Delhi Tourism, a government undertaking facilitating tourism since 1975 will take you to a
guided tour of the Delhi through this website which explores the wonders of this city be it its
heritage, the art and crafts, the diverse cuisine and culture.
 
A symbol of the country’s rich past and thriving present, Delhi is a city where ancient and
modern blend seamlessly together. It is a place that not only touches your pulse but even fastens
it to a frenetic speed. Home to millions of dreams, the city takes on unprecedented
responsibilities of realizing dreams bringing people closer and inspiring their thoughts.
 
Just a century ago, the British moved the seat of their empire from Kolkata to Delhi. And it has
been the Capital of India ever since. Now a thriving, cosmopolitan metro, the city has much to
celebrate as it has already reached the milestone of completing 100 years as a Capital. With a
history that goes back many centuries, Delhi showcases an ancient culture and a rapidly
modernizing country. Dotted with monuments there is much to discover here. The seat of many
powerful empires in the past, its long history can be traced in its many carefully-preserved
monuments, ancient forts and tombs.
 
All this is combined with the best features of a modern city such as a metro system, bustling
markets and fabulous eating places. The past and the present meld seamlessly together, making
centuries-old monuments a part of the city’s daily life. Delhi is very much a history’s child. The
story of the city is as old as the epic Mahabharata, when the town was known as Indraprastha,
where Pandavas used to live. Over the centuries, eight more cities came alive adjacent to
Indraprastha: Lal Kot, Siri, Dinpanah, Quila Rai Pithora, Ferozabad, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad
and Shahjahanabad. Many empires rose to the heights of their power and were destroyed here.
Among the prominent dynasties which made Delhi their capital were the Tughlaqs, the Khiljis
and the Mughals.
 
Even today, one can have a fascinating glimpse into the past in Old Delhi, with its labyrinth of
narrow lanes, old havelis, and colorful bazaars. Rickshaws wind their way through this crowded,
bustling capital of the Mughals, where life continues, much as it did hundreds of years ago. It is
home to three World Heritage monuments—Qutub Minar, Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb that
have survived many centuries, and give an idea of architectural wonders created by emperors in
the past. Central Delhi, with its tree-lined avenues, imposing structures and buildings such as the
Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House and India Gate, reflect Delhi’s colonial past. A number of
museums provide a glimpse into the country’s fascinating history.
 
But the modern Delhi has a lot more to offer. Delhi has a modern, well-planned and extensive
Metro network that connects all corners of Delhi; this network is still growing. New roadways
and flyovershave improved connectivity, the latest of which is the Signature Bridge, an
ambitious project of Delhi Tourism, which is under construction at Wazirabad – it promises to be
a landmark.
 
New malls and entertainment centres jostle for space with a growing number of brand new
hospitals, residential complexes, and sporting facilities. Delhi is now a dream destination for
those seeking expert medical attention and superior OPD and IPD facilities. Thanks to the advent
of the Commonwealth Games, there are world-class stadia like the revamped Nehru Stadium that
can be accessed by one and all, throughout the year. All of this has been developed and sustained
while maintaining Delhi’s green cover, a unique feature that distinguishes this truly global
metropolis from other cities in the world where the tree line is subdued by skyscrapers.
 
Besides the Metro, which connects all of Delhi’s landmarks to the city centre as well as most
suburbs, the new, a fun way to explore Delhi is by booking a HOHO bus tour. Hop on- Hop off
buses, better known as HO – HOs, have been introduced by Delhi Tourism for visitors who wish
to tour the city in a single day. With so many transport options, visitors now have the ability to
go wherever they want – and there are a lot of places to see and a lot of things to do here. There
are the age old-yet-perfectly preserved, sprawling heritage complexes featuring architecture from
the Mughal and Tughlaq periods.
 
