| Welcome to India's bustling capital city!
Delhi is a delicious contrast of 'old' meets 'new'. With the spacious and planned New Delhi, built as the imperial capital of India by the British and action packed Old Delhi served as the capital of Islamic India. Strolling through the city streets you will experience the ringing bells of bicycle rickshaws to the Mercedes Benz dodging the resting cow in the middle of an intersection. Eating out also poses a multi cultural image from a rich Mughlai curry to a wood fire pizza. On this tour you will encounter the delightful differences this amazing city has to offer.
In the morning, you will be transferred from your hotel and leave for a tour of Old Delhi. You will visit Raj Ghat and Shanti Vana-the cremation sites of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, Jama Masjid - the biggest Mosque in India and drive past the famous Red Fort which is a Moughal Monument made of red sand stone and Chandni Chowk an old and busy market.
After lunch, either at the hotel or any restaurant, (lunch is at own expense) you will visit New Delhi.
In New Delhi you will visit sights such as the impressive Qutub Minar built by Qutub-ud-Din Aibek in 1199 from sandstone and marble, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate (War Memorial Arch) and Lakshminarayan Temple - a modern Hindu Temple. You will drive past the President's House, Parliament House, Government Secretariat Buildings and Connaught Place shopping centre. |
