    A good window is just after 10 am when the first wave has cleared and the sun is not yet at its peak. From the Minar head straight to the Iron Pillar and then Quwwat ul Islam Mosque before the midday rush. If you need a quick break, a stop at Hotel Pluto’s is only about two kilometres away. Afterward you can wander the Mehrauli Archaeological Park and finish near the Lotus Temple.
