Majnu-Ka-Tila is a Tibetan refugee colony known as Little Tibet of Delhi. It is famous for Tibetan market and Tibetan food. The place got its name from a local Iranian Sufi mystic, Abdulla nicknamed Majnu. He was an ardent devotee of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Majnu ferried people across the Yamuna river for free as a service to God.

The area is best known for its Tibetan restaurants and Tibetan market. There are various street shops that sell everything Tibetan. You can buy colourful tees, flip flops, jeans, shoes and bags from Rs 300 onwards. You can also shop posters of Tibetan deities, posters and figures of Dalai Lama, Tibetan pendants, Chinese and Korean movie CDs and DVDs, and all this for about Rs 100 – Rs 500.

Majnu-Ka-Tila Tibetan Colony (North Delhi) is officially called New Aruna Nagar Colony or Chungtown or Samyeling. It is located on Delhi’s Outer Ring Road (NH-1), near Vidhan Sabha and ISBT Kashmiri Gate.
