On your arrival at Delhi International Airport, you will be met by our representative and escorted to your hotel. He will then help you with the check in formalities. Your tour starts from the capital city, Delhi, an energetic city, with a unique blend of the ancient and the contemporary era. Delhi has two visible parts: New Delhi, the city created by the British in 1911 as the Imperial capital of India and Old Delhi considered as the Muslim capital of India between the 17th and the 19th century. There are at least eight cities on the location of the modern Delhi, among which Indraprastha is one of the first P a g e | 6 recognized settlements, highlighted in the epic Mahabharata over 3000 years ago. Nevertheless, Delhi has always been one of the major cities in the northern region of the subcontinent. India Vast, diverse, deeply spiritual and utterly unforgettable, India is unlike anywhere else on earth – a melting pot of ethnicities and religions, a treasure trove of history and culture, and a curious mixture of chaos and serenity. Stretching across more than three million square kilometres, it encompasses a staggering array of landscapes, vistas and environs, and offers unparalled travel experiences – from the beautiful beaches of Goa, to the compelling craziness of Kolkata, the sacred Ganges river banks of Varanasi, the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas in Kashmir and the ancient, exquisitely crafted temples dotted across the entire country. Not to mention the vibrant, friendly people, and the incredible cuisine. New Delhi India’s largest city, Delhi, has been one of the country’s commercial and economic hubs for centuries and, as a result, is incredibly rich in culture and history. Made up of the ancient walled city of Old Delhi and the more modern sector, New Delhi, the city encompasses a staggering array of beautiful architecture, notable monuments and age-old temples, including three UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Red Fort, Qutab Minar and Humayun's Tomb. Other key attractions include the 17th century Chandni Chowk marketplace – still one of the city’s most popular retail centres today, particularly for jewellery and traditional Indian saris; the iconic Bahà’i Lotus Temple – an award-winning architectural gem; and the Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque. Overnight: The Lalit New Delhi Hotel Standing tall in the heart of the business and commercial district of Connaught Place, the Lalit New Delhi is a fine luxury hotel in the city. The hotel is located just minutes away from the government offices, cultural centres and international trade fair grounds. Surrounded by upscale shopping centres, heritage monuments and neighbourhoods buzzing with cafés and bazaars, this 5-star hotel offers the perfect gateway to India’s vibrant capital. The hotel features 7 distinctive dining and nightlife destinations, the award-winning Rejuve – The Spa, and sophisticated event venues ensure that every expectation is surpassed. Among the urban bustle of India’s capital, the Lalit New Delhi is the destination to relax, unwind and discover the city. Included Bed & Breakfast Excluded Meals Drinks P a g e | 7 Day 2: The Lalit New Delhi Hotel, New Delhi (Thu, 2 November) Day Itinerary After your breakfast, your tour guide will pick you up from the hotel and take you for a guided sightseeing tour of Old and New Delhi. This tour includes visits to the Red Fort, Jama Masjid - one of the country’s largest mosques, Chandni Chowk (Silver Street) – famous for its colourful bazaars including Rickshaw Ride , Raj Ghat – the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi, Birla Mandir - Hindu Temple, India Gate - a 42 meter high war memorial, Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House), Humayun’s Tomb and the Qutub Minar – a 73 m high victory tower. Activities Red Fort Jama Masjid Chandni Chowk Raj Ghat India Gate Rashtrapati Bhawan Humayun's Tomb Qutab Minar Red Fort Named for the pink-red sandstone from which it is built, the Red Fort is located deep in the centre of Delhi and is one of the city’s most compelling sights. This magnificent building was built in 1648 and was the residence of India’s Mughal Emperors for almost two centuries, as well as the headquarters for events of ceremonial and political significance. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing several museums, it is an exquisite and immaculately preserved example of Islamic architecture, featuring octagonal towers, turrets and opulent facades inlaid with white marble, as well as elements of Persian and Hindu design. Jama Masjid The majestic Jama Masjid – meaning ‘world-reflecting’ mosque – is Old Delhi’s principal place of worship, and the largest and most renowned of its kind in India. Built in the 17th century by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan – who also built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort – it’s an elaborate structure featuring an expansive geometric base topped with globe-shaped minarets crafted from strips of red sandstone and white marble, and a massive courtyard that can hold up to 25 000 people. Jama Masjid is particularly impressive just before dusk, when its rosy hues intensify in the glow of the setting sun. P a g e | 8 Chandni Chowk Situated in Delhi’s historical old town, frenetic Chandni Chowk – meaning ‘moonlit square’ – is one of the city’s oldest, busiest and most famed shopping areas, built in the 17th century and originally intersected by (now defunct) canals that were designed to capture and reflect the moonlight. It’s a shopper’s paradise – with an eclectic diversity of wares ranging from traditional Indian sweets and other delicacies, to leather goods, electronics, intricately embellished saris and tailor-made suits. But even if you’re not up for any retail therapy, the sights, sounds and atmosphere of this pulsing, labyrinthine marketplace are captivating enough in their own right. Raj Ghat Named after a historical ghat of Old Delhi located nearby, Raj Ghat is a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, marking the spot where he was cremated after his assassination in 1948. Housed in an open-air garden area inside a walled complex, the memorial consists of a simple, flat black platform (reflecting the simplicity of Gandhi’s life) that is kept constantly decorated with an abundance of fresh flowers. An eternal flame burns at one end, symbolising the ever- lasting legacy of this great man. Two museums devoted to Mahatma Gandhi, his life and teachings are located nearby. India Gate Also known as the Delhi Memorial or the All India War Memorial, the India Gate was built in commemoration of the roughly 80 000 Indian soliders who died representing their country in World War One and on various other battlefields, and whose names are inscribed on the structure. Unveiled in 1931, its distinctive arch is reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Gateway of India in Bombay, and is one of the trademark sights of New Delhi. Humayun's Tomb The mausoleum complex of Humayun, India’s second Mughal Emperor, was commissioned by his widow in 1565 and was the first garden tomb to be built in India, taking seven years to complete.
