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. Overnight at hotel of stay.
After breakfast in the hotel, proceed for the sightseeing of Old Delhi. The tour will begin with a visit to Raj Ghat, a simple memorial to Mahatma Gandhi; drive past the Red Fort (closed on Mondays), continuing by bicycle rickshaws to the Jama Masjid, one of Asia`s largest mosques. The magnificent Red Fort, overlooking the river Jamuna was built during the years 1638 - 48 when the Moghul Empire was at its peak. People stream in and out of the Jama Masjid continuously and the presence of a nearby bazaar means that the area is rarely quiet. After visiting Old Delhi, you will be driven to New Delhi, which reflects the legacy the British left behind. The division between New and Old Delhi is the division between the capitals of the British and the Mughals respectively. The division in the walled city and New Delhi also marks the division in the life-styles. The walled city is all tradition where one will be able to glean a past life-style in all its facets, colours and spells. New Delhi, in contrast, is a city trying to live up to the best of 21st century standards. The tour of Delhi continues to Imperial Delhi which includes the Qutub Minar, the tallest stone tower in India. The tour also includes a drive past the imposing India Gate, the Parliament building, the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President`s residence & Humanyun`s tomb.
