Old Delhi is like a walk through time — chaotic yet captivating, packed with stories, spice markets, temples, and history on every corner.

Raj Ghat

Visit the serene memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, where he was cremated. The simplicity of this black marble platform is deeply moving.

Second Half: Discovering New Delhi

New Delhi reflects the British colonial era and the country’s journey into modernity. Wide roads, lush gardens, and majestic government buildings paint a very different picture than Old Delhi.
