Old Delhi Tour
Your adventure begins in Old Delhi, where centuries of Mughal history meet lively bazaars.

Then, dive into the bustling energy of Chandni Chowk, riding a traditional rickshaw through its narrow lanes overflowing with spice shops, textiles, and local vendors. The air is filled with aromas and colors that truly capture the spirit of Old Delhi.
From here, enjoy an exterior view of the Red Fort, the grand fortress of Mughal emperors that dominates the skyline with its towering red sandstone walls. Conclude this part of your tour at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a serene Sikh temple where you'll experience the spiritual atmosphere and witness the community kitchen that serves free meals to tens of thousands every day.

In sharp contrast, New Delhi unfolds with wide boulevards, colonial architecture, and modern landmarks. Begin at the Lotus Temple, an architectural masterpiece of the Baháʼí faith, open to all as a symbol of peace and harmony. Next, explore the elegant Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO site and the inspiration for the Taj Mahal.
Drive past the India Gate, a war memorial honoring fallen soldiers of World War I, and continue to the grand Presidential Palace (Rashtrapati Bhavan) and the Parliament House, where India's political life thrives.
The journey continues to the stunning Qutub Minar, a 12th-century UNESCO site and the tallest brick minaret in the world. Your exploration ends at the serene Lodhi Gardens, home to beautiful tombs set amid lush greenery, and the hidden Agrasen ki Baoli, an ancient stepwell tucked away in the city center.
