Deer Park

naturefamily
Getting around: In Hauz Khas, south Delhi, reachable by auto-rickshaw or a short walk from Hauz Khas metro station (Yellow Line), or combined with a visit to Hauz Khas Village and the Hauz Khas Complex nearby.
Hours: Open daily, roughly 5am to 8pm.

Deer Park is a large green space in Hauz Khas that, true to its name, houses a fenced deer enclosure along with peacocks and other birdlife, alongside walking trails, a lake, and shaded seating areas. It's a popular local spot for morning walks and weekend relaxation rather than a major tourist landmark.

Its location right next to Hauz Khas Village and the historic Hauz Khas Complex (madrasa and tank ruins) makes it easy to combine into a broader south Delhi outing, especially useful as a quiet green break between the more built-up sightseeing and shopping nearby.
