Tour Highlights and Itinerary

Your Delhi exploration begins at Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques showcasing Mughal architecture at its finest. The towering minarets and peaceful courtyards provide insight into 17th-century Islamic design.

Experience Old Delhi's authentic atmosphere with a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk's narrow lanes. Navigate the spice market where colours and aromas tell the story of Delhi's trading heritage. The contrast becomes apparent as you move to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a significant Sikh temple where you can observe the community kitchen serving thousands daily.

The afternoon focuses on Delhi's UNESCO sites and colonial legacy. Humayun's Tomb demonstrates early Mughal garden tomb design that influenced the Taj Mahal's creation. Drive past India Gate, the war memorial standing at the heart of New Delhi's planned avenues, before viewing Parliament House and the President's residence from outside.

Your day concludes at Qutub Minar, the world's tallest brick minaret, and the contemporary Lotus Temple, designed in the shape of a lotus flower and open to people of all faiths for meditation.
