Description

Step into the living story of Delhi — where ancient empires, bustling bazaars, and artistic traditions coexist — guided by an expert local woman who shares the city’s culture from her unique perspective. Begin in Old Delhi, where the grand Jama Masjid rises above a maze of lanes alive with color and aroma. Ride a traditional rickshaw through Chandni Chowk, passing spice markets, silver shops, and vibrant wedding bazaars. Pause to enjoy a local chai and stories of daily life. Visit Raj Ghat, a peaceful memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, before continuing to Humayun’s Tomb, an exquisite Mughal masterpiece and the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. The journey continues to a family-run artisan workshop, where craftspeople demonstrate traditional Indian techniques such as block printing, embroidery, or jewelry making. Interact with the artisans, learn about their heritage, and understand how these skills empower local communities — especially women.
