If you think you have to travel to Nainital or the mountains to enjoy boating, think again. There are several places in Delhi where you can enjoy boating with family and friends. Especially during the summer and on weekends, people flock to these spots seeking both relaxation and fun. The historic Purana Qila (Old Fort) is currently one of the most popular destinations for this activity.

Here, you can enjoy pedal boat and small boat rides on the lake. The surrounding greenery and the scenic view of the Old Fort give visitors a feel reminiscent of Nainital. The atmosphere is particularly delightful in the evening, as people enjoy boating on the water amidst a gentle breeze. As for the cost, the boat ride is priced at ₹120 per person for a 15-minute session; a life jacket and necessary instructions are also provided.

**Boating facilities are available at these locations too**

Apart from Purana Qila, Sanjay Lake in South Delhi is another excellent option for boating. People visit here for strolls in the morning and evening. The open surroundings and greenery around the lake offer a welcome respite from the city's hustle and bustle.
Additionally, Bhalswa Lake is a great spot for those wishing to spend time in a peaceful environment; the open area and the view of the water attract many visitors. Meanwhile, many residents of Delhi-NCR also head to Damdama Lake. It offers not just boating but also various adventure activities, making it a favorite destination for spending weekends with family and friends.

**Best for family outings**
With children's summer vacations now underway, if you are unable to travel out of Delhi, you can take your kids to visit these lakes within the city. A major advantage is that there is no entry fee. If you go boating, you will be charged only for that activity. Apart from this, the lake is perfect for a family outing; here, you can enjoy boating as well as food and drinks.