The revamped Indira Gandhi International airport, now Terminal 3, provides visitors with their
first experience of a modern, world-class city which is keeping pace with the best in the world.
Terminal 3, from where international and many domestic carriers operate, has facilities which
are on par with the world’s most modern airports. The Airport Metro Express, which takes one to
the rail station in the heart of the city, in just 17 minutes, provides easy connectivity for visitors.
Whether you are travelling to Old Delhi, to Connaught Place or to Dilli Haat, the metro provides
an easy way of getting around the city. The numerous flyovers, wide roads and bus and auto
services also ensure that it is easy to explore the city.
 
New additions to the city, such as Akshardham Temple and also the Lotus Temple are also great
places to visit and give an idea of its multi-faceted culture. Delhi is also gaining recognition as a
cultural destination. Delhi Tourism’s major festivals—namely, the International Kite Festival,
Magic Festival, Itra and Sugandhi Mela, Mango Festival, Dilli ke Pakwaan, and Garden Tourism
Festival are becoming an integral part of Delhi’s cultural heritage.
 
No visit to Delhi is complete without an experience of its famed specialties such as its delicious
curries, barbecued tikkas and kebabs. It is also a shoppers’ haven, whether you want to pick up
some rich, woven silks, handicrafts, or ethnic cushions for your home. For cuisine of different
Indian states and an array of Indian art and craft there are three Dilli Haats in Delhi at INA,
Pitampura and the brand new Dilli Haat at Janakpuri.
 
It is time to celebrate this city which is a symbol of the country’s rich past and thriving present.
As a Capital city it is fittingly a window to the country. So come and look out of the window and
discover a whole new city of numerous stories and experiences.

 Ecology
Delhi is located in Northern India, at 28.61°N 77.23°E. The city is bordered on its northern,
western, and southern sides by the state of Haryana and to the east by that of Uttar Pradesh (UP).
Two prominent features of the geography of Delhi are the Yamuna flood plains and the Delhi
ridge. The Yamuna River was the historical boundary between Punjab and UP, and its flood
plains provide fertile alluvial soil suitable for agriculture but are prone to recurrent floods. The
Yamuna, a sacred river in Hinduism, is the only major river flowing through Delhi. The Hindon
River separates Ghaziabad from the eastern part of Delhi. The Delhi ridge originates from
the Aravalli Range in the south and encircles the west, northeast, and northwest parts of the city.
It reaches a height of 318 m (1,043 ft) and is a dominant feature of the region.[77] In addition to
the wetlands formed by the Yamuna river, Delhi continues to retain over 500 ponds (wetlands <
5 ha), that in turn support considerable number of bird species. Delhi's ponds, despite
experiencing ecological deterioration due to garbage dumping and concretization, supports the
largest number of bird species known to be using ponds anywhere in the world.[79] Existing
policy in Delhi prevents the conversion of wetlands and, quite inadvertently, has led to the city's
ponds becoming invaluable refugia for birds

The National Capital Territory of Delhi covers an area of 1,484 km2 (573 sq mi), of which

783 km2 (302 sq mi) is designated rural, and 700 km2 (270 sq mi) urban therefore making it the
largest city in terms of area in the country. It has a length of 51.9 km (32 mi) and a width of
48.48 km (30 mi).

Economy of Delhi

Delhi is the largest commercial center in northern India. As of 2016 recent estimates of the
economy of the Delhi urban area have been around $370 billion (PPP metro GDP) ranking it
either the most or second-most productive metro area of India.[20] The nominal GSDP of the
NCT of Delhi for 2016–17 was estimated at ₹6,224 billion (US$83 billion), 13% higher than in
2015–16.[147][12] As per the Economic survey of Delhi (2005–2006), the tertiary
sector contributes 70.95% of Delhi's gross SDP followed by secondary and primary sectors
with 25.20% and 3.85% contributions, respectively.[148] Delhi's workforce constitutes 32.82% of
the population, and increased by 52.52% between 1991 and 2001.[149] Delhi's unemployment rate
decreased from 12.57% in 1999–2000 to 4.63% in 2003.[149] In December 2004, 636,000 people
were registered with various employment exchange programs in Delhi.[149]
The Khari Baoli market in Old Delhi is one of the oldest and busiest in the city.

