Old Delhi’s walled city makes it easy for us to recognized several aspects of the lifestyles in the past, with its remaining traditions in all of its features, spells and colors. Conversely New Delhi is a city that is being developed into a more modern day 21st century model.

Our private guided tour begins with a look at the sights in Old Delhi the previous capital of Shahjahanbad that was founded by Moghul Emperor Shahjahan in the 17th century . Old Delhi is made up of a wealth of buildings which display fantastic combinations of architectural styles. It can also become quite hectic which is to be expected from a city in the middle of the busy Chandi Chowk Bazaar. One of the best ways to travel around is by cycle rickshaw. After navigating through the small alleys and the colorful bazaars, you will arrive at the magnificent Jama Masjid Mosque, which is the biggest mosque in India and Shahjahan’s impressive Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Housed in the fort are some of the greatest illustrations of Mughal architecture, in a collection of splendid audience halls and superb and unblemished mosaic marble pavilions, fixed in formal gardens with fountains and pools that are beautifully decorated.

We move on to Raj Ghat – a memorial that was constructed in honor of the site where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated.

When we have finished our lunch our guided tour continues to New Delhi. The city centre is divided by broad avenues that are lined with trees, a cemetery that is a noticeable reflection of the Raj heritage and the Presidential Palace which was once home to the previous Viceroy’s Palace. We drive along Rajpath (King’s Way) and in the process we pass by Parliament House, a globular building that represents Indian democracy.

Afterwards, we arrive at India Gate, a tall stone archway that was constructed in commemoration of the Indian soldiers who died in World War I. Further on, we will also pay visits to some of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Delhi which include the Qutub Minar Complex that was built in the 12th century and is dominated by India’s highest stone tower constructed to mark the victory of Muslims over Hindu Rajput Kingdoms in India. It was started in 1199 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak who demolished Hindu and Jain temples and built the Quwat-ul-Islam mosque which is attached with the columns of destroyed temples. This gave India its first mosque.

We will come to the end of our tour today after lunch at a local restaurant. We visit the Humayun’s Tomb (ca.1565) at a lovely complex designed by a Persian architect and ordered to be built by the widow of the Mughal Emperor. This tomb was created with a beautiful fusion of Indian and Persian features. You will find a collection of stately mausoleums that are surrounded by wonderful expansive gardens with entrances through monumental gates. It reached its pinnacle about100 years later in the in the Taj Mahal (1634). Worthy of mentioning is its configuration of a pavilion and base domes and that it was the forerunner to the Taj Mahal, with the only difference being that it was built of red sandstone instead of white marble.

At last visit, you will visit Lotus Temple. Evening, we will leave you in hotel.  Overnight in New Delhi!
