Itinerary
1
Ugrasen ki Baoli
Pickup from centrally located delhi hotels, then proceed to "Agrasen ki Baoli" which is definitely an architectural marvel. It has three stories and 108 steps which goes down to the well. Agrasen Ki Baoli also has a resemblance to the baolis or baodis (stepwells) in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The water inside the well of Agrasen Ki Baoli is said to hypnotise people and allure them to commit suicide. It is said that the well had black water, which mysteriously killed people. People don’t go there in the evenings due to the stories abouth place as being haunted.

After visiting the stepwell, proceed further to visit The land of the "Dhobis" (traditional washer-men) comes alive every morning with the sound of clothes being beaten against concrete slabs. The Yamuna river is far, so the ghat relies on borewell water, chilamchis (cement tubs), hauds (tanks), naandis (pools) and hydras, electric machines that soak out water. In an age when washing machines have become part of households, why do people still give their clothes to dhobis? Actually most people clean their clothes in washing machines, but for major cleaning, they rely on Dhobis.
