We all know Greater Kailash comes in parts. Last time we took you through GK 1, and now we’re here to bring you a Greater Kailash 2 guide. Since it does get confusing to recognise them as separate areas, here’s an easy way to distinguish it from Greater Kailash-1: GK-2 is basically its younger sibling. Quieter, slightly less commercial, not as immediately thought of but just as well-loved. It’s a neighbourhood with charming nostalgia that only grows through the decades, supported by a blend of residential elegance, convenient markets, serene neighbourhood parks, and a close-knit lived-in community. In 2025, GK 2 withstands all competition to remain one of South Delhi’s most desirable areas across demographics spanning young families, older families and even returning NRIs.
