Old Delhi:
Visit Old Delhi, the former imperial capital of the Mughal Emperors. Although little remains of the original grandeur of Shah Jahan’s city, its vibrant soul lives on. The backbone of Old Delhi is Chandni Chowk, now a bustling market selling an extraordinary variety of items including silver jewellery, aromatic spices, leather goods, fruits and vegetables.

Enjoy a rickshaw ride through the narrow by-lanes of Chandni Chowk, followed by a visit to Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India. Built between 1644 and 1658, this architectural masterpiece features three great gateways, four angle towers and two minarets rising 40 metres high, constructed from alternating strips of red sandstone and white marble. Drive past the Red Fort.

Raj Ghat:
Later, drive to Raj Ghat, the simple black marble memorial marking the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi following his assassination in 1948. The surrounding park features trees planted by notable personalities such as Queen Elizabeth II, President Eisenhower and Ho Chi Minh.

Visit Bangla Sahib Gurdwara, an important Sikh temple complex that includes a kitchen, holy pond, school and art gallery. The concept of langar (free community kitchen) is practised here, serving around 10,000 meals daily. Observe people of all castes, religions and ages dining together in a spirit of equality.

In the afternoon, explore New Delhi, visiting Humayun’s Tomb (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the earliest example of Mughal architecture in India. Recently restored, the monument’s gardens and fountains enhance its beauty. Architecturally inspired by styles from Samarkand, this tomb later influenced the design of the Taj Mahal.

Drive past India Gate, the President’s Residence (formerly the Viceroy’s Palace), Parliament House and the Secretariat buildings — a striking blend of Victorian and 20th-century architecture.

Overnight stay at the hotel.

Later, visit Agra Fort, which houses halls of private and public audiences along with royal palaces. Shah Jahan spent years confined here by his son Aurangzeb, gazing at the Taj Mahal from the fort.

Proceed to visit the world-famous Taj Mahal, built by Shah Jahan in 1560 in memory of his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal. This perfectly proportioned white marble masterpiece involved over 20,000 craftsmen from Persia, Turkey, France and Italy and took 17 years to complete.

Explore the beautifully preserved structures including Jama Masjid, the Tomb of Salim Chisti, Panch Mahal and other palaces reflecting Mughal grandeur.
