Itinerary

1. Delhi City Tour

   • After breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel or the guide will meet you at the agreed location. Then, the guide will take you around the Old and New Delhi city tour. 
   • We will cross the city and into the walled gates of the Old City, we will visit the Jamma Mosque (1650) and drive through the fabled area of Chandni Chowk (aptly translates to Moonlight Square) where the throngs of shoppers and vendors meet in the oldest area of Delhi. The highlight of this tour would be a ride on cycle rickshaws. Now, these are 3-wheel cycles with a sofa seat at the back. The Rickshawalla (Rickshaw driver) sits on a small cushion in the front and two passengers on the sofa seat behind. This is a remarkable way to explore and picture the hustle and bustle as well as the colour of the narrow winding streets bursting with people and pavement shops selling wares of all descriptions - including a laughing set of dentures. The ride would be accompanied by peals of laughter both from the passengers as well as the onlookers.
   • Next, go to the Raj Ghat and nearby ghats where the founder of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi and thereafter Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were cremated.
   • In the afternoon, we will proceed to Humayun’s Tomb (1586) and Qutub Minar- 72 meters high and one of the most perfect towers in the Persian world. The Iron Pillar has survived the vagaries of weather for over 1500 years. 
   • Continue with a drive through the Embassy area and the Government buildings (1921-1930).
   • Afterwards, we will move to National War Memorial, from where you can easily see India Gate.
   • During the tour of Delhi, if you want to do some shopping, the guide will take you to Handicraft Emporiums where you can get the best souvenirs.
