Your journey begins the moment you land at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), where you will meet your hosts, Upasna and Arun upon arrival. A private driver will take us to our luxury heritage hotel, our home for the first three nights of the journey.
Take some time to settle into your accommodation, enjoy the snacks and beverages provided, and explore the beautiful hotel grounds.
In the early evening, we will have our first group meeting, followed by dinner at a local restaurant, where we can get to know each other and share in the excitement of the adventure ahead.
We ease into our first full day in Delhi with breakfast at the hotel before setting out to explore some of the city’s most captivating landmarks with a knowledgeable local guide.
Our morning begins at Humayun’s Tomb, the magnificent Mughal mausoleum that inspired the Taj Mahal itself. Its symmetrical gardens and soaring red sandstone architecture make for an awe inspiring start to the day. We then step back even further in time at Agrasen Ki Baoli, a hauntingly beautiful ancient stepwell tucked quietly into the heart of the city, a hidden gem few visitors discover.
A leisurely South Indian lunch offers a delicious introduction to one of India’s most beloved regional cuisines: fragrant, vibrant, and entirely distinct from the rich flavors of the north.
The afternoon unfolds at the Lodhi Art District, where world class street murals transform an entire neighborhood into an open air gallery. We stroll through Lodhi Gardens where centuries old tombs and manicured lawns offer a peaceful respite from the city’s energy.
As evening approaches, we make our way to India Gate at sunset, Delhi’s beloved war memorial glowing warmly against the fading sky. The night concludes at one of Delhi’s most celebrated fine dining destinations, where contemporary Indian cuisine becomes fine art, closing a day rich in culture and beauty.
We begin our morning with breakfast at the hotel before immersing ourselves in the soul of the city on a guided Old Delhi food tour by foot and rickshaw. Winding through ancient lanes and bustling bazaars our expert local guide leads us through a tapestry of aromas, flavors, and stories that have defined this neighborhood for centuries, tasting as we go at some of its most cherished and time honored establishments.
No visit to Old Delhi is complete without a stop for kulfi, India’s beloved traditional frozen dessert. We indulge at one of the city’s most celebrated kulfi shops, a sweet, creamy stop that has delighted generations of locals and tourists alike.
We return to the hotel for a restful afternoon, a welcome pause before the evening’s extraordinary experiences unfold.
As dusk approaches, we make our way to Akshardham Temple, one of the most breathtaking spiritual monuments in the world. The sheer scale and intricacy of its hand-carved stone work is humbling, and the temple grounds offer a profound sense of peace and wonder. Light bites are enjoyed onsite before we gather for the magnificent Water & Light Show, a spectacular sensory experience that brings ancient Indian mythology to life in a dramatic and unforgettable way.
We close the evening with dinner and drinks at the hotel restaurant, a relaxed way to end a very full day in Delhi.
