A baoli is more commonly known as a stepwell which has been around for ages where people would often find respite against the blistering heat. There is one located at Feroz Shah Kotla and it’s exactly what you might imagine it to be. You can take in the rustic beauty of this centuries-old baoli from the top of the structure. While you walk around gazing that the intricate architecture that has withstood the test of time, you might want to whip out your camera and snap up a pretty picture or two!

There are numerous pipes running in the baoli that help in supplying water to the lush green gardens around the area which is an ideal spot to sit and relax when the weather is good. When you visit this place, you might want to carry your binoculars along, to grab a better view of this stepwell, as no one is allowed to enter to avoid freak accidents!

So, if you’re someone who admires these architectural gems then you must visit this lesser-known baoli resting at Feroz Shah Kotla. Pick up your camera and head over to this baoli and watch the magic of solitude unfold in front of you!
