Overview

Enjoy the hidden trails of Delhi

The Asola wildlife sanctuary, situated between Delhi and Faridabad is a beautiful forest area with a number of lakes in it. Till recently, the forest wasn’t on most maps and it was one of those places that couldn’t be found except by those who already knew where it is. In recent times, the lakes and the forest area have become one of the favorite haunts of off-road cyclists, hikers and runners.
