Geography and Climate

Kishangarh lies in the South West district of Delhi and, like the rest of the city, has a semi-arid climate with a significant difference between summer and winter temperatures. While the summer temperatures may go up to 46 °C, the winters can seem freezing to people used to a warm climate with near 2.5 °C.

The soil of Kishangarh consists of sandy loam to loam texture. The water level has gone down in the recent past hovering between 45 m to 50 m due to rise in population.

Accessibility

Kishangarh was largely considered to be a place cut off from the main city, but in recent years saw rapid progress in this aspect with the Delhi Metro coming to close by Chattarpur and more bus routes added to the area by DTC. The transit to Delhi Metro station has also become easier via Metro feeder buses available at regular intervals.

The nearest metro station is at Chattarpur, situated at Andheria More on the arterial Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road which connects South West Delhi to the suburban area of Gurgaon.
