Itinerary
-
Visit various attractions in Old Delhi
- Meet your tour guide at your hotel and proceed for your Old Delhi City Tour by rickshaw (Indian cart operated by feet). Old Delhi came into existence when Mughal Emperor Shahjahan shifted the capital to Delhi from Agra.
- Visit the Jama Masjid, the mosque built by Shahjahan, which can hold up to 30000 worshipers at a time on Friday. Take some time out and roam around the red sandstone building’s courtyard, the sun rays falling upon the domes reflect tranquillity that has a soothing effect upon your soul.
- See the Chawri Bazaar, the Indian wedding market filled with hustle and bustle.
- Proceed to the Kinari Bazaar, a hub of every fashion designer, from beads to laces related to decorative items. All can be found under one umbrella.
- Enter the Khari Baoli- Asia’s greatest spice market. From herbs to dry fruits to tea leaf, all can be found here. Large rugs filled up to the brim, bloom with red chillies, nuts and other spices.
- Ride towards Chandani Chowk. Your rickshaw ride will drive past English time’s town hall via Chandani Chowk. Earlier in mid-19th Century, the area of Chandani Chowk was the battlefield, which witnessed the first Indian Mutiny, also called Sepoy Mutiny during the colonial time.
- Drive past Sheeshganj Sikh temple, where the ninth Guru of Sikhs was martyred, as he refused to accept Islam conversion. Thereon, you will get a chance to peep through 1200 years old Shiva temple. The scenery is a stimulant for snapshots.
- See the red coloured Jain Temple (another sect of Jain religion is called Digambra).
- Take a look across the street to see the strikingly admirable Red Fort. Brilliant in appearance, distinguished by its architecture, the fort was built by Emperor Shahjahan. We will have a stop here for the wonderful photography of the outside view.
