Panipat Museum: Kala Amb, situated just outside Panipat, is a site of great historical importance. This is where the third battle of Panipat took place between the Maratha warriors and the Afghan army. Today, the area is a serene park that attracts visitors with its tranquil atmosphere. The park is being developed and beautified by the society in Panipat, and an annual event is organized to pay tribute to the courageous soldiers who lost their lives.

Tomb of Bu-Ali Shah Kalandar: The Tomb of Bu-Ali Shah Kalandar, also known as Dargah of Shah Kalandar Khizar Khan, is a beautiful mausoleum constructed in the Mughal era to honour the famous Sufi saint Hazrat Shareefuddin Bu Ali Shah Qalandar. Although largely unexplored, its architecture matches that of other famous shrines like Ajmer Dargah and Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah. The tomb is thronged annually in the famous festival of Urs by devotees of all classes and religions. If you're planning a trip to Panipat, this is one destination you should consider adding to your itinerary.

Kabuli Bagh Mosque: Kabuli Bagh is a garden and mosque built by Babur to honour his wife, Mussammat Kabuli Begum. Later, Humayun added a masonry platform to the site to commemorate his victory over Salem Shah near Panipat. The platform is called "Chabutra" Fateh Mubarak and bears the inscription 934 Hijri (A.D.1557).

Devi Temple: Nestled on the banks of a vast tank lies a magnificent Devi Temple, revered and dedicated to a powerful local deity. Moreover, a magnificent Shiva temple stands tall, believed to have been erected by none other than the Maratha warrior Mangal Raghunath, who chose to stay in Panipat even after the fierce battles had ceased.

Kala Amb: Kala Amb, located 8 km away from Panipat, is a historical site of great significance as it witnessed the third battle of Panipat between the Maratha warriors and the Afghan army. However, today, the area is a peaceful park with a calming aura that attracts visitors. The site is being developed and beautified by society in Panipat, and an annual event is organized to honour the brave soldiers who lost their lives.

Grave of Ibrahim Lodhi: Ibrahim Lodhi, the Afghan Sultan of Delhi, was defeated and killed by Babur in the First Battle of Panipat in April 1526. The simple rectangular tomb of Ibrahim Lodhi is situated near the Dargah of Sufi saint Bu Ali Shah Qalandar and was relocated in 1866 during the construction of the Grand Trunk Road by the British, who also renovated it with an inscription commemorating the Sultan's death in the battle.
