Day 01: Arrive Delhi
Arrive in Delhi by international flight. After a traditional 'Swagat' (Welcome), our representative will assist you at the airport and escort you to the hotel for check-in.
Delhi is a bustling metropolis where ancient history blends seamlessly with modern life. Its strategic location has made it the preferred seat of power for several dynasties. Mythological cities such as Indraprastha from the Mahabharata are believed to have existed here. Over centuries, rulers including Qutub-ud-din Aibak, Alauddin Khilji, the Tughlaqs, Humayun, and Shah Jahan built numerous monuments, including the magnificent Shah Jahanabad.
In the early 20th century, Sir Edwin Lutyens designed much of New Delhi, creating an impressive administrative centre showcasing British architectural influence. The contrast between Old Delhi and New Delhi also reflects two distinct lifestyles.
