Delhi

Welcome to Delhi! Said to be one of the oldest existing cities in the world estimated to be over 5000 years old, Delhi today is rich with historical legacy and culture that will astonish and delight any traveller. Delhi has much to offer, from the chaotic city centre waiting to be explored, to the ancient architecture of temples, mosques and forts of ages past. Come to this city of contrasts for yourself and unlock the secrets of Delhi.

Venture into Old Delhi and lose yourself in the labyrinth of winding alleyways rife with an eccentric rabble of markets. Delve into the Old City Shahjahanabad for the colourful bazaars of Chandni Chowk – one of the oldest and busiest markets in Delhi – and pick up a chikan-embroidered sari while you treat your taste buds to an authentic and delicious Jalebi.

In Old Delhi marvel at the beautiful Red Fort and Jama Masjid – India’s largest mosque – which overlook the sprawling city streets. For a second-to-none view, climb the 122 steps of the mosque’s southern tower and look over both Old and New Delhi in amazement. By heading south, you’ll discover the baroque centrepiece of British New Delhi, Rajpath and the Raisina Hill buildings, which offer a magnificent visual relief from the mayhem of the bustling streets below. Further south, through the luscious and spacious greenery of New Delhi, you’ll find remnants of the city’s medieval past.

Visit the Lodhi Gardens and Humayun’s Tomb of unique Mughal architecture – easily accessible from the city centre – before heading to the mammoth Qutb Minar tower, ornately decorated with calligraphy.
