Dive into the Heart of Old Delhi
Old Delhi is a living museum of the Mughal era—narrow lanes, ancient bazaars, and historic landmarks. Your first stop is usually Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India. With its grand domes and red sandstone façade, it's a powerful glimpse into Delhi’s Islamic heritage.
Next comes a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, the bustling market that’s been around since the 17th century. Expect a sensory overload—spices in the air, colorful fabrics, street vendors yelling out deals, and a sea of people all around. This part of the tour is chaotic in the best way possible—raw, real, and incredibly authentic.
You’ll also get to visit the Red Fort from the outside—its imposing walls and majestic gates giving a taste of Mughal grandeur.
A Taste of Delhi
Before transitioning to New Delhi, you’ll be treated to a traditional North Indian lunch at a local restaurant. The food is carefully selected to suit both local and international palates—flavorful but not overwhelming, authentic yet comfortable.
Explore Elegant New Delhi
Once you’ve had your fill, it’s time to explore the clean, green, and spacious parts of New Delhi. First up is India Gate, a war memorial that honors the soldiers of the British Indian Army. The surrounding gardens and broad avenues offer a peaceful change of pace from Old Delhi's chaos.
Next, you’ll visit Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House) and Parliament House, two architectural wonders that symbolize India’s democratic heart. Though these are viewable only from outside, the grandeur of these buildings and the tree-lined roads around them leave a lasting impression.
Spiritual Stops and Historical Sights
Your tour also includes visits to important spiritual sites. The Lotus Temple, with its stunning flower-like architecture, welcomes people of all faiths and is a serene spot to reflect. Then there’s Humayun’s Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal.
Another highlight is the Qutub Minar, a 73-meter-high tower that has stood tall since the 12th century. Surrounded by ancient ruins, it’s both a photographer’s dream and a historian’s delight.
Expert Guidance All the Way
Throughout the tour, your guide shares fascinating stories, local legends, and historical facts that breathe life into each site. It’s not just about seeing places—it’s about understanding their significance and how they shaped Delhi into what it is today.
