Itinerary:
Convenient Pickup from your Hotel/Preferred Location
Your chauffeur-driven, air-conditioned car arrives up to your hotel entrance or a preferred spot precisely on time. Chilled water, and a friendly driver-guide set the premium tone as you settle in for a day of discovery across India’s storied capital: Delhi!
Visit the Spell-binding Jama Masjid & Old Delhi Tour
Begin where Shah Jahan’s faith met his flair for grand design. Slip off your shoes and step onto the vast marble courtyard of Jama Masjid, a mosque large enough to host 25,000 worshippers during Eid. From the minaret you’ll glimpse a sea of labyrinthine lanes—your cue for the next slice of adventure.
Rickshaw Ride, Chandni Chowk: Board a hand-pulled rickshaw and rattle past silver merchants, spice wholesalers and street-food legends that have fed Delhi for three centuries. Your guide points out hidden havelis, bargain tips, and the best angle for that turmeric-tinted photo.
Witness the Majestic Red Fort
A two-minute hop delivers you to the 17th-century fortress “Red Fort” that once controlled an empire stretching from Kabul to the Deccan Plateau. Marvel at the Diwan-i-Aam, trace the inlaid gemstone work of Rang Mahal, and feel the weight of history on the very rampart where India’s Prime Minister voices the Independence-Day address each 15 August.
Raj Ghat & Riverside Memorials
Green lawns and eternal flame replace the bustle as you pay quiet homage at Mahatma Gandhi’s cremation site. Nearby lie memorials to Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi—gentle reminders of India’s democratic journey.
India Gate & Imperial Vista
Cruise down Rajpath to Edwin Lutyens’ 42-metre triumphal arch “India Gate”. Inscribed on its sandstone are the names of 13,300 soldiers who fell in World War I; Pause for photos amid lawns where locals throng for a quick picnic.
Highlight Attractions on Your Drive: Your guide narrates anecdotes as you roll by the circular Parliament House and the 340-room Rashtrapati Bhavan, once the Viceroy’s palace and today the residence of India’s President.
Lunch at a Hand-Picked Restaurant
Choose from a curated menu of North-Indian classics: tandoori kebabs, dal makhani slow-cooked for hours, and flaky paratha dripping with clarified butter. On the other hand, if you want to visit a particular restaurant of your choice for lunch, you can do it as lunch is not included in the package.
Humayun’s Tomb (UNESCO)
Post-lunch, enter a 30-acre Persian-style garden where water channels mirror a double-storeyed mausoleum of red sandstone and white marble. Completed in 1571, this was India’s first garden-tomb and the architectural template for the Taj Mahal. Your guide decodes its celestial geometry and points out the tiny lattice windows (jaalis) that funnel cool breezes.
Lotus Temple (Closed Mondays)
Next, a modern ode to unity: nine marble-clad petals forming a Bahá’í House of Worship visited by 4 million people annually. Inside, silence reigns—regardless of faith. Spend a few reflective minutes or photograph the pond reflections that give the structure its floating illusion.
Qutub Minar (UNESCO)
Drive to South Delhi’s Qutub Complex, anchored by a 72.5-metre victory tower started by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Sultan of Delhi in 1199. Stroll beneath ornate balconies carved from sandstone and view the Iron Pillar, a 1,600-year-old metallurgical marvel that refuses to rust. Legends and the dynasties collide here, and your guide weaves them into the vivid narrative as parrots fly overhead.
Return Drive & Local Insight
As the saffron light paints the skyline, recline and quiz your guide on the Delhi’s best craft markets, the rooftop bars, or the late-night dessert joints. USB chargers and refreshing towels keep you comfortable while the city’s traffic flows the opposite way.
Drop-Off at Delhi Hotel or Preferred Location
With three UNESCO sites, a Mughal fortress, a British-era boulevard and the sensory overload of Old Delhi behind you, arrive back at your hotel fully acquainted with the capital’s layered soul—and still in time for an evening swim or spa. A warm farewell from your driver-guide concludes the journey!
