Description

Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel, and set off on a journey through the heart of Old Delhi. Your first stop is the majestic Jama Masjid, also known as Masjid-i Jehan-Numa. This grand mosque, built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 1600s, stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Mughal era. As you step inside, you'll be awed by its massive courtyard and intricate design, reflecting the grandeur of a bygone era. Next, hop aboard a tuk-tuk for an exciting ride through the bustling streets of Chandni Chowk, the vibrant core of Old Delhi. This lively market area is a sensory overload, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells that make it a true cultural hub. As you navigate through the narrow lanes, you’ll pass by vendors selling everything from spices and dried fruits to essential oils and traditional Indian sweets. You’ll also find stalls brimming with silver jewelry and colorful saris, offering a glimpse into the local trade and craftsmanship. As you explore Chandni Chowk, your guide will lead you to some of the best street food stalls in the area. Here, you'll have the chance to sample a variety of local delicacies, each bursting with flavor and authenticity. From spicy chaats to sweet jalebis, your taste buds are in for a treat. Your guide will share insights into the best stalls and the unique culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations. After satisfying your taste buds, continue to the iconic Red Fort. This historic fort, another masterpiece by Shah Jahan, looms large as a symbol of India’s rich history. You can choose to pay for entry and explore its vast grounds, or simply admire the fort’s impressive architecture from the outside. Either way, the Red Fort's towering red sandstone walls are sure to leave a lasting impression. The tour concludes with a visit to India Gate, a solemn war memorial that honors the soldiers who lost their lives during World War I. Located on the Rajpath, this imposing structure is one of Delhi’s most famous landmarks, standing proudly at the eastern end of the ceremonial axis of New Delhi, once known as Kingsway. As you take in the grandeur of India Gate, you'll also drive past the stately Parliament House, a key symbol of India's democracy. After an enriching day exploring the cultural and historical treasures of Old Delhi, you’ll be comfortably driven back to your hotel, bringing your memorable tour to a close.
