📍 About Hauz Khas Metro Station
Hauz Khas Metro Station is a landmark underground station in South Delhi, located on the Outer Ring Road at the junction of Aurobindo Marg and Khelgaon Marg. It holds the distinction of being the deepest station in the entire Delhi Metro network — 29 metres (95 feet) below ground — which means escalators and lifts play a critical role in passenger flow.
The station is an important interchange — the Yellow Line (connecting Gurgaon to Samaypur Badli) meets the Magenta Line (connecting Botanical Garden Noida to Janakpuri West) here. This makes it the fastest metro link between Gurugram and Noida, saving approximately 30 minutes compared to going via Rajiv Chowk.
The surrounding locality is famous for Hauz Khas Village — Delhi's chicest urban village — known for boutique fashion stores, art galleries, rooftop cafes, the 14th-century Hauz Khas Complex reservoir and tombs, and Deer Park. It also serves IIT Delhi, Sarvapriya Vihar, Mayfair Gardens, Vijay Mandal Enclave, and Green Park Extension.
📍 About Kashmere Gate Metro Station
Kashmere Gate Metro Station is arguably the most important interchange in the entire Delhi Metro network — and officially one of the busiest in India. It connects three metro lines across three different levels: the elevated Red Line, and two underground lines — the Yellow Line and the Violet Line. With 6 tracks and multiple platforms, navigating the station takes a few minutes, so plan accordingly when making connections.
The station is located at Lothian Road, near the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT Kashmere Gate) — Delhi's largest bus terminus, connecting the capital to hundreds of cities across North India. The historic Kashmere Gate monument — a Mughal-era gate that witnessed the historic 1857 Uprising — stands just a few minutes away.
Surrounding the station are vibrant localities including Civil Lines (home to several colonial-era bungalows and elite schools), Old Delhi, the Delhi University North Campus zone (reachable via Red Line), and major bus hubs. It is a key hub for anyone travelling to Rohini, Rithala, Faridabad, or East Delhi.
