A 2-Day City Experience Tour of Delhi in June 2023

  1. Day 1: Qutub Minar
    30 minutes (10.3 km) from Indira Gandhi International Airport

    Start your day at the tallest brick minaret in the world, the Qutub Minar. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this tower stands at 73 meters and has intricate carvings and inscriptions. In the morning, the site is relatively quiet and perfect for a leisurely stroll around the complex. Learn about the significance of the site and take in the stunning views from the top of the tower. In the afternoon, visit the nearby Mehrauli Archaeological Park, a vast area dotted with historical monuments and ruins. Finally, in the evening, end your day with a visit to the famous Shri Kalkaji Mandir, a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Kali.

  2. Day 2: Red Fort
    20 minutes (9.3 km) from Qutub Minar

    Begin your day at the Red Fort, a magnificent structure that was once the residence of the Mughal emperors. Explore the different sections of the fort, including the Diwan-i-Khas, Diwan-i-Am, and the beautiful gardens. In the afternoon, visit the India Gate, a war memorial that honors the Indian soldiers who died in World War I. You can take a stroll along the beautiful Rajpath, a ceremonial boulevard that connects India Gate to the Presidential Palace. Finally, end your day with a visit to the bustling Chandni Chowk market, where you can shop for souvenirs and try delicious street food.

Recommendations

Don't miss the chance to explore the historical Humayun's Tomb or the modern Lotus Temple. You can also take a day trip to the nearby Taj Mahal in Agra or the Pink City of Jaipur.
