Appreciate the significant monuments of Delhi.

The mosque is often considered a pinnacle of Indian mosque architecture due to its impressive size and grandeur. • After visiting Jama Masjid, board a cycle rickshaw or tuk-tuk and relax as you pass through the vibrant bazaars of Old Delhi while your guide discusses their importance to the local community. Ride through Khari Baoli, Asia's largest spice market dating back to the 17th century, and learn about various spices and their health benefits. Prepare for a sensory experience at the famous Chandni Chowk. • Drive around and stop for photographs of the Red Fort, which can only be viewed from outside as most of it is under the Indian Army's control. Capture images of this iconic structure. • Visit Raj Ghat, a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, consisting of a simple black marble platform representing the site of his cremation following his assassination in 1948. A memorial service is held every Friday in his honor. • Take pictures at India Gate, a 140-foot-high gateway resembling the Arc de Triomphe, built as a war memorial for the 70,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army who died in World War I. An eternal flame burns continuously to remember those who fell during the 1971 India-Pakistan War. • Drive around to see the Parliament House, designed by architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. It houses the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, and a library hall, functioning as the center of governance for a nation of 1.3 billion people. • Continue to the Rashtrapati Bhawan, formerly known as the Viceroy's House, celebrated for its impressive architecture and vastness. Few official residences of heads of state can compete with its grandeur and scale. • Enjoy a buffet lunch if the all-inclusive option has been selected. • After lunch, visit Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a significant Sikh worship site linked to the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan. The complex features a large community kitchen that serves free meals, or 'langar', to around 25,000 people daily.
