Built around the iconic Hauz Khas Complex, Hauz Khas Village (HKV) is a vibrant artistic neighborhood that promises a unique and unforgettable cultural experience to its visitors. With the word hauz which means “water tank” and khas which means “royal”, the area was originally developed by Sultan Alauddin Khilji in the 13th century as a water reservoir. Later on, Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq built a madrasa and a mosque around the reservoir. The Hauz Khas Complex also houses Feroz Shah’s domed tomb. Besides exploring the ancient Islamic ruins, visitors can also enjoy peaceful strolls and picnics around the Hauz Khas Lake and the Deer Park which offer scenic views as well as a beautiful wildlife experience. Boutique shops offering unique clothing, accessories and handicrafts are scattered throughout the village. With the sunset, Hauz Khas Village bursts into a vibrant nightlife, pulling in both locals and tourists to its trendy bars and clubs. They offer live performances, DJ sessions, and an electric atmosphere ideal for socializing and celebration. Characterized by a mix of ancient ruins and structures, lovely parks, modern cafes and boutiques as well as trendy clubs & bars, Hauz Khas Village is a perfect representation of Delhi’s dynamic identity.
