Exploring the Charm of Old Delhi
Red Fort (Drive Pass or Photo Stop)
A symbol of India’s rich history, the massive red sandstone fort was once the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Though entry may be skipped due to time constraints, you’ll stop for a photo opportunity and a brief history.
Jama Masjid
One of the largest mosques in India, Jama Masjid is a stunning example of Mughal architecture. The massive courtyard can accommodate over 25,000 people and gives you a glimpse into the Islamic heritage of Old Delhi.
Rickshaw Ride in Chandni Chowk
This is where Old Delhi truly comes alive. Hop on a traditional rickshaw and ride through the narrow, chaotic, and colorful streets of Chandni Chowk—Delhi’s oldest and busiest market. From spice bazaars to sweet shops, every turn holds something new and fascinating.
Raj Ghat
Pay homage at Raj Ghat, the serene memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by peaceful gardens, it’s a stark contrast to the bustling streets just outside.
Delving Into the Elegance of New Delhi
India Gate
A grand war memorial reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, India Gate stands tall to honor Indian soldiers who died in World War I. It’s a popular photo spot and a symbol of national pride.
Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House)
Drive past the official residence of the President of India. The grandeur and symmetry of this colonial-era structure are impressive, especially when viewed from Rajpath.
Parliament House and Government Buildings
Marvel at the impressive architecture of Lutyens’ Delhi, where British colonial design meets Indian traditions. These stately buildings are the administrative heart of India.
Humayun’s Tomb
Often called the forerunner of the Taj Mahal, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a masterpiece of Persian-influenced Mughal architecture and lush gardens. It’s peaceful, grand, and full of historic importance.
Qutub Minar
End your day at Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world. This 12th-century monument is surrounded by ancient ruins and lush lawns, perfect for a relaxing end to your historic journey.
Midday Break: Traditional Indian Lunch
During the tour, you’ll take a break to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local, hygienic restaurant serving authentic North Indian or Mughlai cuisine. Whether you’re craving butter chicken, dal makhani, or naan fresh from the tandoor, this meal will be a highlight in itself.
