Welcome to Delhi

Delhi, the capital of India has a fascinating history and a stimulating present. The old city, built by Shah Jahan in the 17th century, stands today as an epitome of the whole history of Indo-Islamic architecture. New Delhi, designed and constructed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker is a mixture of East & West.

In Old Delhi - Visit Jama Masjid (1650 A.D.), Red Fort (1639-48 A.D) built by builder of the Taj Mahal. Raj Ghat where the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, was cremated.

In New Delhi - Visit Humayun' Tomb (1565 A.D), aptly called the predecessor of the Taj Mahal. Drive past Safdarjang' Tomb (1753 A.D), The Qutab Minar, 72 metre high and one of the most perfect towers of the Persian World.
