After check-in, the remainder of the day is reserved for relaxation and recovery from the international flight.

Depending on arrival time, a short orientation drive through central Delhi can also be arranged to provide an introduction to the city’s landmarks and neighborhoods.

After breakfast, begin your exploration of Old Delhi, the historic heart of the Mughal Empire. The morning starts with a visit to Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest mosques built by Emperor Shah Jahan. The surrounding lanes of Chandni Chowk reveal a completely different atmosphere where spice markets, jewelry shops, food vendors, and centuries-old trading houses continue their traditions. A traditional rickshaw ride through these narrow streets offers one of the most memorable local experiences in Delhi.
Continue to Raj Ghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, before driving toward New Delhi, designed during the British colonial era. The contrast between Old and New Delhi becomes immediately visible through broad boulevards, government buildings, landscaped gardens, and elegant architecture.
