Exploring Old Delhi: A Walk Through History

Your journey kicks off in Old Delhi, the heart of the city’s Mughal legacy. The first stop is Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century. With its red sandstone courtyard, towering minarets, and peaceful ambiance, it’s a must-see landmark.

From here, hop on a traditional rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in India. This narrow maze of lanes is packed with spice shops, fabric stalls, jewelry stores, and sweet shops. It’s chaotic, colorful, and completely captivating—a true taste of India’s street culture.

Just a short ride away lies the Red Fort, another architectural gem built by Shah Jahan. While you may admire it from outside due to time constraints, your guide will provide fascinating insights into its history as the seat of Mughal power.

Also in Old Delhi, you’ll visit Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by trees and eternal flames, it offers a moment of calm and reflection in the midst of the city’s energy.

Diving into New Delhi: Grandeur and Government

After soaking in the heritage of Old Delhi, your tour transitions into New Delhi, designed by the British during colonial rule. This part of the city is more spacious, modern, and marked by wide roads, elegant buildings, and green parks.

Your first stop is the stunning India Gate, a war memorial that honors the soldiers of World War I. Nearby stands the President’s House (Rashtrapati Bhavan) and Parliament House, showcasing the grandeur of British colonial architecture.

Next, you’ll head to Humayun’s Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the architectural inspiration behind the Taj Mahal. Its peaceful gardens and beautiful Persian-style design offer a striking contrast to the bustling city outside.

Another highlight of New Delhi is the towering Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world. Surrounded by ancient ruins and intricate carvings, it’s a photographer’s dream and a symbol of Delhi’s layered history.

You’ll also stop at the serene Lotus Temple, known for its stunning flower-shaped structure and open-door policy for people of all faiths. Whether you're spiritual or not, the tranquility here is something truly special.
