Capital: Delhi
Overview:
Your first experience
in Delhi can easily
be compared to squeezing
a slice of lemon directly
onto your tongue.
You may tingle, wink
or just say enough
for now!! But it will
definitely get your
attention. If you
love the climate and
the people in Delhi,
you will find reasons
of coming back to
the capital of India.
If alone, you can
easily get lost in
the crowd and the
tourist hustle bustle.
One of the most fascinating
aspects of Delhi is
the "visibility" of
its historic past.
Were it not for the
demands of urbanization,
large portions of
the city could well
be earmarked as archaeological
parks. This is because
the rulers of successive
dynasties between
the 13th and the 17th
centuries established
seven cities in different
parts of Delhi. A
chronological review
of these cities fortunately
also serves as a suitable
itinerary for tourists
and highlights the
important monuments
amongst the 1300 officially
listed.

Narrating
the city's Mughal
past, Old Delhi, takes
you through the narrow
lanes of Chandani
Chawk, passing through
formidable mosques
of Jama Masjid, just
opposite to it lays
the famous monument
of Red fort. The imperial
city of New Delhi
highlights the monumental
structures of India
Gate, President House
representing the colonial
style of architecture.
It has retained its
traditional appeal
amidst the modern
vibrancy. Besides
its monumental heritage,
Delhi is also a shopper's
paradise and has most
exciting nightlife
in its disco-thecae,
restaurants, and cinema
halls.
The city is a travel
hub of entire India.
Delhi is India's main
point of arrival for
overseas visitors,
and the major transport
hub for destinations
in the states of Rajasthan,
Punjab, Himachal Pradesh,
Ladakh as well as
Central and North
India. Today it offers
tourists beyond their
expectations, to both
business travellers
and vacationers. With
more than 20 five-star
