Delhi

India’s fascinating capital city is split into Old Delhi and New Delhi.

The ‘new’ part dates from 1920, and as well as wide boulevards and green parks, it offers the imposing India Gate, India’s impressive Parliament House and two monuments from Delhi’s past – Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. Old Delhi was once a walled city and can be explored in a traditional Indian rickshaw.

Outside the Lahore Gate of the Red Fort is Chandni Chowk, a congested avenue heading west that is filled with twisting lanes, small streets and crowded bazaars. Other popular sights in Old Delhi include Raj Ghat, the memorial site of Mahatma Gandhi, and Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India.