In 2001 the total workforce in national and state governments and the quasi-government sector
was 620,000, and the private sector employed 219,000.[149] Key service industries are
information technology, telecommunications, hotels, banking, media and tourism.
[150] Construction, power, health and community services and real estate are also important to the

city's economy. Delhi has one of India's largest and fastest growing retail industries.
[151] Manufacturing also grew considerably as consumer goods companies established

manufacturing units and headquarters in the city. Delhi's large consumer market and the
availability of skilled labour has also attracted foreign investment. In 2001, the manufacturing
sector employed 1,440,000 workers and the city had 129,000 industrial units.[152]

Utility services
Delhi's municipal water supply is managed by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). As of June 2005, it
supplied 650 million gallons per day (MGD), whereas the estimated consumption requirement is
963 MGD.[153] The shortfall is met by private and public tube wells and hand pumps. At
240 MGD, the Bhakra storage is DJB's largest water source, followed by the Yamuna
and Ganges rivers. Delhi's groundwater level is falling and its population density is increasing,
so residents often encounter acute water shortage.[153] Research on Delhi suggests that up to half
of the city's water use is unofficial groundwater.[154]
In Delhi, daily domestic solid waste production is 8000 tons which is dumped at
three landfill locations by MCD.[155] the daily domestic waste water production is 470 MGD and
industrial waste water is 70 MGD.[156] a large portion of the sewage flows untreated into the
Yamuna River.[156]

The city's electricity consumption is about 1,265 kWh per capita but the actual demand is higher.
[157] In Delhi power distribution is managed by TPDDL and BSES Yamuna & BSES Rajdhani

since 2002. The Delhi Fire Service runs 43 fire stations that attend about 15,000 fire and rescue
calls per year.[158] The state-owned BSNL and private enterprises such as Airtel, Vi, Jio, and
provide telephone and cell phone services to the city. Cellular coverage is available
in GSM, CDMA, 3G, 4G and 4G+.

Transport

Air
Indira Gandhi International Airport's new terminal in Delhi. It is the busiest airport in South
Asia.[159] Shown here is the immigration counter in Terminal 3.

Indira Gandhi International Airport, situated to the south-west of Delhi, is the main gateway
for the city's domestic and international civilian air traffic. In 2015–16, the airport handled more
than 48 million passengers,[160] making it the busiest airport in India and South Asia. Terminal 3,
which cost ₹96.8 billion (US$1.3 billion) to construct between 2007 and 2010, handles an
additional 37 million passengers annually.[161] In 2010, IGIA was conferred the 4th best airport
award in the world in the 15–25 million category, by Airports Council International. The
airport was rated as the Best airport in the world in the 25–40 million passengers category in
2015, by Airports Council International. Delhi Airport was awarded The Best Airport in Central
Asia and Best Airport Staff in Central Asia at the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2015.[162]
[163] Hindon Domestic Airport in Ghaziabad was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi

as the second airport for the Delhi-NCR Region on 8 March 2019.[164] A second international
airport open for commercial flights has been suggested either by expansion of Meerut
Airport or construction of a new airport in Greater Noida.[165] The Taj International
Airport project in Dewar has been approved by the Uttar Pradesh government.[166]

The Delhi Flying Club, established in 1928 with two de Havilland Moth aircraft

named Delhi and Roshanara, was based at Safdarjung Airport which started operations in
1929, when it was the Delhi's only airport and the second in India.[167] the airport functioned until
2001; however, in January 2002 the government closed the airport for flying activities because of
security concerns following the New York attacks in September 2001. Since then, the club
only carries out aircraft maintenance courses and is used for helicopter rides to Indira Gandhi
International Airport for VIP including the president and the prime minister.[167][168]

Road
The Delhi Transport Corporation operates three types of compressed natural gas buses, the
world's largest fleet.[121][169] The red- and green-roofed buses seen in the picture have low floors
whereas the orange buses have standard height. The elevated Delhi metro is seen above
in Azadpur.

The cycle rickshaw and the auto rickshaw are commonly used in Delhi for travelling short
distances.

