Delhi Ridge

Delhi Ridge

An extension of the 1,500 million years old Aravalli range, Delhi Ridge is a dry deciduous forestland in the heart of Delhi. Its prominent role in protecting the capital city against the hot winds of the Rajasthan deserts has earned it the nickname - 'Lungs of Delhi'.

Spread over almost 8,000 hectares, the ridge is divided into four zones known as the Northern Ridge, Southern Ridge, Central Ridge and South Central Ridge. Its whole area houses various historical monuments, biodiversity parks and a wildlife sanctuary. A home to more than 100 avian species, the ridge is one of the best spots in Delhi for birdwatching.
