The area marked as southern ridge forest in google map is basically a restricted area used as a parade ground and is marked as President's Officer's Mess is situated in front of 11 Murti. Visitors are not allowed there without permission and no army personnel present there is aware that any such forest exists there. Basically the ridge forest that I wanted to visit is in Asola known as Asola Bhatti wildlife sanctuary.

This is a hidden unexplored beautiful place but one shouldn't visit this place solo. This place feels like haunted, I will suggest to go in group.

Southern Ridge Forest, is not very navigation friendly on an everyday basis, especially if you have no clue about the ins and outs and other whereabouts of the this part of the ridge in Delhi. A sprawling 6200 hectares of green forest land, it also includes Asola and Bhatti wildlife sanctuaries and is believed to be the least urban of all the segments of the ridge that run through the city. It is also a prime factor for the cold and further dipping temperatures during the famed Delhi Winters towards this side of the city. With such a large expanse in terms of surface area, it is perhaps the largest of the ridges as well.

Southern ridge forest runs along the famous ridge road connecting Shankar road to dhaula kuan, it is next to the infamous budha garden. The garden is for adventure seekers and nature lovers not very easy to locate . If you are there you may spot monkeys, pea cocks , foxes in their natural habitat. Some people visit daily morning to breathe clean in the middle of Delhi pollution.

This place is one of the two ridges in Delhi. Here you will find old trees & such large amount of protected forest that they are called Lungs of Delhi. The ridge is a fanous outing sight for trekkers & joggers who want to get for a jog or run. Beware of monkeys here kindly don't try to irritate the animals if you go past them without any hoot or silently they are harmless just don't try to shout or point at them. Great place for nature lovers. Nearby is Kamla Nagar whete you can find all the delicacies ranging from Indian to western food also. Avoid this place in the noght as there are not a lot of people around at that time. Else it is a safer place because of regular PCR round ups & it being nearby North Campus of Delhi University.
