Chapter Three — Activities & Sightseeing

The Real Stops Along the Way

1 of your 3days — the full day-by-day plan follows below.

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.

Humayun's Tomb, the 16th-century Mughal garden mausoleum in Delhi, mirrored in a garden pool

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.

The ceremonial Kartavya Path axis in Lutyens' New Delhi, its broad avenue running toward the domed Secretariat blocks and Rashtrapati Bhavan on Raisina Hill.

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.
