Day 2 - Delhi Sightseeing

The second day of tour will be exciting and adventurous.

Today the tour will go out for sightseeing in Delhi. In itself, Delhi is one of the most amazing and diverse cities in the whole world. Since times immemorial, it has been ruled by different dynasties from different cultures at different points of time, because of which one can find cultural and architectural diversity in the city like no other city.

Delhi has 2 main areas - Old Delhi and New Delhi.

Old Delhi is that area which contains all the historical and architectural beauty of different eras of Delhi. It is the place that tells us about the times which this city stood by.

New Delhi is the area that speaks about the newer times. It speaks of robust development and modern architecture, which shows just how far India as a nation has come.

Just after a scrumptious breakfast, the tour heads out for sightseeing in the city of Delhi. Proceed with the touring and come up to the center of the city for visiting Rajghat-the commemoration and cremation sites of Mahatma Gandhi. The black marble complex which is put up in the middle is the actual place of Gandhiji. It is surrounded by green grass and trees that were planted by famous personalities such as US President and World War 2 leader Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth II. Following this is the visit to the greatest mosque of India, the Jama Masjid. It was raised in the sixteenth century by Shah Jahan. This sandstone and white marble structure can hold around 25000 people at one time. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, it is made up of red sandstone and has a nice blend of Persian and Islamic architecture.

After this, the tour departs for a visit to some other destinations of Delhi. One of the most beautiful places in Delhi that you can visit is Humayun's tomb. Humayun was a Mughal King and his tomb is made up of red sandstone and has beautiful gardens. In fact, it inspired the design of the Taj Mahal.

Qutub Minar, which is situated in the south part of Delhi is the biggest brick minaret in the world. This UN World Heritage Site is going to mesmerize you.

While sightseeing, you will also be able to shop in the streets of Delhi all along.

While driving by these locations, you will also be driving by some iconic political buildings such as the Indian Parliament, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Diplomatic enclaves.

The journey from Jaipur to Delhi is about 270 kilometers long.

After reaching Jaipur, you would be assisted to your hotel for a check-in, and you can spend the rest of the day at your own leisure.
