Delhi
“Charming, capricious, imperial” (as John Foster Fraser wrote), Delhi, India’s historic capital is one of the world’s longest continuously inhabited cities, a juxtaposition of old and new amidst a panorama of seven cities spanning over a millennium. From the crowded cauldron of Old Delhi’s bazaars set around the giant Jama Masjid Mosque to the imperial grandeur of British Delhi radiating from its landmark buildings, the capital is a compelling medley of chaos and good order.
Accommodation : Delhi for 2 nights

Drive past the majestic Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site from the 19th century and then hop on a cycle rickshaw for a ride through the bustling narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk. As you explore this historic square via rickshaw, you’ll encounter a 200-year-old perfume shop once patronized by royal queens. Here, you’ll craft your own scent while learning about the queen who birthed a fragrance now beloved across the nation.
