The topography of New Delhi is relatively flat, typical of the Indo-Gangetic plains, with an average elevation of 216 meters (709 feet) above sea level. The most prominent topographical feature is the Delhi Ridge, a series of low hills acting as the northernmost extension of the Aravalli Range.
* **Highest Point:** The southern reaches of the Delhi Ridge in the broader NCT region peak around 318 meters (1,043 feet) at the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary. * **Lowest Point:** The floodplains of the Yamuna River, which sit at an elevation of roughly 200 meters (656 feet). * **Terrain:** The city is predominantly a level plain, historically highly fertile due to alluvial soils deposited by the Yamuna, though today it is entirely built-up and paved.