Delhi has the highest road density of 2103 km/100 km2 in India.[170] It is connected to other parts
of India by five National Highways: NH 1, NH 2, NH 8, NH 10 and NH 24. The Delhi–
Mumbai and Delhi–Kolkata prongs of the Golden Quadrilateral start from the city. The city's
road network is maintained by MCD, NDMC, Delhi Cantonment Board, Public Works
Department (PWD) and Delhi Development Authority.[171]

Buses are the most popular means of road transport catering to about 60% of Delhi's total
demand.[172] Delhi has one of India's largest bus transport systems. In 1998, the Supreme Court
of India ruled that all public transport vehicles in Delhi must be fuelled by compressed natural
gas (CNG) to tackle increasing vehicular pollution.[173] The state-owned Delhi Transport
Corporation (DTC) is a major bus service provider which operates the world's largest fleet of
CNG-fuelled buses.[174][175] In addition, cluster scheme buses are operated by Delhi Integrated
Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) with the participation of private concessionaires and
DTC.[176][177] In December 2017, the DTC and cluster buses carried over 4.19 million passengers
per day.[178] Kashmiri Gate ISBT, Anand Vihar ISBT and Sarai Kale Khan ISBT are the
main bus terminals for outstation buses plying to neighboring states. Delhi's rapid rate of
economic development and population growth has resulted in an increasing demand for
transport, creating excessive pressure on the city's transport infrastructure. To meet the transport
demand, the State and Union government constructed a mass rapid transit system, including the
Delhi Metro.[179] Delhi Bus Rapid Transit System runs between Ambedkar Nagar and Delhi
Gate.

Personal vehicles especially cars also form a major chunk of vehicles plying on Delhi roads. As
of 2007, private vehicles account for 30% of the total demand for transport.[179] Delhi has the
highest number of registered cars compared to any other metropolitan city in India.[180] Taxis,
auto rickshaws, and cycle rickshaws also ply on Delhi roads in large numbers. As of 2008, the
number of vehicles in the metropolitan region, Delhi NCR, was 11.2 million (11.2 million).
[181] In 2008, there were 85 cars in Delhi for every 1,000 of its residents.[182] In 2017, the number

of vehicles in Delhi city alone crossed the ten million mark with the transport department
of Delhi Government putting the total number of registered vehicles at 10,567,712 until 25 May
of the year.[183]

Railway

A platform of the New Delhi railway station shows a passenger train and freight which awaits
pick up or transportation to other destinations. The pedestrian bridge overhead connects the
platforms.

Delhi is a major junction in the Indian railway network and is the headquarters of the Northern
Railway. The main railway stations are New Delhi, Old Delhi, Hazard Nizamuddin, Anand
Vihar, Delhi Sarai Rohilla and Delhi Cantt.[179] The Delhi Metro, a mass rapid transit system
built and operated by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), serves many parts of Delhi and
the neighbouring cities Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Noida.[184] As of August 2018,
the metro consists of eight operational lines with a total length of 296 km (184 mi) and 214
stations, and several other lines are under construction.[185] The Phase-I was built at a cost of
US$2.3 billion and the Phase-II was expected to cost an additional ₹216 billion (US$2.9 billion).
[186] Phase-II has a total length of 128 km and was completed by 2010.[187] Delhi

Metro completed 10 years of operation on 25 December 2012. It carries millions of passengers

every day.[188] In addition to the Delhi Metro, a suburban railway, the Delhi Suburban
Railway exists.[189]

Metro
Delhi Metro is widely used Delhi- NCR.

