Day 1 Old & New Delhi Sightseeing
A driver will come to pick you up from Delhi airport or any of your hotel in Delhi or Gurugram and start your sightseeing with a tour guide. Your first stop is Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India. Spend some time strolling through the red sandstone courtyard. It was built in 1656 with the help of 5000 workers.
The Red Fort is a massive structure built by Shah Jahan between 1639-1648. It was once the main residence of the Mughal emperors. The architecture of the fort reflects Indo-Islamic and Mughal styles.
It is said that in 1664, the Eighth Sikh Guru visited the king and cured the inhabitants of smallpox and cholera by distributing water from the reservoir to them.
The 1921 'Tomb of the Unknown Soldier' has the names of 13,300 Indian Army soldiers who died in World War I on the wall. This is an impressive 330-acre structure from 1929, built by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, who were actually responsible for the construction of almost all of New Delhi.
This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and India's first temple garden. Humayun's wife's sole purpose was to build this tomb after her death.
This is the tallest tower built in 1192 with bricks. It is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in Mehrauli. The surrounding area is known as the Qutub complex. In the evening, cap off this memorable trip , you will be dropped at Delhi Airport or any of your hotel in Delhi or Gurugram
