Itinerary

Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1 – Discovering Old Delhi

The first day focuses on Old Delhi, the historic center established during the Mughal era. This part of the city still carries the atmosphere of its royal past, with narrow lanes, traditional markets, and grand monuments.

Your day begins with a visit to Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India. Built in the 17th century, its expansive courtyard and elegant red sandstone structure reflect the architectural style of the Mughal empire. Climbing the steps and standing in the courtyard offers a sense of the scale and importance this place holds in the city.

From there, the tour continues into the energetic streets of Chandni Chowk. This historic market area is known for its dense network of shops, street vendors, and traditional food stalls. A cycle rickshaw ride takes you through the busy lanes, allowing you to experience the sights, sounds, and aromas of one of Delhi’s oldest trading districts.

During the ride, you’ll also pass through the famous Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market. Colorful sacks of spices, herbs, and dried fruits create a unique sensory experience as traders continue traditions that have existed here for generations.

Next, you’ll drive past the impressive walls of Red Fort, the former residence of Mughal emperors. The fort’s massive sandstone ramparts stretch along the edge of Old Delhi and remain a powerful symbol of India’s history.

The journey then moves to a quieter and more reflective site, Raj Ghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. Surrounded by peaceful gardens, the black marble platform marks the place where the leader of India’s independence movement was cremated.

Later in the afternoon, the tour heads toward the modern side of the city to visit Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple. This vast temple complex is known for its detailed carvings, landscaped gardens, and exhibitions that present Indian cultural traditions.

After a full day of sightseeing, you’ll return to your hotel for an overnight stay.

Day 2 – Exploring New Delhi

The second day of the 2 Days Delhi City Tour focuses on New Delhi, an area developed during the British colonial period and later expanded into the modern capital.

Your morning begins at Humayun's Tomb, a magnificent Mughal garden tomb built in the 16th century. Its symmetrical gardens, elegant arches, and large central dome influenced later Mughal architecture, including the Taj Mahal.

From there, the tour continues to Qutub Minar, one of the tallest brick minarets in the world. Surrounded by ancient ruins and early Islamic structures, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a glimpse into the early history of Delhi’s medieval period.

The next stop introduces a modern architectural landmark: Lotus Temple. Designed in the shape of a blooming lotus flower, this peaceful place of worship welcomes visitors from all faiths. Its calm atmosphere provides a quiet contrast to the busy city outside.

Another important religious site on the tour is Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, one of the most prominent Sikh temples in the city. Visitors can observe the community kitchen and learn about the Sikh tradition of serving free meals to anyone who visits.

Later, your guide will stop near India Gate, a monumental arch dedicated to soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. The surrounding lawns make it one of the most popular public spaces in the city.

You will also pass the impressive Parliament House, an important government building that represents India’s democratic system.

After completing the sightseeing, your driver will drop you back at your hotel or any preferred location in Delhi.
