Itinerary

Day 1 - Get Started!

(i) Shah Jahan Tour

The Shah Jahan Tour is a classic recipe for an exhilarating glimpse into the life and times of the great Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan and the 1500-acre expanse of his capital – Shahjahanabad. At the time of its construction in the 17th Century, it was arguably, the most prosperous and beautiful city in the world.

Highlights: Delite Cinema – Turkman Gate – Chawri Bazar – Fatehpuri Masjid – Spice Market – Madras Colony – Civil Lines (chai break) – Old Delhi railway station – Chandni Chowk – Red Fort (from outside) -Jama Masjid (from outside) – breakfast at Karim’s restaurant – Delite Cinema

(ii) Yamuna Tour

Behind every historical capital, there is a great big river. The route is an ode to this river that has been a silent witness to Delhi’s history and is now a recurrent victim of its excesses. Starting from the little lanes of Shahjahanabad, while the city is still sleepy in its proverbial stocks passing along the magnificently formidable walls of the Red Fort we find ourselves on the meditative quiet banks of the Yamuna at Nigam Bodh Ghat. A visit to the famous ghats – migratory birds circling above the calm waters – unravels the ritualistic devotion with which the Hindus treat the historic river.

Highlights: Delite Cinema – Turkman Gate – Chawri Bazar – Chandni Chowk – Red Fort – Yamuna River (chai/tea break) – St. James Church – Old Delhi Railway Station – Chandni Chowk – Jama Masjid – breakfast at Karim’s restaurant – Delite Cinema

(iii) Raj Tour

The Raj tour is a truly breathtaking ride down Delhi’s more recent history. Starting from the narrow labyrinthine back lanes of Old Delhi, passing through quaint old ‘socialist-style’ quarters of government employees and almost magically landing in the midst of a spectacular view of the Presidential Palace and India Gate encircled by spotless clean, tree-lined wide roads – the Raj Tour is a very stimulating and comprehensive catalogue of the lives of people who make this great capital today.
