The best parks in Delhi for runs, walks and weekend mornings

Delhi is one of India's greenest capitals. Lodhi Garden is the city's favourite running loop, Sunder Nursery next to Humayun's Tomb is made for slow weekend walks, Nehru Park in Chanakyapuri has long jogging paths, and Sanjay Van's Ridge trails are the closest thing to a forest run.

Mornings are easier with company. Join a SyncTrip run or walk and meet people who show up every week.

Good to know

1

Go early in summer

From April to June, run before 7 am. In winter, mid-morning walks are best once the smog lifts.

2

Check the air

On high-AQI days, swap the run for an indoor plan like pickleball or a gaming night.

3

Don't have a group? That's what SyncTrip is for

Open the app, pick the activity and a time, and post it as a plan, or join one someone already posted. People nearby join, you chat in the group, and you meet at the venue.
