Near the spiritual quarters of Delhi, lies a red stoned Mughal architectural wonder, The Humayun’s Tomb. The emperors’ wife Hamida Banu Begum built the tomb in the year 1572 after his death. The Persian architect, Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, designed this UNESCO World Heritage monument.
Weekend was approaching, it was a humid September morning and I planned to make an escape to the hills. What could be better than the most popular hill resort of India?

I went to the Andaman Islands with my family last year and while coming back to Delhi we had a 5-hour layover at the Chennai airport. We decided to turn this going-to-be-boring layover into an adventurous one by exploring as much of the city as possible in the given 5 hours.
