Explore the sights of Old and New Delhi on a customizable private tour that
Begin in New Delhi, Drive past the stately India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Residence), and Sansad Bhavan (Parliament House). Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the towering Qutub Minar and the magnificent Humayun’s Tomb, whose elegant Mughal architecture inspired the Taj Mahal.
Then step back in time as you enter the bustling charm of Old Delhi. Experience the energy of Chandni Chowk on a cycle rickshaw ride through its narrow lanes, where centuries of trade and tradition still thrive. Visit Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest mosques, and pay homage at Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. The contrast between Old and New Delhi reveals the city’s vibrant layers—from Mughal majesty to colonial grandeur to modern dynamism.
After discovering the living spirit of Delhi, the tour takes a more reflective turn with a visit to Gandhi Smriti, the former Birla House where Mahatma Gandhi spent the final 144 days of his life. The serene grounds and simple rooms have been preserved to reflect his way of life. See his personal belongings, including his spinning wheel and sandals, and follow the footsteps that lead to the Martyr’s Column, marking the spot where he was assassinated in 1948. Inside the museum, photographs, audio recordings, and exhibits tell the story of Gandhi’s message of Satyagraha (truth-force) and Ahimsa (nonviolence).
Conclude your journey at the National Museum on Janpath, one of India’s most important cultural institutions. Though compactly visited, it offers a window into over 5,000 years of Indian history, with galleries displaying artifacts from the Indus Valley Civilization, Buddhist art, Mughal miniatures, and ancient jewelry and sculpture.
This thoughtfully designed tour blends Delhi’s monumental landmarks with its moral and cultural heritage—an inspiring journey through India’s past, its struggle for freedom, and the spirit that continues to shape the nation today.
