About This Journey

Delhi City Break — Premium

Three days, entirely in Delhi, with nothing else competing for your time. Rather than splitting the trip with a day trip out of the city, this itinerary spends every day going deeper into the capital itself — its Mughal core, its old city and its colonial new city.

You arrive among Delhi's Mughal landmarks, then spend a full day walking Shahjahanabad, the walled old city, before moving to Lutyens' New Delhi and its garden tombs on day three. It's a city break in the fullest sense: no long transfers, no early departures for another town, just Delhi told properly.

  1. 01

    Old Delhi on foot, not from a car window

    Day two is given entirely to Shahjahanabad — the walled city built by Shah Jahan — walked rather than driven, which is the only way its lanes and bazaars really work.

  2. 02

    New Delhi's other side

    Day three turns to Lutyens' wide, planned capital and its garden tombs — a deliberate contrast to Old Delhi's density the day before.

  3. 03

    A base to match your tier

    The luxury package is based at The Imperial New Delhi; the premium package at Haveli Dharampura, a restored haveli inside Old Delhi.

A crowded, narrow lane in Old Delhi hemmed by shopfronts, with scooters and pedestrians threading past under a canopy of tangled overhead wires.

Day 2 · Delhi

Old Delhi in Depth — Shahjahanabad on Foot

A whole day inside the walled city Shah Jahan built. The Jama Masjid first, then a long walk through the lanes: the spice market at Khari Baoli, the silver and wedding-card bazaars, a working Jain temple with a bird hospital, and the crumbling merchant havelis. Lunch is a Mughlai thali at a decades-old kitchen near the mosque. The afternoon takes in the Red Fort. It is the day that makes sense of the rest of Delhi.

Every day, start to finish — including the transfers the day-by-day chapter above skipped.

Arrival in Delhi — Mughal Landmarks

A private airport pickup in Delhi, then a first afternoon among the city's Mughal landmarks. Humayun's Tomb, finished in 1570, was the first great garden tomb built in India. Its design was later echoed in the Taj Mahal. Qutub Minar rises more than 70 metres and dates from the 12th century. It is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Old Delhi adds the Red Fort and the broad steps of the Jama Masjid. The evening is free before the drive to Rajasthan.

New Delhi — Lutyens' Capital & the Garden Tombs

A calmer day in the green, planned half of the city. The morning is the imperial layout: the Kartavya Path axis, India Gate, and the sandstone Secretariat buildings on Raisina Hill, with a drive past the President's house. Then Humayun's Tomb, the sixteenth-century garden-tomb that led to the Taj. The afternoon is the Lodhi Garden, walking among the fifteenth-century domes, and time in Khan Market. An easy, shaded day.
