Day 1
New Delhi - The CityThe plain area to the west of the Yamuna River, where Delhi l ies today, has been a centre of civi l isation for mil lennia. Indraprastha, the city ofthe Pandavas, is mentioned in the 3,000-year-old Mahabharata Hindu text, a city sited where the Old Fort now stands. Delhi is a city ofmetamorphosis in terms of physical buildings, people and culture from the early Hindu rulers to Islam. There was a succession of Islamicdynasties, reaching their zenith with the architectural wonders of the Mughals, and in particular Shah Jahan, builder of the Red Fort and JamaMasjid. His city, Shahjahanabad, is today’s Old Delhi with its tangled, intoxicating streets and bazaars.
These contrast with the imperial project of the last rulers of India, the British, who in 1911 built their imperial capital to the south of Old Delhi.The broad boulevards and geometric order of New Delhi give the capital its other distinct half. Designed by Lutyens, the European classicalgrandeur now has a distinctly Indian flavour, and much of New Delhi is fast gaining the shiny glass-and-steel look of the modern Asianmetropolises. You wil l find all races, faiths and customs of every region of India alongside one another on the streets of Delhi.
New Delhi - Do & SeeNew Delhi is a bustl ing city full of people and beautiful architecture. There are many temples spread over the region, all worth a visit foranyone interested in these architectural wonders. Just walking the streets of New Delhi is a unique experience. You soon notice that this cityhas many things to fall in love with.

New Delhi - ShoppingDelhi is a shopper’s paradise with just about anything you can think of available somewhere at some price. One thing that often intimidatesvisitors from abroad is the art of haggling, though, with a few days practices, it can become an integral part of the shopping experience andputs the hunt for a bargain in your own hands.
The area around Connaught Place has several state-run emporiums where you can buy Indian handicrafts at fixed prices. The Central CottageIndustries Emporium on Janpath has six floors of merchandise, while the regional State Emporiums on Baba Kharak Singh Marg focus on thearts from their particular region. The thoroughfare of Janpath, running south from Connaught Place, is also a top spot for texti le shopping.
