for the suggestions and requested recommendations for specific places that meet her criteria of being pleasant, safe, peaceful, not overly crowded, and free from shady or inappropriate activities. This request demonstrates a genuine desire to explore Delhi’s hidden gems and experience the city’s diverse offerings.
