Upon arrival at Delhi International airport, you will be met by our representative at the exit gate. He will assist you in boarding the vehicle and transferring to the hotel.

Delhi, the capital of kingdoms and empires, is now a sprawling metropolis with a fascinating blend of the past and the present. Delhi is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the imperial city of New Delhi, created by the British Raj, is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings. Delhi is a perfect introduction to the composite culture of an ancient land and a window to the kaleidoscope - that is India.

Later in the day, after wash and change, proceed for a combined city tour of Old and New Delhi.

The tour will begin with a visit to Rajghat, a simple memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, considered to be the Father of the Nation.
This will be followed by a drive past the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid.
The tour will continue to New Delhi, a legacy left by the British, who built this as their capital. This will be an orientation tour with a visit to India Gate, drive past Rashtrapati Bhawan - the President`s residence- Parliament House and Government Buildings. This tour will also include a visit to Humayun`s Tomb.
The tour of Delhi continues to Imperial Delhi which includes the Qutub Minar, the tallest stone tower in India.
