Day 01
: Arrive Delhi
Arrive by International flight, after traditional 'Swagat'
(Welcome) our representative would assist you at airport &
transfer to hotel for check in.
Delhi is a bustling metropolis, which successfully
combines in its folds the ancient with modern. Its
strategic location was the prime reasonzs why successive
dynasties chose it as their seat of power. In fact, more
mythological cities are believed to be here, like the city
of Indraprastha from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, founded
around 5000 BC. Numerous monuments were built over several
centuries by different rulers like Qutub-ud-din Aibek,
Alauddin Khilji, Tughlaks, Humayun & Shah Jahan, who built
the Walled City Shah Jahanabad.
Later in first half of 20th century much of New Delhi was
planned by Sir Edwin Lutyens, who laid out a grandiose
central administrative area as a testament to British rule
in India. The division in walled city & New Delhi also
marks the division in life styles.
