Morning Tour – Discovering Old Delhi

Pickup from Your Hotel

Your day begins with a warm welcome from your driver and guide. After a quick briefing, you’re off to the historic heart of the city: Old Delhi.

Jama Masjid – India’s Largest Mosque

Your first stop is Jama Masjid, a majestic mosque built by Shah Jahan in the 17th century. With its towering minarets and massive courtyard, it’s a peaceful yet powerful place to reflect and snap a few stunning shots.

Don’t forget to climb one of the minarets for a panoramic view of Old Delhi!

Rickshaw Ride Through Chandni Chowk

Ready for some fun? Hop on a traditional cycle rickshaw and ride through the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s most famous market. It’s a sensory explosion — colorful fabrics, sizzling street food, ancient spice shops, and nonstop action.

This is the soul of Old Delhi. Gritty, chaotic, authentic — and utterly unforgettable.

Red Fort (Drive Past or Visit Inside)

You’ll either pass by or optionally enter the mighty Red Fort, another masterpiece from the Mughal era. Its red sandstone walls have witnessed centuries of history, from emperors to independence speeches.

Raj Ghat – Mahatma Gandhi’s Memorial

A short drive takes you to Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial of Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by gardens, this black marble platform marks the spot of his cremation. A place for reflection and respect.

Afternoon Tour – Exploring New Delhi

After diving deep into Old Delhi’s past, it’s time for the wide roads and leafy boulevards of New Delhi, built by the British and home to India’s government and embassies.

India Gate – War Memorial Arch

Your first stop is the India Gate, a massive stone arch built in memory of Indian soldiers who died in World War I. The eternal flame burns beneath it, and the surrounding lawns are always buzzing with life.

Great spot for photos and a quick stroll.

Rashtrapati Bhavan – The Presidential Palace

You’ll drive by the grand Presidential Palace, formerly the Viceroy’s House. Its colonial architecture is a mix of Indian and European styles, and it sits atop Raisina Hill with a commanding view.

Parliament House & Secretariat Buildings

As you cruise through Lutyens’ Delhi, admire the wide streets and majestic buildings that define India’s political power center.

Humayun’s Tomb – Mughal Beauty Pre-Taj Mahal

Often called the inspiration for the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb is a blend of Persian and Mughal architecture. Set in a serene garden, it’s a quiet contrast to Delhi’s usual chaos — perfect for history lovers and photographers.

Qutub Minar – India’s Tallest Stone Tower

Next up is the Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Delhi’s most famous landmarks. Built in the 12th century, it’s an impressive symbol of the city’s medieval Islamic history.

Lotus Temple (Baháʼí House of Worship)

Time permitting, the final stop is the peaceful Lotus Temple, known for its flower-like architecture and open-to-all spirituality. It’s a place of silence, meditation, and universal unity — a fitting end to a diverse day.

Optional Lunch Break – Taste of Delhi

At midday, you can choose to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. From rich curries to sizzling kebabs and fresh naan, the food scene in Delhi is a tour in itself. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are available.

Don’t forget dessert — maybe some Gulab Jamun or Jalebi?

Back to Your Hotel – Tour Ends with Memories

After a full day of exploration, you’ll be dropped back to your hotel by early evening. You’ll be tired, sure — but more importantly, you’ll feel enlightened, entertained, and inspired by the capital’s unique contrasts and characters.
