Morning – Discover the Charm of Old Delhi

Jama Masjid

Next, you’ll explore India’s largest mosque — Jama Masjid. Climb its minaret for a stunning view of Old Delhi’s chaotic beauty.

Chandni Chowk & Rickshaw Ride

Here comes the real fun: a traditional rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk. This market is a sensory overload — fragrant spices, glittering bangles, buzzing tuk-tuks, and the aroma of street food everywhere.

Raj Ghat

A short drive takes you to Raj Ghat, the peaceful memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. It’s a quiet place to reflect on India’s freedom struggle.
