Delhi Trips & Tours

Old Delhi and New Delhi. When you hear talk of the two, it’s easy to imagine neat halves, perfectly separated by a row of fluttering flags or maybe a rickshaw-laden highway. Well, no, not exactly. There are, of course, distinct differences – visit Old for the Red Fort, piping street food, cows, and frenetic bazaars; New for the iconic India Gate, colonial boulevards, greenery and glitzy hotels – but the whole shebang is actually a blend of eight ancient cities. Each new one was built on the dust of its predecessor, leaving behind a hodgepodge of shiny edifices and photogenic monuments tucked into every corner. So, take a deep breath and dive into Mughal history, haggle, shake your camera at mosques, temples and fortresses, hail a tuk-tuk, fill all your suitcases with shawls, slippers and handicrafts, and indulge your tastebuds with a fusion of cuisine from all over the country – because that’s how you do Delhi.
