India is one of the biggest countries in the world and also one with most inhabitants. Despite this, there aren’t that many famous rooftop bars.
But seek, and you shall find. We have assembled a list to the 7 best rooftop bars in India. Many of them from the bigger cities, like Mumbai and Delhi.
The warm and pleasant year-round climate makes it possible for all rooftops to be open 12 months a year. Enjoy our list of the best rooftops in India here:
Located o the roof of the Ansal Plaza, Delhi's first shopping mall, The Sky High is a peculiar location.

With space for over 150 people, The Sky High can get crowded, but the service is top-notch even when the terrace is full.
