Recommendations

Delhi has a plethora of experiences to offer, and two days are not enough to cover it all. If you have extra time, visit the Akshardham Temple, a magnificent Hindu temple that showcases India's ancient architecture, art, and culture. Take a side trip to Agra and visit the iconic Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. If you're up for some adventure, try street food at Paranthe Wali Gali, a narrow street in Old Delhi, known for its crispy parathas. Don't forget to bargain at the street markets, and always carry a bottle of water to stay hydrated in the summer heat.
