Delhi
Don't let your first impressions of Delhi stick, get behind the madcap facade and discover the inner peace of a city rich with culture, architecture and human diversity, deep with history and totally addictive to epicureans.
Both 'Old' and ‘New’ Delhi exert a beguiling charm on people who come for a visit here. Lose yourself and unwinding the secrets of the city's Mughal past in the labyrinthine streets of 'Old' Delhi before emerging in the wide open spaces of imperial New Delhi, with its ordered governmental vistas and generous leafy avenues.
Delhi is the capital of India, and it's also the travel hub of northern India.
Places we visited:
Qutub Minar (tallest stone tower in India),
Raj Ghat (is a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi),
Red Fort (built by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan)
Lotus Temple (The Bahá'í House of Worship, popularly known as the Lotus Temple due to its flowerlike shape),
Jama Masjid (largest mosque in India) we were a bit upset seeing the surrounding area of the Jama Masjid, this is a travel hot spot and the shops and streets covering the Masjid are very dirty and unhygienic!
Chandni Chowk (the main market of delhi)
India gate (is one of the largest war memorials in India, was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens),
Rashtrapati Bhavan (is the official residence of the President of India),
Akshardham Temple (you need atleast 4 hrs to enjoy this beautiful place thoroughly, but no mobiles or cameras are allowed here),
Humayun's Tomb – (build by humayun’s wife)
