FULL DAY DELHI TOUR
Full Day Delhi Tour (80kms/8hrs)
Our car will pick you up & then proceed for full day sightseeing tour of Delhi.
Delhi is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a
labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the
new capital, designed by Sir Edward Lutyens is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and
imposing government buildings. Delhi has been the seat of power of a number of dynasties – the
Rajputs, the Afghans, the Turks and the Mughals who continued their imperial line until the British.
Visit Delhi Haat, Humayun’s Tomb, India gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Cottage Industries
Exposition (CIE).
Our car will pick you up & then proceed for tour of Delhi.
Dilli Haat is an open-air food plaza and cradia, and from a variety of cultural traditions of India.
Unlike the traditional weekly market, the village Haat, Dilli
Haat is permanent. It is located in the commercial centers
of South Delhi, opposite INA market. The 6 acres of land
on which this complex is situated was salvaged as part of a
reclamation project and transformed into a plaza. Extensive
foundation work, small thatched roof cottages and kiosks
give the plaza a village atmosphere. Some shops are
permanent but other sellers are rotated, usually for fifteen
days.
Products offered may include rosewood and sandalwood carvings, embellished camel hide
footwear,
sophisticated
fabric
and
drapery, gems, beads, brassware,
metal
crafts,
and silk and wool fabrics.
Red Fort (Closed on Monday), constructed by Shah Jahan, was built as the fortified palace
of Shahjahanabad, capital of the fifth Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan in 1648. Named for its massive enclosing
walls of red sandstone, it raises 33-m above the clamour
of Old Delhi as a reminder of the magnificent power and
pomp of the Mughal emperors. The main gate, Lahore
Gate, is one of the emotional and symbolic focal points of
the modern Indian nation and attracts a major crowd on
each Independence Day.
Enroute lunch at Broad way Restaurant/Similar.
Now drive past the Presidential Palace, Rashtrapati Bhavan and the secretariat
buildings - the centre of all government activity and down the main avenue, on the impressive
Rajpath to the World War I memorial arch, the India Gate.
India Gate, a 42 m-high archway stands tall at the centre of New Delhi. It commemorates the 70,000
Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British
Army during the World War I. Another memorial, Amar
Jawan Jyoti was added much later, after India got its
independence. The eternal flame burns day and night under
the arch to remind the nation of soldiers who laid down their
lives in the Indo-Pakistan War of December 1971.
Humayun’s Tomb built in 1565 A.D, nine years after the
death of Humayun, by his senior widow Haji Begum. The
most notable features are the garden squares (chaharbagh)
with pathways water channels, centrally located well
proportional mausoleum topped by double dome.
