Old Delhi – Where Time Stands Still

Welcome to Old Delhi, the heartbeat of the capital and a place where the past still lingers in every alley.

1. Jama Masjid – The Grand Mosque

One of the largest mosques in India, Jama Masjid is an architectural marvel built by Shah Jahan. It can hold over 25,000 people and offers a stunning panoramic view of Old Delhi from its minarets.

Pro Tip: Climb up one of the towers if you’re feeling adventurous—the view is so worth it.

2. Rickshaw Ride through Chandni Chowk

Next, you’ll hop on a cycle rickshaw and glide through the tangled lanes of Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in India.

Smell the spices, hear the calls of street vendors, see glittering saris and jewelry—it’s a sensory overload in the best way possible. Don’t forget to try some local snacks or sweets along the way!

3. Red Fort – A Mughal Masterpiece

From the bustling streets, you’ll arrive at the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former residence of Mughal emperors. Its red sandstone walls are a testament to India’s royal past.

Your guide will walk you through its courtyards, palaces, and halls, bringing centuries-old stories back to life.

New Delhi – Elegance and Modernity

With full bellies and curious minds, you now head into New Delhi, the more structured, colonial side of the city with wide boulevards and iconic landmarks.

4. Humayun’s Tomb – The Inspiration Behind the Taj Mahal

A true Mughal gem, Humayun’s Tomb predates the Taj Mahal and actually inspired its design. Set in peaceful gardens, it’s a breath of fresh air and a beautiful place for photos and quiet reflection.

5. Qutub Minar – Towering Through Time

Next stop: Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world and another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 12th century, it’s surrounded by ancient ruins that tell the tale of Delhi’s early Islamic rulers.

6. India Gate – Honoring the Brave

Drive past India Gate, Delhi’s war memorial that honors the soldiers of the British Indian Army. It's surrounded by lush gardens and often filled with families, picnics, and photographers.

7. Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament House

Take in the grand architecture of Lutyens' Delhi, including the Presidential Residence and Parliament House. You’ll get to admire these British-era buildings from the outside while your guide shares the stories behind their construction and role in modern India.
