A walk in Old Delhi |

It is said that a person cannot absorb India in a single lifetime. Similarly it is impossible to soak in all of Delhi's charms and mysticism in one trip.
Old Delhi in all it's splendour - where sometimes one feels that time itself has stopped. With its combination of some of the most magnificent monuments, excellent street food and narrow lanes is comparable to the Al-Khalili Bazaar in Cairo.
Come join me on a tour that encompasses not just the Red Fort and Jama Masjid but a walk that takes you back in time and makes you imagine how it felt to be an Indian Maharaja. |

Visit Old Delhi - the seat of the Mughals, which offers an array of activities from monuments to narrow lanes, bustling markets and excellent food.
We will visit the Red Fort, a 350 year old Fort built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (the architect of the world famous Taj Mahal).
Also see the Jama Masjid, the biggest mosque in India.
Additionally we will walk within Chandni Chowk and visit the Gauri Shankar Mandir, Gurudwara Sheesh Ganj and end our walk at the Skinner's Church (Delhi's oldest Church).
Within Chandni Chowk there are numerous options to eat as well as shop. I will be more than happy to share my thoughts on the same. |
|
| Meet up location: A preference will be given to clients - my personal recommendation is that we should meet at the Chandni Chowk metro station. I will identify myself via a PAN Card (which is like a US Social Security Card). |
|
| End location: The drop off point will be the Chandni Chowk metro station again. If a client has time post the tour, a 10 minute metro ride will take them to Connaught Place - Connaught Place and Janpath are excellent places to pick up souvenirs. Additionally, monuments such as the Jantar Mantar and Lutyens Delhi are a stone's throw away. |
|
| Duration: 6 hours |
|
| Summers (April to September) in Delhi are unbearably hot. To ensure a good tour, I would advise alot of breaks which may extend the tour by an hour or so. |
|
|
|
I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
I will be able to arrange interpreters who have accompanied me in the past on tours. |
