Fondly called the ‘Father of the Nation’, he played a crucial role in India’s Independence and is considered among the world’s top leaders. Located on the bank of River Yamuna and beautifully landscaped, the place hosts similar memorials dedicated to other leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Please remove your footwear before entering the place.
Visit Jama Masjid

This 17th century mosque boasts of stunningly constructed domes and minarets and has sprawling courtyards with scores of pigeons adding to the charm. Remove shoes, buy camera ticket (by paying INR 200) and women must be dressed in decent clothes (no shorts and sleeveless tops). By paying an additional INR 100, you may climb a minaret for remarkable views of the city.
Visit Red Fort
The next attraction of Delhi sightseeing tour is Red Fort which is a World Heritage Site and houses palaces, pavilions, halls, squares and museums, all inside a huge walled complex guarded by massive gates. The red sandstone structure has elegantly mowed lawns and is the ideal place to savour India’s golden history. Entry fee is INR 10/250 for Indians/foreigners. Still cameras can be carried for free while INR 25 must be paid for video cameras. If time permits, attend the invigorating Sound & Light Show (starting 06:00 p.m. in English and Hindi, costs INR 80 per head).
Ride Rickshaw to Chandni Chowk
Enough of Delhi sightseeing by car! As the evening descends, it is the exciting time to ride a cycle-rickshaw to the narrow alleys and crowded bazaars of Old Delhi. Chawri Bazaar around Chandni Chowk bustles with life and energy and promises outstanding shopping opportunities (be ready to bargain). Don’t miss the scrumptious street foods including dahi bhalla, aloo tikki, kachori and chat papdi. Equally tempting sweets like jalebi, rabdi faluda, kulfi and badam burfi should also get your attention. Take care while consuming highly spicy food.
