Delhi

Delhi, the capital city of India, demonstrates a striking mix of ancient and modern. The third biggest metropolitan of India, Delhi touches the base with the west end of Gangetic plain and remarkably exhibits a rich spectre of culture, architecture and human diversity. With an eventful and glorious history, a plethora of monuments, museums, galleries and gardens dominate the heart of the city.

The two conflicting parts, the Old Delhi and New Delhi, fetch a fine blend of pristine new look and splendid past. More so, Delhi brilliantly caters the needs of tourists through its wide ranging sites, and also forms the core of Northern India. The older and famous Mughal past is obvious everywhere in the city through the murky streets, mosques, monuments and forts. Having forever been the place of great importance, it had served as the capital of many erstwhile dynasties.  

The history apart, lively and multi-coloured ambience sets the capital apart from rest of the Indian cities. Charming bazaars are there in good number, giving a wide range of items even in quite lower prices. The contrast of old and new is apparent once tourists stroll around in the Old Delhi right after visiting the New Delhi.

Loads of historical monuments, buildings, forts and muddled ambience define the Old Delhi. New Delhi gives an entirely different aura of modernity and rapid growth. Cleaner roads, spacious localities, imposing government buildings and westernised life-styles form the core of the New Delhi.  
Besides the contrast, tourists get to observe the structures like the Qutab Minor Complex, frequented by the guests intensely, the Taj Mahal of Delhi (Safdarjang’s Tomb) etc. The Red Fort and India Gate have forever been the most sought-after sites to experience the beautiful past of India.
Rashtrapati Bhavan, Janter-Manter, Akshardham Temple, Lotus Temple, Birla Mandir are some other highly renowned sites in the city. The newly built metro rail also gives a soothing relief to the eyes, and a ride could further quench the thirst of those who have interest in modernity.
