Day 01
Delhi City Tour of Old and New Delhi Landmarks
- We will start the day by visiting Jama Masjid - one of the architectural gifts of Shah Jahan. Jama Masjid is one of the largest mosques not only in Delhi but in all of India. Completed in 1658, this mosque has three gateways, four angle towers, and two 40 m-high minarets. You can enter the mosque, but please take off your shoes and make sure that you are properly dressed before entering. You can also go to the top of the minarets, from where you can enjoy a bird's-eye view of Delhi.
- Then, we will go to India Gate - situated in the centre of the city. This 42-meter-high stone arch is a memorial raised in honour of the Indian soldiers who fought and died in the campaigns of World War I and the Afghan War.
- Our next stop will be the President House - built in 1929, once the imperial residence of the British viceroys and now the official residence of the President of the Indian Republic.
- We will continue further to Parliament House. This circular-shaped building houses the two houses of Parliament - Lok Sabha (Lower) and Rajya Sabha (Upper). Its domed central hall is 90 feet in diameter.
- Next, we will visit Humayun's Tomb.
- We will take a halt for lunch at a restaurant, and afterwards, we will proceed to Qutub Minar. At 725 meters, it is the second tallest minar in India.
- Later, we will move to central Delhi to pray at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.
