No crowds. No hassle. Just you and the real Delhi.
Exploring the Heart of Old Delhi
Your first stop is Old Delhi, a chaotic yet charming maze of narrow lanes, rich with history and full of life.
1. Jama Masjid
Start your tour with India’s largest mosque, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1656. Its red sandstone and marble architecture, along with panoramic views from the minaret, make this a must-see.
2. Rickshaw Ride through Chandni Chowk
Take a traditional rickshaw ride through the bustling bazaars of Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in India. Smell the spices, watch artisans at work, and maybe grab a quick snack from a legendary food stall.
3. Red Fort (Drive-By or Visit)
Drive past or stop for photos at the majestic Red Fort, another iconic creation of Shah Jahan and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s especially famous as the place from where India’s independence was declared in 1947.
4. Raj Ghat
Pay respects at Raj Ghat, the simple but powerful memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, where he was cremated in 1948.
Modern Marvels in New Delhi
Now, it's time to shift gears and explore New Delhi, a city planned by British architects in the early 20th century. The roads are wide, the gardens are manicured, and the colonial architecture contrasts sharply with the chaos of Old Delhi.
5. India Gate
This 42-meter-high archway is a war memorial for 70,000 soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. The flame of the immortal soldier burns beneath it.
6. Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's House)
Take in the grandeur of the President's House and Parliament House—monumental colonial-era buildings that symbolize modern Indian governance.
7. Humayun's Tomb
Often considered the inspiration for the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb is a stunning garden tomb built in 1570. It’s peaceful, elegant, and rich in historical significance.
8. Lotus Temple
End your tour with a visit to the Lotus Temple, a Baháʼí House of Worship known for its unique flower-like design and tranquil atmosphere. People of all faiths are welcome to meditate or simply enjoy the calm.