The Delhi Metro is a rapid transit system serving

Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Noida in the National Capital Region of India.
Delhi Metro is the world's tenth-largest metro system in terms of length. Delhi Metro was India's
second modern public transportation system. The network consists of eleven lines with a total
length of 311 kilometres (193 miles) with 214 stations, which are a mix of underground, at-grade
and elevated stations. All stations have escalators, lifts, and tactile tiles to guide the visually
impaired from station entrances to trains. There are 18 designated parking sites at Metro stations
to further encourage the use of the system. In March 2010, DMRC partnered with Google India
(through Google Transit) to provide train schedule and route information to mobile devices with
Google Maps. It has a combination of elevated, at-grade, and underground lines, and uses both
broad gauge and standard gauge rolling stock. Four types of rolling stock are used: Mitsubishi–
ROTEM Broad gauge, Bombardier MOVIA, Mitsubishi–ROTEM Standard gauge, and CAF
Beasain Standard gauge. The Phase-I of Delhi Metro was built at a cost of US$2.3 billion and the
Phase-II was expected to cost an additional ₹216 billion (US$2.9 billion).[186] Phase-II has a total
length of 128 km and was completed by 2010.[187] Delhi Metro completed 10 years of operation
on 25 December 2012. It carries millions of passengers every day.[188]

Delhi Metro is being built and operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
Limited (DMRC), a state-owned company with equal equity participation from the Government
of India and the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. However, the
organization is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Urban Development,
Government of India. Besides the construction and operation of Delhi Metro, DMRC is also
involved in the planning and implementation of metro rail, monorail, and high-speed rail projects
in India and providing consultancy services to other metro projects in the country as well as
abroad. The Delhi Metro project was spearheaded by Padma Vibhushan E. Sreedharan, the
managing director of DMRC and popularly known as the "Metro Man" of India. He famously
resigned from DMRC taking moral responsibility for a metro bridge collapse, which took five
lives. Sreedharan was awarded the Legion of Honour by the French Government for his
contribution to Delhi Metro.

† Huge population rise in 1951 due to large
scale migration after Partition of India in 1947.

According to the 2011 census of India, the population of NCT of Delhi is 16,753,235.  The
corresponding population density was 11,297 persons per km2 with a sex ratio of 866 women per
1000 men, and a literacy rate of 86.34%. In 2004, the birth rate, death rate and infant mortality
rate per 1000 population were 20.03, 5.59 and 13.08, respectively.[192] In 2001, the population of
Delhi increased by 285,000 as a result of migration and by 215,000 as a result of natural
population growth,[192] which made Delhi one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. Dwarka
Sub City, Asia's largest planned residential area, is located within the National Capital Territory
of Delhi.[193] Urban expansion has resulted in Delhi's urban area now being considered as
extending beyond the NCT boundaries to incorporate the towns and cities of neighbouring states
including Faridabad and Gurgaon of Haryana, and Ghaziabad and Noida of Uttar Pradesh,
the total population of which is estimated by the United Nations at over 28 million. According to
the UN this makes Delhi urban area the world's second-largest, after Tokyo,
[8] although Demographia declares the Jakarta urban area to be the second-largest.[194] the 2011

census provided two figures for urban area population: 16,314,838 within the NCT boundary,
[195] and 21,753,486 for the Extended Urban Area.[  The 2021 regional plan released by

the Government of India renamed the Extended Urban Area from Delhi Metropolitan Area

(DMA) as defined by the 2001 plan Central National Capital Region  (CNCR).[197][198] Around
49% of the population of Delhi lives in slums and unauthorized colonies without any civic
amenities. The majority of the slums have inadequate provisions to the basic facilities and
according to a DUSIB report, almost 22% of the people do open defecation.[200]

Major social groups of Delhi

include Ahir, Brahmins, Jats, Punjabis, Purvanchalis, Vaishyas, Gujjars, Sikhs, Muslims, U
ttarakhandis, Bengalis, etc

Festivals

More than a quarter of the immigrants in Delhi are from Bihar and neighboring states. Chhath, a
festival of rural Bihar is now popular in Delhi.[221]

On Basant Panchmi eve, qawwali singers wearing yellow headbands gather at

the dargah of sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya to sing verses from Amir Khusrau.
Delhi's association and geographic proximity to the capital, New Delhi, has amplified the
importance of national events and holidays like Republic Day, Independence Day (15 August)
and Gandhi Jayanti. On Independence Day, the Prime Minister addresses the nation from the
Red Fort. The Republic Day Parade is a large cultural and military parade showcasing India's
cultural diversity and military strength. Over the centuries, Delhi has become known for its
composite culture, and a festival that symbolizes this is the Phool Walon Ki Sair, which takes
place in September. Flowers and pankhe—fans embroidered with flowers—are offered to the
shrine of the 13th-century Sufi saint Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki and the Yogmaya Temple, both
situated in Mehrauli.

