Day 01: Delhi
On arrival in Delhi, receive a traditional 'Swagat' (welcome) and transfer to your hotel for check-in.
Delhi is a vibrant metropolis that blends ancient heritage with modern life. Its strategic location made it the seat of power for several dynasties over centuries. Mythologically, it is believed to have been the site of Indraprastha, mentioned in the Mahabharata. Rulers such as Qutub-ud-din Aibek, Alauddin Khilji, the Tughlaqs, Humayun, and Shah Jahan contributed to the city’s architectural legacy, including the creation of the walled city of Shahjahanabad.
In the early 20th century, much of New Delhi was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, creating a grand administrative capital during the British era. The contrast between Old Delhi and New Delhi reflects differing architectural styles and lifestyles.
