DELHI / NEW DELHI (National Capital Territory) -- area code +91-11

General Information

    Delhi, officially National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT) - incorporating fascinating Old Delhi and India's capital, New Delhi - is a vast, well-organized metropolis dotted with lush public parks, exotic Mughal Empire architecture, grand British-colonial showpieces, monumental government structures, shrines large and small to a baffling number of spiritual practices, side-by-side tracts of glittering mega-malls, and a magic carpet of organic urban sprawl woven together over hundreds of years. Rich in history, culture, cuisine, commodities, ethnicities, superstitions, and opinions, Dehli is the proverbial melting pot where a little bit of every part of the subcontinent and its neighbors has been blended into modern India.

    Appealing and relatively easy to get around (except during rush hours), Delhi is also super safe, thanks to teams of ever-vigilant security that look to have been hand-picked from the handsomest of the country's already studly armed services. If you're a fan of hunky, flirty, mustachioed men in uniform, packing (in more than one way), then Delhi's got that added bonus!

Old Dehli (c) 2012 by John Goss
    India's emerging gay scene, while largely still in the shadows, is most active and visible in Delhi. Multiple gay-themed events happen regularly, rotating between various friendly venues and announced by SMS and email rather than promoted publicly. New venues and projects-in-planning are popping up with increasing regularity. Expect much of country's expanding gay and GLBT-friendly business community to be based here.

    The population of Delhi is over 33 million people (that's 1.3 million Utopians).

Bars and Clubs

      Delhi has several gay party organizers who throw gay gatherings on weekends at otherwise straight nightclubs on a changing basis.

    • Peppers
        Chanakya Lane at the Grand Forte (near the site of the now demolished Chanakya Cinema, towards the end of the road), Chanakyapuri, Utopia Map
        2687-8320

        A long-running venue to meet people from the gay community. Small disco on two levels with a gay party every Tues night. G/F with bar stools is noisy, but good for people who like to dance and hook up. Upper level with sofas is better to socialize. Fun, nice people, lots of couples, easy to chat. Gets packed after 11pm. Most of the patrons are locals, with some expatriates mingling in.

Meeting Places

    • Daula Khuan Park

    • Jheel Park
        Dhaula Kuan Metro Station (exit and walk east to the bus stop), Utopia Map

        The park, in the vicinity of the Dhaula Kuan bus stop, is super active in the afternoons (it is not safe at night) with hundreds of men of all ages who, waiting for their bus connections (sometimes for hours), wander around the park looking for connections (which happen almost instantly as you enter the park). The term MSM was seemingly coined to describe this scene.

    • Kashmiri Gate

    • Maharadja Aggarsen Park
        Between Lala Hardev Marg and Gokhale Marg

        Action possible at night after 8pm, but beware of roaming cops. Along the park are several cruisy facilities on Lala Hardev Marg.

    • Nehru Park
        Chankyapuri, Utopia Map

        At the corner which is closest to the Ashok Hotel Convention Hall entrance. Favorite cruising spot (particularly on Sun evenings), although be cautious and make sure you don't carry valuables. Peak hours are 6-8pm.

    • Park close to Lado Sarai
        Utopia Map

        Enter from the gate next the Wholesale Flower Market on Mehrauli-Gurgaon Rd. The park has some nice monuments and wonderful walks. Easy encounters are possible, although be cautious and make sure you don't carry valuables. Don't hang around too late after it gets dark.

    • Park on the Ring Rd close to the Hyatt Regency
        Utopia Map

        Look for Fire Brigade office. The park gate is just opposite (next to the taxi stand). Easy encounters are possible, although be cautious and make sure you don't carry valuables. Don't hang around too late after it gets dark.
