Description
Step back in time on this immersive walking tour through the heart of Old Delhi, where centuries of history, culture, and commerce come alive. With an expert local guide, explore iconic Mughal-era monuments and bustling markets that showcase the soul of the city.
Your tour begins at the majestic Red Fort (Lal Qila), a 17th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site and former residence of Mughal emperors. Admire its impressive red sandstone architecture and learn about its role in India’s history.
From here, continue on foot to Jama Masjid, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in India. Climb its minaret (optional) for panoramic views of Old Delhi, and experience the spiritual energy of this sacred space.
Next, dive into the vibrant chaos of Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi’s most famous market street. Navigate through narrow lanes filled with traditional shops, spices, fabrics, sweets, and jewelry. Enjoy a rickshaw ride or walk through alleys like Khari Baoli (Asia’s largest spice market) and Dariba Kalan (silver jewelry lane), getting a real feel for local life.
As you wander, your guide will share stories of emperors, traders, and saints, revealing the layers of history embedded in every corner. You'll also stop at hidden gems like Sis Ganj Gurudwara or historic havelis (mansions), rarely visited by tourists.
