I visited Qutb Minar as a part of a sight-seeing trip of Delhi, so naturally the operators were more keen on engaging us in more & more shopping! Hence the distinct memory of this place is one of a tiny tidy spot in a crowded and messy locale. Generally Delhi & Qutb Minar are mentioned in one breath - that... more

As far as I know the Minar is off limits to the visiting tourists for quite some time now. Untrained labour are employed to maintain and repair this exquisite monument. Can UNESCO help? more

Qutab Minar stands tall amidst the hubub of the Mehrauli Gurgaon traffic. The Majestic monument is a beacon to people looking for direction, an awesome structure who stands in the garden below to to try and look all the way up, a beautifully lit background to the stage of the bride and bridegroom who choose their wedding to take place... more

Much has been written on the historical importance and grandeur of the Qutb Minar, so I won't repeat it here. It's well worth your time to visit the complex (there's much more to see beyond the tower itself), and here are two tips. 1. Skip the audio guide. I'm a lover of audio guides the world over, but this one... more

Once you manage to find the entrance to this attraction (-the other side of the road from where you pay), and dodge all the usual hawkers etc, it is worth it. Very historic and very tall! Rubbish toilet facilities, as with all other tourist attractions in India. more

When you look at this tall monument, you cannot stop but wonder how one could have built with no cranes/machines. But it is falling off at lot of places and I see no proper effort of restoration. We were there on rainy day and there was water stuck everywhere. Definitely the monument deserves better care. more

Amazing!

When 2 of us visited in December 2005, there was refurbishment construction surrounding the Minaret. That has been completed and when 12 of us visited in December 2008, there is a new area of refurbishment going on. This should not dissuade one from visiting this unique monument. Take a guide and become informed. See the Sundial (it was time-accurate) and... more
