A ridge forest and part of the Aravalli Range. There are multiple entry and exit points, but the ones at the Qutub Institutional Area and Neela Hauz Bridge near Vasant Kunj provide the easiest access and the least confusion. You are advised to wear shoes and full-length trousers as protection against the thorny shrubbery and to take sufficient fluids and snacks, as there is no kiosk or shop in the quiet of the woods.
JNU; जवाहरलाल नेहरू विश्वविद्यालय Javāharlāl Nehrū Viśvavidyālay
Not usually considered a "place of interest" for tourists, this one-of-a-kind campus of the premier National University of India remains a hidden gem of the city. The campus is hilly and rocky and some areas look more like a jungle with peacocks. The hostels represent the geographical vastness of India as they are named after Indian Rivers. For instance Godavari and Ganga. Specific areas of the campus are named after a particular geographical region in India. For instance Uttarakhand and Dakshinapuram. Some of the non-scholarly attractions of India's best University include 24x7, an open aired restaurant.

The mosque is surrounded by enclosure walls; one of these walls is shared with that of the dargah, while the southern wall opens to the burial enclosure, also made of marble.
