Step Back in Time in Old Delhi

Your first stop is Old Delhi, the historic heart of the capital, founded by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century. Here, the narrow, chaotic streets are filled with the aromas of street food, the sound of cycle rickshaws, and the buzz of centuries-old bazaars.

Key Highlights of Old Delhi:

• Red Fort (Lal Qila): A UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of India's history and pride. Walk along its massive red sandstone walls and imagine the imperial grandeur of the Mughal era.

• Jama Masjid: One of the largest mosques in India, capable of holding 25,000 worshippers. Climb its minarets for panoramic views of Old Delhi.

• Chandni Chowk: Dive into the sensory overload of Delhi’s oldest and busiest market. You’ll ride a cycle rickshaw through bustling lanes filled with spices, saris, jewelry, and delicious street food like jalebis and parathas.

• Raj Ghat: The peaceful memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. It’s a quiet space for reflection amid the vibrant chaos of the city.

Discover the Elegance of New Delhi

In contrast to the old city's hustle, New Delhi, designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens, is graceful, spacious, and organized. Here, you’ll see the modern face of India’s capital—one of power, diplomacy, and sophistication.

Key Highlights of New Delhi:

• India Gate: A national monument honoring the soldiers who died in World War I. The surrounding lawns are a favorite local hangout.

• Rashtrapati Bhavan: The official residence of the President of India, set amidst sprawling gardens and wide boulevards.

• Parliament House & Secretariat Buildings: Symbols of democratic India, these iconic colonial-era buildings are a blend of Western and Indian architectural styles.

• Lotus Temple: A breathtaking Bahá'í House of Worship shaped like a blooming lotus. Its serene ambiance invites visitors of all faiths.

• Qutub Minar: Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, this soaring tower built in the 12th century is a masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture.

• Humayun’s Tomb: A precursor to the Taj Mahal, this elegant garden tomb is rich with history and stunning Mughal design.