Religious festivals include Diwali (the festival of lights), Mahavir Jayanti, Guru Nanak's

Birthday, Raksha Bandhan, Durga Puja, Holi, Lohri, Chauth, Krishna Janmastami, Maha
Shivratri, Eid ul-Fitr, Moharram and Buddha Jayanti. The Qutub Festival is a cultural event
during which performances of musicians and dancers from all over India are showcased at night,
with the Qutub Minar as a backdrop. Other events such as Kite Flying Festival, International
Mango Festival and Vasant Panchami (the Spring Festival) are held every year in Delhi.

Vision of Delhi

VISION OF DELHI TOURISM To showcase the rich cultural heritage of the city, develop recreational
facilities to the tourist, promote Delhi as one of the most popular and preferred tourist destinations and
to increase the number of foreign tourist arrivals which will contribute to the economy of the city and
generate additional employment opportunities. To make Delhi’s tourism eco-friendly and cultural
heritage destination, there is a need to spread awareness among tourists as well as its citizens regarding
Delhi's glorious past.

History of Delhi
Delhi, the capital of India has a strong historical background. It was ruled by some of the most
powerful emperors in Indian history.

The history of the city is as old as the epic Mahabharata. The town was known as Indraprastha,
where Pandavas used to live. In due course eight more cities came alive adjacent to Indraprastha:
Lal Kot, Siri, Dinpanah, Quila Rai Pithora, Ferozabad, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad and
Shahjahanabad.

Delhi has been a witness to the political turmoil for over five centuries. It was ruled by the
Mughals in succession to Khiljis and Tughlaqs.

In 1192 the legions of the Afghan warrior Muhammad of Ghori captured the Rajput town, and
the Delhi Sultanate was established (1206). The invasion of Delhi by Timur in 1398 put an end
to the sultanate; the Lodis, last of the Delhi sultans, gave way to Babur, who, after the battle of
Panipat in 1526, founded the Mughal Empire. The early Mughal emperors favoured Agra as their
capital, and Delhi became their permanent seat only after Shah Jahan built (1638) the walls of
Old Delhi.
From Hindu Kings to Muslim Sultans, the reins of the city kept shifting from one ruler to
another. The soils of the city smell of blood, sacrifices and love for the nation. The old 'Havelis'
and edifices from the past stand silent but their silence also speaks volumes for their owners and
people who lived here centuries back.

In the year 1803 AD, the city came under the British rule. In 1911, British shifted their capital
from Calcutta to Delhi. It again became the center of all the governing activities. But, the city has
the reputation of over throwing the occupants of its throne. It included the British and the current
political parties that have had the honour of leading free India.
modern Delhi, popularly known as Lutyens' Delhi, bears a striking contrast to Old Delhi with
respect to architecture, building materials and layout. However, Modern Delhi itself dates back
to over a century when the British shifted their capital from Calcutta to Delhi. New Delhi, as it is
known today, designed by Lutyens, has wide-open lanes, avenues and buildings that are worth
traveling across the globe for.

Besides the usual tourist attractions of Modern Delhi - Rashtrapati India

Gate, Bhavan, Parliament House, North and South Block - which are stunning examples of
British architecture, you can also visit the various museums, temples and memorials that provide
a comprehensive and entertaining insight into the lives of Delhites.

National Museum, at par with any international museum, is an important place to visit in
modern Delhi. Here, you can catch glimpses of the rich historical past of India, from the ancient
period to the medieval ages.

National Rail Museum documents the more than 150-year-old history of Indian railways,
including the first steam engine that ran from Thane, Mumbai in 1853 that marked the beginning
of Indian Railways.

