Greater Kailash 1, Delhi

Greater Kailash 1 (GK-1) is one of South Delhi's oldest and most prestigious residential colonies, developed by the Delhi Development Authority and private builders on land acquired from the villages of Zamrudpur and Devli Gaon. It was acquired by the Government of India in 1955 under a large-scale land acquisition plan and later developed into a residential colony by the Delhi Development Authority and private developers. Over the decades it has grown into a coveted enclave, and today the colony is home to well-known politicians, business personalities and people associated with the Bollywood industry.

The locality's biggest draw is its retail heart: GK-1 markets in M and N Block are some of the most popular markets among Delhites and tourists because of its wide range of shopping, restaurants, bars, etc. Beyond the markets, tree-lined streets, low-rise builder floors and independent bungalows give GK-1 a settled, leafy character rarely found so close to the city centre.
