Treat yourself to a natural adventure within the capital and reconnect for a bit with the wild earth. INTO THE WOODS Delhi was built where a blade of ancient sandstone reaches towards the Yamuna river. Most of this slightly higher area of land is covered by city now, but a handful of large forest areas remain. In the south of the city you can visit sanjay Van for a respite from the relentlessly urban environment. The forest has changed dramatically over the years, especially due to a Mexican acacia tree gone rampant.
