Dive into the Charm of Old Delhi
Old Delhi is a bustling labyrinth of tradition and legacy. This part of the city dates back to the Mughal era and is filled with vibrant bazaars, age-old monuments, and spiritual sanctuaries.
Jama Masjid – The Grand Mosque
Your first stop is Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India. Built by Shah Jahan in 1656, its imposing structure and stunning domes are a masterpiece of Mughal architecture. You can even climb the minaret for a panoramic view of Old Delhi.
Rickshaw Ride through Chandni Chowk
Next, hop on a cycle rickshaw and weave through Chandni Chowk, a lively market street filled with colorful shops, spice stalls, jewelry stores, and street food vendors. The chaos is part of the charm, offering a true sensory overload that every traveler should experience once.
Red Fort (Outside View)
Though the tour usually includes an outside view of the Red Fort, you’ll get a chance to hear fascinating stories about this UNESCO World Heritage Site and its importance in India’s fight for independence.
Raj Ghat – Mahatma Gandhi’s Memorial
Pay your respects at Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, this site is a poignant reminder of India’s path to freedom.
Transition to the Elegance of New Delhi
In the second half of your day, explore New Delhi, a planned city developed by the British with wide boulevards, colonial-era buildings, and iconic landmarks.
India Gate and Rajpath
Drive past India Gate, a war memorial built in honor of Indian soldiers who died in World War I. The ceremonial boulevard Rajpath leads to the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House), which you'll also see from the outside.
Humayun’s Tomb – The Inspiration for the Taj Mahal
Visit Humayun’s Tomb, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in 1570, it’s a striking example of Mughal architecture and a precursor to the Taj Mahal. The symmetry, gardens, and quiet ambience make it a peaceful escape from the city buzz.
Qutub Minar – Towering History
Marvel at the Qutub Minar, a 73-meter tall victory tower built in the 12th century. It’s surrounded by ancient ruins, mosques, and inscriptions — a fascinating walk through time and culture.
Lotus Temple (Baháʼí House of Worship)
