Delhi – A truly multi-dimensional metropolis; renowned for its effervescent spirit, captivating and historical monuments, magnificent museums, mouth-watering eateries and mindboggling, value-for-money shopping opportunities. Don’t get over awed by the aggressive approach of people and overwhelming flow of mechanical and human traffic on roads. Hidden beneath this chaos is a warmth and humane aspect that stands apart in both the New and Old Delhi. This vibrant melting pot has a lot to showcase India’s new, historical and traditional aspects.
Morning sightseeing tour: Experience the two different worlds of Delhi in a day – the spacious New Delhi built by the British and the somewhat cramped Old Delhi that was the capital of Islamic India. In the first half of the day the itinerary involves visit to Jama Masjid - The largest mosque in India, Drive past Red Fort - a marvel in red sandstone built on the banks of River Yamuna by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Chandni Chowk- Today’s busiest commercial area of the city, which was once an imperial avenue of Mughal royalty. Khari Baoli bazaar-Asia’s largest spice market with open air shops. Raj Ghat-memorial to Mahatma Gandhi-the father of nation. Afternoon sightseeing tour: The glittering gems of the second phase of sightseeing involve: Qutab Minar- The 12th century hand-carved minar stands tall at 234ft. Watch out for the iron pillar that has not rusted even after 1500 years. The mausoleum of emperor Humayun - a forerunner of the Mughal style of architecture. India Gate-a war memorial dedicated to the heroics of Indian soldiers, who laid down their lives for country. Rashtrapati Bhawan- the president's residence, which was formerly the Viceroy's Palace.

Qutub Minar, Delhi The highest stone tower in India, the Qutub Minar was built by Qutbuddin Aibak, the viceroy of Mohammed Ghori in 1192. It was built to celebrate Ghori's victory over the Rajputs. The tower and the victory are very significant, because both heralded the birth of a new dynasty - Slave Dynasty. And it laid the foundations of the Delhi Sultanate. And the rest, as one would put it after witnessing this monumental tower, was history. The Minar is a five-storey building with a height of 72.5 metres. The first storey of the Qutb Minar was completed in the lifetime of Qutbuddin. His son-in-law and successor, Iltumush, added the next three storeys. Within the complex, is the famous Iron Pillar which has stood for millennia without rusting, Quwwat-ul-Islam, the first mosque built in India, and the Alai Darwaza, the gateway to the complex erected by Alauddin Khilji. The entry to the Minar has been closed, after the tower became infamous for the several suicides that were committed here. Qutb Minar is a successful tribute to architecture, as it captures one's attention by its sheer mass appeal. Even on close encounter, the attention lingers, owing to the delicate and almost ethereal carvings. Address: Mehrauli, Delhi-Gurgaon Road Timings: 6 am to 6 pm
Our Representative will meet you at the exit gate and transfer you to your hotel.
