Qutb Minar and its Monuments, Delhi

I liked everything about the place even the scattered stones,as some renovation work was on the way.You can visit from August to Aprial, as the weather is good and you can have a nice time .

What a site!! A 270 foot tall tower that was built in the 1300's that is still standing. I was quite impressed with the overall cleanliness of the gardens surrounding the tower and the ornateness of the carvings in the mosques that surround the tower. I visited in early February and while it was raining and overcast it was still an excellent trip and I'm glad that I visited.

It's an excellent Piece of work at that time of Life when no modern advance instruments were available for construcion, It is Land Mark of Delhi and as Delhite I am proud of having this Monument in Delhi

Yes, it's a UNESCO World Heritage monument and historically significant. But I do have to say that it does look like a chimney, albeit a pretty one with all the carvings. The ruins of the mosques are beautiful, but a sad reminder of the Muslim destruction of native Hindu culture during its time.

We saved this monument for our last day in Delhi, but in hindsight, it should probably have been among the first that we visited. Qutb Minar is a very impressive site with a magnificent atmosphere. I believe it was built around the 12 century, but it is remarkably well preserved - particularly the tower itself. The grounds themselves are also quite fascinating. Walking around the ruins really gives the visitor the impression that they are transported back to a very different time and place. Many of the buildings that are still standing offer insight into the skill and attention to detail that went into their design. We were fortunate enough to be there during the last hour of sunlight, so we were able to see Qutb Minar bathed in the surreal light that seems to universally blanket India at sunset... Note that you will need to buy your tickets across the street from the entrance. Also note that an hour is probably not enough if you like to take your time walking the grounds, so try to leave yourself at least a couple hours here.

realy amazing minar, it combine history and engineering, its vlaue should be very high. its history is special. it been by qutb ulddin Aibak 1100 AC, beutiful building.problem is poor facilities and surrounding area

Qutb Minar and its group of Monuments are a must-see place when you are in New Delhi. The tower is perfect. Also,great cultural and historical values lie in the ruins of old temples and tombs. However, services for tourists are poor. So, be well-prepared (camera, batteries, drinking water, etc.) before reaching the site. Otherwise you will be charged with cut-throat prices.

Two mosques, including the Quwwatu'l-Islam , the oldest in northern India, are built of materials reused from some 20 Brahman temples. There is also funerary buildings, notably the magnificent Alai-Darwaza Gate, the masterpiece of Indo-Muslim art (built in 1311).

I love this place it was so much fun to tour and it was also fun to explore around the place. A good place to visit is in July! Anyone would enjoy it!!!!
