#Homecoming:Things To Do In Delhi With Your NRI Fam!Powered by HSBC NRI Services

Give your family a much-awaited grand welcome with only the best in the city. Stop by Delhi’s most exquisite restaurant, Indian Accent, and gorge on Chef Manish Mehrotra’s perfectly put-together menu. Simply, go ahead with the six-course Chef’s tasting menu and be ready to be astonished by the versatility of their contemporary menu. Now, slow down and catch up over your fav drinks at The Library, Leela.  Happy highs, classic reds, and with sommeliers at hand, comfortably seated on their leather sofas among aerial lights, this is the place to be.

Winter is the perfect time to have fun as it's chilly enough to keep you in a good mood and fun enough to go horse riding. Take your first (or not) horse riding lesson at Delhi Riding Club! The best part being that you can pay per ride and have a fun casual session.

If you’re in the mood to shop for some out-of-the-box ethnic wear and trinkets that’ll make you stand out, we’d suggest heading over to Dilli Haat. The artsy, vibrant cultural hub has everything you’ll want, handcrafted decor items, iconic delicacies from different parts of the country, and even the cutesy ‘mela’ feel. And if you’re looking to scout through ritzy brands, then DLF Emporio is the place for you.

The next on our recommendation list is Aheli Spa, you could actually check-in here in a blink as it’s really close to the airport. Receive your guests and check-in for a bespoke experience curated to nourish and rejuvenate! One of the best luxury spas in Delhi, Aheli has a range of suites, a traditional hammam, open verandah, open Thai massage areas, a glass box gym, yoga pavilion, a steam room and sauna.
