Delhi is where Paire started. The city mixes centuries-old monuments with some of India's best cafés, which makes it one of the easiest places in the country to plan a good first date.

First-date ideas in Delhi
Lodhi Garden: a long walk among 15th-century tombs, busy with walkers in the morning and evening, with Khan Market's cafés a few minutes away
Sunder Nursery: landscaped gardens next to Humayun's Tomb; relaxed, green and great for conversation
Hauz Khas: the Deer Park and lake for a walk, then the village's cafés and bookshops
Connaught Place: central, on the Metro, and full of places to eat; easy to leave whenever you like
Dilli Haat (INA): crafts stalls and food from every state, so there's always something to talk about
Majnu ka Tilla: Tibetan cafés and momos; casual and fun for a second date
Getting there and back
The Delhi Metro reaches most date spots and is the easiest way to travel on your own. For late evenings use a ride app and share the trip with a friend.
Staying safe on a first date in Delhi
Meet somewhere public and busy for the first date, and get there on your own.
In winter it gets dark early: plan daytime or early-evening meetings, and choose places near a Metro station.
Tell a friend who you're meeting and where. Share your live location if you like.
Keep the chat on Paire until you're comfortable. Never send money, OTPs or "investment" help to someone you've just met. See common dating scams.
