We began our journey from Begumpul RRTS Station, boarding the Namo Bharat train towards Sarai Kale Khan RRTS Station. After reaching Sarai Kale Khan, take Exit Gate No. 1 and walk towards Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro Station via Gate No. 3. From here, board the Delhi Metro Pink Line towards Majlis Park. Get down at Lajpat Nagar Metro Station and interchange to the Violet Line. Then take the metro towards Escorts Mujesar / Raja Nahar Singh.
Finally, deboard at Kalkaji Mandir Metro Station. From here, the Lotus Temple is just a short 5-minute walk (around 200–300 meters) ahead, making it extremely convenient for travellers.