Modern Delhi

 has some popular temples of Modern India that are known not only for their religious
significance but also for their experimental designs that challenge conventional architectural
standards. The Lakshmi Narayan Temple (Birla Temple), built by the Birlas, is dedicated to the
worship of Lord Lakshmi Narayan (Vishnu). Another temple worth a visit on your tour of
Modern Delhi is the Lotus Temple built by followers of the Bahai faith. Built in the shape of a
blooming lotus, the temple draws thousands of tourists each day.

Iskon (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) Temple boasts of a vegetarian

restaurant, library, animatronics center and an upcoming museum besides the prayers and
meditation facilities.

The newly built Akshardham temple is a very popular destination for tourists and Delhites. The
temple is situated on the banks of Yamuna River, and is besides the Common Wealth Games
village.

New Delhi has memorials of famous freedom fighters and National leaders. Raj Ghat, Shanti
Van, Shakti Sthal are the resting place of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira
Gandhi respectively. You can also visit the Teen Murti Bhavan (Nehru Memorial Museum),
Gandhi Smriti and Indira Gandhi Memorial.

The capital has a charming mix of old and new world. On one side you can see
Old architectural sites, buzzing streets and exotic markets, and on the other side Delhi
has magnificent Malls, swan by overbridges, modern opulent high rise buildings and lots of
greenery.

Places to visit in Delhi

Delhi is both a union territory within India, as well as a city, and features two very different
worlds: New Delhi and Old Delhi. The former, inaugurated by the British in 1931 to serve as the
imperial capital, is the nation's modern capital and seat of government, while Old Delhi is
considered by many as the symbolic heart of the greater metropolitan area.
One of the most populous regions in the world – it boasts a population of nearly 20 million
people – Delhi is a heady mix of tradition and modernity, and is important as both a religious
center and India's busiest international gateway. Its history is as old as the ancient Yamuna
River, one of the most sacred rivers in Hinduism and a natural dividing line between New Delhi
to the west and Old Delhi to the east.
Things to see and do in Delhi and New Delhi are plentiful and include experiencing its diverse
arts and crafts industry, its many magnificent monuments, and countless performing arts venues.
The area is also well known for its excellent cuisine, which includes delicacies from every corner
of India. Delhi is also a shopper's paradise with numerous bazaars and markets, including
Chandni Chowk, the country's most famous commercial area.
1. The Red Fort
The beautiful Red Fort (Lal Qila) was built by Shah Jahan in 1648 and served as the seat of
Mughal power until 1857. This stunning structure, with its tall, red sandstone walls covers an
area of more than two square kilometers, the entirety of which is crescent shaped and surrounded
by a moat.
The impressive main entrance, the Lahore Gate, is so named as it faces towards Lahore in
Pakistan, while the even grander Delhi Gate was used by the emperor for ceremonial
processions. Entering through the Lahore Gate, visitors reach Chhatta Chowk, a 17th-century
covered bazaar where items such as silks, jewelry, gems, and silverware can be purchased, along
with souvenirs and food items.
The Naubat Khana within the Red Fort once housed the musicians who played for the emperor,
and its fine galleries still contain many interesting musical instruments such as kettledrums,
gongs, and cymbals. Diwan-I-Am, the Hall of Public Audiences, where the emperor would
receive his subjects, is also worth seeing for its stunning white marble.
A great way to see the Red Fort and other popular Delhi attractions is by booking a private full-
day tour of Old and New Delhi. Highlights of this nine-hour urban adventure include a personal
professional guide and driver who'll take you to such points of interest as Humayun's Tomb,
Qutub Minar, as well as Jama Masjid, India Gate, and the famous Lotus Temple. Included with
your tour are hotel pickup and a ride in a rickshaw.
Address: Netaji Subhash Marg, Chandni Chowk, New Delhi, Delhi 110006, India
Official site: www.indiaculture.nic.in/red-fort-complex

