DELHI TRAVEL GUIDE

The capital city of India, home to the Prime Minister, the President, the best street food, shopping and famous attractions, Delhi is a fabulous holiday destination as part of any itinerary to India.The city is divided into new completely contrasting parts: Old and New Delhi. Narrow, cobbled lanes, crumbling havelis (palaces) with the call for Islamic prayer sounding out from the beautiful mosques and the intoxicating aromas of freshly cooked street food filling your nostrils as you take a chaotic rickshaw ride into the hidden depths of the exotic Chandni Chowk are all part of the mystery that makes up Old Delhi. A world away from the chaos and humdrum are the quiet, tree-lined boulevards with high fences & grassy hedges behind which sit the imposing buildings housing India's political leaders.The Gandhis, from the Mahatma himself to the iconic Indira and her descendants have all resided here.Today, it is the assassinated Rajiv Gandhi's Italian widow, Sonia, who serenely oversees the running of India's economy from the shadow of the Prime Minister's office.
