Delhi Sightseeing and Monuments - Discover India

Welcome to Delhi, the capital city of India which has been invaded, broken and re-born 7 times. The spell Delhi castes on visitors makes them eternally anchored to it ever since they visit it. Enjoy the opportunity to see and experience Delhi from a Delhiites eyes and get into the skin of this ever-lively capital. With plenty of sights to visit and monuments to see, room for boredom is an unknown term in this historic city.

Delhi Sightseeing:

We would not call it a felony, but a tour of Delhi is definitely incomplete without a rickshaw ride around Chandni Chowk. Enjoy the amusing experience of taking a rickshaw ride from Chandni Chowk to Chawri Bazaar. Starting with the chorus invitations of the rickshawalas dying to give you a ride through the winding lanes of Chandni Chowk, to catching glimpses of British Indian architectures, you will definitely be awestruck by the 400 years old history of the very cheerful Chandni Chowk.

India Gate is the perfect getaway for the ones with an appetite for fun. Licking on to an ice-cream, you might want to laze around on the lawns and watch the witty vendors sell goodies to visitors. And watching the surrounding activities is the mighty India Gate, built in the memory of 90,000 soldiers who gave their lives during World War I. Standing at a height of 42 meters, India Gate is the perfect getaway for those who loves outings, picnics, pampering oneself with unconventional snacks like fruit chaat, bhelpuri, candy floss, spicy chickpeas, aerated drinks, etc.

Dilli Haat is another colourful destination that showcases India in a nutshell. It is a wonderful Indian crafts and food bazaar and is definitely a shopper's paradise. Located at the heart of the city, Dilli Haat has more than 60 vibrant stalls of crafts and food from all over India. The handicrafts sold here include handloom items, woollen and silk items, ornaments, footwear, metal crafts, fabrics, etc which you can purchase at a reasonable price. It is a fine place that gives exposure to very talented Indian artisans and is a great presentation of Indian art and culture.

Monuments & places of worship:

Visit Lotus Temple, which in the last couple of years surpassed the Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal to become the most visited building in the world. Shaped like a lotus, it is a House of Worship, open to people from all religious backgrounds and who can come together and pray to one God.

A visit to Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India is going to be an overwhelming experience too. Climb up the southern Minaret of the Jama Masjid from where you can clearly observe Old Delhi merge into New Delhi. This spiritually spellbinding experience at the sunset will take you decades back to the era of the kings.

Amidst other ancient and medieval structures and ruins, Qutub Minar, the world's tallest brick minaret stands at a height of 72.5 meters. It is made up of stones which earlier shaped the ruined and destroyed Hindu and Jain Temples surrounding it and was built to celebrate the might of Islam. Excuse the neck ache which you might possibly get after starring high up at the Qutub Minar trying to figure out what kind of distant kingdoms you can see from up there.
