What is Delhi all about – even a hard core Delhiite would find it hard to describe in a few words. It is India’s biggest metro, a cultural hub, a history buff’s dream, a cosmopolitan potpourri, a place to see, be seen. There are so many facets to Delhi, that there is something for every kind of tourist here.
There are a plethora of places to visit in Delhi. One could start with the India Gate and work your way to the Lodhi tombs and Gardens, the Jantar Mantar, red fort, Kutub Minar, Purana Qila, parliament house…and that would be a good start. There are numerous art galleries and museums for art lovers, at least a half a dozen big markets for the shopper, numerous temples, mosques, places of worship of every religion, parks, zoo, amusement parks, theatres – think of anything that you like to see, and you will find it in Delhi.
Just step out of Delhi, and you have a whole new world of places to see in Delhi; within a 100-250 km radius, you could see the world famous Taj Mahal, tiger reserves and hill stations.
One could spend a whole week here just to soak in the ambiance. Every part of Delhi would have something different to offer, be it the high grounds of posh south Delhi, the older and more traditional old Delhi, with its narrow but charming streets and bylanes, the newer localities of Noida and Gurgaon that can give any large city in the world something to compete, with its glitzy highrises and malls.
It’s all here in Delhi.
