Day 3 - Discovering Delhi
We begin sightseeing in this chaotic yet charming city today,
taking a guided tour of both Old and New Delhi. This vibrant
metropolis presents a heady blend of medieval, colonial and modern
architecture and culture to admire, and, in order to really absorb
the unique atmosphere here, we set out on a rickshaw ride through
the narrow streets of the historic bazaar to Chandni Chowk, where
the smell of Indian spices floats on the air. We also visit Jama
Masjid, which boasts the title of India's largest mosque, Raj Ghat,
a simple but moving memorial to Gandhi, and the city's iconic Red
Fort. Later, we explore the wide, leafy avenues of New Delhi,
stopping at the India Gate war memorial, the grand Rashtrapati
Bhavan, Mughal Emperor Humayun's Tomb and Qutab Minar - India's
tallest stone tower.
