You can step out to stroll around in the nearby streets, browse local markets, or sample the city’s lively evening scene. Settle in later for a relaxed overnight stay at the hotel.
After you are done with breakfast, be prepared to experience Delhi’s enticing tourist spots. You’ll start with a visit to the serene Laxmi Narayan Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his consort, followed by a stop at India Gate, a prominent national memorial. Drive through the stately avenues of Lutyens’ Delhi, passing landmarks such as Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament House. Then comes the rustic beauty of Old Delhi. First up is Jama Masjid, then you’ll move on to historic sites including Qutub Minar, Purana Quila, Humayun’s Tomb, and Jantar Mantar. The day concludes at Raj Ghat (Mahatma Gandhi memorial), before returning to the hotel for dinner and sleep.
