Delhi

Delhi is the gateway to India’s Golden Triangle and far more than a starting point. From the Mughal grandeur of the Red Fort and Jama Masjid to the colonial sweep of Lutyens’ New Delhi, the capital rewards those who linger. The city truly comes alive after dark too, with India Gate, Connaught Place, and the riverside ghats among the best places to visit in Delhi at night. No visit is complete without tasting your way through the city either, from old-city street food to refined Mughlai feasts that rank among the best food to try in Delhi.  And when you need a break from the bustle, the city’s stylish best cafes in Delhi are perfect for a relaxed coffee or brunch. From Chandni Chowk’s bustling lanes to modern boutiques and craft emporiums, the capital is also a paradise for shopping in Delhi. From heritage landmarks to sleek five-stars, the city also offers some of the country’s finest stays, rounded up in our guide to the best hotels in Delhi.  Most of our Indian Golden Triangle tour begin and end here, and we know every corner of the city worth your time.

Delhi is also the ideal launchpad for same-day escapes. From here you can reach the Taj Mahal in Agra in under 3 hours, or spend a day exploring the Pink City of Jaipur, both covered in our popular same day trips and 1 day trip options.
