Experience Delhi :
Start your tour with Delhi and be ready to be exposed to numerous new facets of
heritage and culture of India. Even if you've been here before, you are going to
be surprised by the new pages added in the newest edition of Delhi. The vacation
in the city has always extended beyond the usual monuments and museums. Delhi is
a treasure trove of the new age tourism attractions as well which may have a little
less history attached to them though they make up for it by attaching themselves
with the contemporary India. It is a metropolitan city with a distinct
international flavour which is easily evident in the crowd thronging
the tourism attractions of the city. Delhi is like a very interesting book in which
each chapter is more gripping than the other. You may never decide which chapter
was better, but we don't think it's so necessary to make the decision.

India Gate : About 90000 soldiers from India were killed in World War I,
and the India Gate was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens
as a tribute to these unsung heroes of India. This 42 meters high building was built
from sandstone and its construction was completed in about 10 years' time.

Rashtrapati Bhawan : Also designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens,
it is the official residence of the President of India. It is a grand structure
and the pillars and the portico are seen to be believed though you'd need a special
permission to visit the place.

Red Fort : The Red Fort has been witness to many historic events that took
place before and after India was born as a nation. It was at the Red Fort that the
Mughal ruler Bahadur Shah Zafar was deposed by the British and again it was at the
Red Fort that the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru announced that
India was free from colonial rule.
