Day 1: Arrival in Delhi

Delhi is the capital of India which is full of whirlwinds of culture and colorful traditions that will easily sweep you up. You will land at the international airport of Delhi where your guide will meet and greet you at the exit door. While driving to your hotel, you will pass by the most contagious roads of India - the Delhi roads. Local people and the smell of spices will make you go crazy as no country will give you those moments that Delhi does. Though the travel would be a noisy one but the quiet comfort of your hotel room will give you a feeling as if you are miles away from the crowd. Relax in your room and enjoy the local Delhi snacks to freshen up your mind and soul. If you have time, self-explore the streets and the local markets and return back to the hotel in the evening.

Being the capital of India, Delhi has a lot of historic monuments to showcase its travelers. Start with the classic Qutab Minar and get marvel by the incredible marble and sandstone work done on this monument. It is 237 feet tall and contains 379 steps. The encompassing park is filled with Mughal ruins adding to the historic, yet tranquil ambiance.
