What to expect

  1. Qutub Minar
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Begin with pick-up at 9am from your desired place in Delhi, Gurugram (Gurgaon) or Noida and Visit Qutab Minar (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) ringed by intricately carved sandstone bands bearing verses from the Quran, the tower stands nearly 73m high and tapers from a 15m-diameter base to a mere 2.5m at the top.
  2. Humayun's Tomb
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Humayun's Tomb (Unesco World Heritage site) - is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi. Sublimely well proportioned, seeming to float above its symmetrical gardens. It's thought to have inspired the Taj Mahal, which it predates by 60 years.
  3. Lotus Temple
    1h
    Designed for tranquil worship, Delhi's beautiful Lotus Temple offers a rare pocket of calm in the hectic city. It is shaped like a lotus flower, with 27 delicate-looking white-marble petals. The temple was created to bring faiths together; visitors are invited to pray or meditate silently according to their own beliefs.
  4. India Gate
    30m
    This imposing 42m-high stone memorial arch was designed by Lutyens in 1921. It pays tribute to around 90,000 Indian army soldiers who died in WWI, the Northwest Frontier operations and the 1919 Anglo-Afghan War.
  5. Rashtrapati Bhavan
    Pass by
    Rashtrapati Bhavan or President House is an official residence of the President of India. Formerly home to the British Viceroy, the President’s House has 340 rooms, with 2.5km of corridors, and it's fascinating to take a peek inside.
  6. Parliament House
    Pass by
    This circular, colonnaded building, designed by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, was where the 1947 handover of power from Britain to the newly independent India took place, and parliament still meets here.
  7. Jama Masjid
    30m
    Explore the country's largest mosque, built in 1656, where thousands of Muslims offer prayers. The great mosque of Old Delhi is both the largest in India, and the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees.
  8. Pasar Chandni Chowk
    Pass by
    Wind through the labyrinthine lanes in a rickshaw (Tricycle) which gives passengers an opportunity to see a different prospective of Chandni Chowk, which is otherwise only regarded as one of the favorite shopping avenues of Delhi.
  9. Raj Ghat
    30m
    On the banks of the Yamuna River, this peaceful, very well maintained park contains a simple black-marble platform marking the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated following his assassination in 1948. This memorial is a thought-provoking spot, inscribed with what are said to have been Gandhi’s final words, Hai Ram ('Oh, God').
  10. Red Fort
    Pass by
    Drive past Red Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) - Founded by Emperor Shah Jahan and surrounded by a magnificent 18m-high wall, this fort took 10 years to construct (1638–48) and is rumoured to have had the decapitated bodies of prisoners built into the foundations for luck. It once overlooked the Yamuna River, which has now shrunk to some distance away.
  11. Swaminarayan Akshardham
    1h
    Heralded by the Guinness World Record as the World’s Largest Comprehensive Hindu Temple, the complex was inaugurated on 6 November, 2005 and is breathtakingly lavish. Artisans used ancient techniques to carve the pale red sandstone into elaborate reliefs, including 20,000 deities, saints and mythical creatures. The centrepiece is a 3m-high gold statue of Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan surrounded by more, fabulously intricate carvings.
  12. 30m · Admission ticket included
