Why go

The practical choice is how to pace open-air sites such as the Red Fort, Qutb Minar and Lodhi Gardens. In the hotter months, break a monument day with an indoor stop; during the monsoon, allow flexibility for rain rather than building a tight outdoor circuit.

Useful to know

For hot-weather days, place exposed monuments in the more comfortable part of your day and leave room for a sheltered stop.
Build flexibility into walks near the Yamuna and other outdoor sites during the monsoon.
