Hauz Khas: Self-Guided Audio Tour

Why Visit Hauz Khas with a Self-Guided Tour?

Hauz Khas is an amalgamation of medieval heritage and modern charm in South Delhi. Its urban village often overshadows the rich history of the 14th-century ruins that give the area its name.

That’s where a self-guided tour transforms your experience. With Tourismo’s immersive audio tour, you can explore the Hauz Khas complex at your own pace while unlocking the fascinating stories behind it.

From Firoz Shah Tughlaq’s visionary reservoir project to the fusion of Indo-Islamic architecture in the madrasa and tomb complex, the guide reveals hidden layers that most visitors miss.
