I would love to show you around this gem of a city! I have lived in Delhi throughout most of my life and can introduce you to the many historical, cultural and gastronomic delights this city has to offer!
"I asked my soul what is Delhi? She replied, The world is the body and Delhi it's life" - Mirza Ghalib
One of Delhi's favourite sons and poet laureate Mirza Ghalib has described the greatness of this city through this short couplet. Delhi is a city that is steeped in history and culture yet, it is hurtling toward the 21st century with a newfound confidence! It is a city unlike any other where one can find ancient ruins littered in between a city that houses 25 million people.
My tour of New Delhi will make you experience this synergy of the modern and the medieval.
The tour will start from Jorbagh metro station and we will end at Khan market. We will visit the 18th-century safdurjung tomb and the story behind its cannibalized building material, The Lodhi gardens and the mystery of its eight pillared bridge, the Lodhi art district and its Instagramable locations, and many more things!
I will be standing in front of the Jor Bagh metro station gate no.1
This 18th century onion domed tomb is a great example of late Mughal architecture. We'll explore the interesting story behind why the Nawab of Lucknow is buried here in Delhi and uncover the mystery behind its cannibalised building materials
We'll explore the stories hidden in this green and expansive public park. Structures ranging from the 15th to the 19th century are littered throughout the park.
