Delhi is more than just India's capital, it is a city where history and modern life sit side by side, often within the same neighbourhood. For most international travellers, Delhi is the first stop on their India journey, and it sets the tone beautifully for everything that follows. With over a thousand years of layered history, from ancient ruins to Mughal monuments to British-era buildings, the city offers an incredible introduction to India's diverse story.
Our Delhi tour packages are designed to give you a balanced experience of both Old and New Delhi. In Old Delhi, you can explore the imposing Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once served as the residence of Mughal emperors, and the magnificent Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques. A walk or rickshaw ride through the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk is an experience in itself, spice markets, jewellery shops, and some of the city's oldest and most loved street food stalls are all packed into this vibrant quarter.
New Delhi, on the other hand, reflects a different era. Wide boulevards lead to India Gate, a war memorial surrounded by lush lawns, while Rashtrapati Bhavan and the government buildings along Rajpath showcase the grandeur of British-era architecture. Humayun's Tomb, often considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal, and the towering Qutub Minar are two more UNESCO sites that offer a peaceful contrast to the city's busier areas.
For travellers interested in spirituality and architecture, the Lotus Temple and Akshardham Temple are must-visits, each offering a calm, reflective experience away from the city's pace. Shopping enthusiasts can explore everything from the upscale boutiques of Khan Market and Connaught Place to the local charm of Dilli Haat, where regional handicrafts from across India are showcased under one roof.
Food is an integral part of any Delhi visit. From classic Mughlai dishes and streetstyle chaat to modern cafes and fine-dining restaurants, the city caters to every palate. Many of our itineraries include guided food walks, giving travellers a chance to sample authentic flavours while learning about the stories and history behind each dish.
The best time to visit Delhi is between October and March, when the weather is pleasant for sightseeing. Summers can be quite hot, so itineraries during this period are planned around early morning visits and indoor experiences during peak afternoon hours.
Delhi's biggest advantage is its location, it is the natural starting point for some of India's most popular circuits. A Delhi stay pairs seamlessly with Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, and Jaipur, gateway to Rajasthan's royal heritage, together forming the famous Golden Triangle. For travellers seeking a touch of wildlife, Delhi also connects easily to Ranthambore National Park and Jim Corbett National Park, allowing you to combine the city's history with thrilling tiger safaris in the same trip.