2. Qutub Minar
Completed in the 12th century, the beautiful Qutub Minar is India's tallest minaret. It's also now
a UNESCO Word Heritage Site that attracts many international visitors eager to climb to the top
for its breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
This ornate five-story tower rises more than 70 meters and is covered with intricate carvings
featuring the history of Qutub along with inscriptions from the Koran. It's also notable for being
constructed of a number of different types of stone (the first three stories are made of red
sandstone, while the fourth and fifth stories were built with marble and sandstone).
The complex also includes the Quwwat-ul-Islam Masjid, a mosque at the base of the tower; a
gateway built in 1310; and the tombs of Altamish, Alauddin Khalji, and Imam Zamin. Also
worth seeing is the 2,000-year-old Iron Pillar, the Alai Minar.
Address: Mehrauli, New Delhi, Delhi 110030, India
Official site: www.qutubminar.org

3. Lodi Gardens
One of the most popular New Delhi parks among locals, the 90-acre Lodi Gardens is well-worth
including on your Delhi itinerary. In addition to its lush gardens, the park contains numerous
relics from the Lodi period pre-1600s, including a variety of important tombs and ruins.
Architectural highlights include 15th-century mausoleums containing the remains of the Lodi
Sultans, as well as a picturesque triple-domed mosque, the Glazed Dome, known for its blue
tiles, and the ruins of a huge dome dating from around 1490. Be sure to also look for the
Athpula, an eight-pier bridge dating from the 16th century with its attractive columns and arches
that span the park's lake.
Lodi Gardens is also known for its flora and fauna, including more than 100 species of native
trees, 50 species of butterflies, and plenty of birdlife. It's also home to the country's National
Bonsai Park.
While in the vicinity, take the short five-minute walk to the popular Khan Market. This bustling
(and very safe) area in fact ranks among the world's most prestigious shopping districts, with
luxury brands rubbing shoulders with street vendors selling local delicacies.
Address: Lodhi Road, New Delhi, Delhi, India
 4. The Lotus Temple
The magnificent Bahá'í House of Worship, also known as the Lotus Temple due to its nine sides
and stunning central dome, is an architectural masterpiece. Constructed of white concrete and
marble, the entire structure looks as delicate as the flower it resembles. Rising from the
surrounding nine pools of water, it almost appears as if it might burst into bloom at any moment.
Built in 1986, the temple has since attracted more than 70 million visitors, making it one of the
world's most visited attractions. Interestingly, this remarkable place of worship has no idols,
religious pictures, or outward symbols of religion.
Another modern day temple worthy of a visit is the ISKCON Temple, one of the country's
biggest Krishna temple complexes.
Address: Lotus Temple Road, Shambhu Dayal Bagh, Bahapur, New Delhi, Delhi, India
Official site: www.bahaihouseofworship.in
5. India Gate
Looking a little like the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the equally impressive India Gate is a
magnificent stone arch built as a memorial to Indian soldiers killed in WWI. An eternal flame
burns beneath the massive structure, and its walls are inscribed with the names of more than
90,000 soldiers who died in the conflict.
Standing on a base of red stone and featuring a shallow domed bowl on top that is occasionally
filled with burning oil (usually only on important anniversaries), the structure dominates the
parkland around it, an always busy area with crowds of tourists and locals alike enjoying a picnic
or simply relaxing.
For a real treat, try to see the India Gate at night, considered one of the top free things to do in
New Delhi. It's a spectacular sight when it and nearby fountains are floodlit.
Address: Rajpath, India Gate, New Delhi, Delhi, India

the country's tourism capital as from Heritage Monuments to Modern Markets, Old Delhi's
traditional mornings to night-life attract national and international tourists. But due to lack of

coming to Delhi spends an average of one day in Delhi. Whereas in cities like London,
Singapore and Tokyo a tourist spends an average of 3 days. Delhi government is planning that a
tourist visiting Delhi should spend at least two days in Delhi on an average. Only a difference of
one day will create new jobs in Delhi and new opportunities for growth in the economy. Under

brand in the country and abroad for domestic and foreign tourists. Every domestic and foreign
