09:00 Am:- Pick up from Your New Delhi City Hotel and proceed to Sightseeing tour of New Delhi. Visit
Humayun’s Tomb:-If you think Humayun’s Tomb looks a bit like the Taj Mahal in Agra, that’s because it was
the inspiration for the Taj Mahal’s creation. The tomb was built in 1570, and houses the body of the second
Mughal emperor, Humayun. It was the first of this type of Mughal architecture to be built in India, and the
Mughal rulers followed it up with an extensive period of construction all over the country. The tomb is part of a
greater complex that’s set amongst beautiful gardens.
Qutub Minar:- Qutab Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world, is an incredible example of early
Indo–Islamic architecture. It was built in 1206, but the reason remains a mystery. Some believe that it was
made to signify victory and the beginning of Muslim rule in India, while others say it was used to call the
faithful to prayer. The tower has five distinct stories, and is covered with intricate carvings and verses from
the holy Quran. There are also a number of other historic monuments on the site.
Afternoon take a lunch at 01:30 PM later visit
Lotus Temple:-The Bahai Temple is commonly referred to as the Lotus Temple, as it’s shaped like a lotus
flower. It’s particularly pretty at night, when it’s attractively lit up. Made out of white marble, the temple
belongs to the Bahai Faith, which proclaims the unity of all people and religions. Everybody is welcome to
worship there. The tranquil gardens and ponds surrounding the temple are also a great place for a relaxing
picnic.
India Gate:-The towering archway of India Gate at the center of New Delhi is a war memorial, built in memory
of the Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army in World War I. At night it glows
warmly under floodlights, and the gardens that line its boulevard are a popular place to enjoy a warm summer’s
evening.
Laxmi Narayan Temple:-Built in 1938 by the Industrialist G.D. Birla, it is one of the major temples in Delhi
and is located near Connought Place. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Laxmi and her consort Narayana. The
temple was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi on the stipulation that people of all castes shall be allowed to enter
the temple.
Later Visit Old Part of Delhi, Visit
Red Fort:- Delhi’s most famous monument, the Red Fort, stands as a powerful reminder of the Mughal
emperors who ruled India. Its walls, which stretch for over two kilometers (1.2 miles), were built in 1638 to
keep out invaders. However, they failed to stop the fort being captured by the Sikhs and the British. To take
your imagination back to the ancient era, a one hour sound and light show of the fort’s history is held each
evening.
Jamia Masjid:- Jama Masjid is another marvelous treasure of the Old City, and is the largest mosque in India.
Its courtyard can hold an incredible 25,000 devotees. The mosque took 13 years to build, and was completed in
1650. A strenuous climb to the top of its southern tower will reward you with a stunning view across the
rooftops of Delhi. Be sure to dress appropriately when visiting the mosque or you won’t be allowed in. This
means covering your head, legs and shoulders. Attire is available there.
Chandni Chowk:-Chandni Chowk, the main street of old Delhi, is a shocking contrast to the wide, orderly
streets of New Delhi. Cars, cycle rickshaws, hand-pulled carts, pedestrians, and animals all compete for space.
It’s chaotic, crumbling and congested, but completely captivating as well. As one of the oldest and busiest
markets in India, its narrow winding lanes are full of inexpensive jewelry, fabrics, and electronics. For the more
adventurous, Chandni Chowk is an excellent place to come to sample some of Delhi’s street food.
Rajghat:- Rajghat in Delhi is the cremation site of Gandhiji, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi who is most
reveredly remembered as the Father of Nation. This memorial is located between the main Ring Road which is
now known as the Mahatma Gandhi Road and the banks of the Yamuna River, just southeast of Red Fort. Set
amidst deep green lawns and fountains, Rajghat is surrounded by a lovely wooded area and several exotic trees
creating a serene ambience.
