    Delhi is a city of contrasts, where the old and the new coexist in harmony. The city is home to many historical monuments and cultural landmarks, that reflect the rich and diverse heritage of India. Among these, there is one place that stands out for its spiritual significance and architectural beauty: the Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.Gurudwara Bangla Sahib is the most prominent Sikh house of worship in Delhi. It was first built as a small shrine in 1783 to honour the eighth Sikh Guru, Guru Har Krishan. The gurdwara stands on the site where Guru Hari Krishan, the eighth of 10 Sikh gurus who lived between 1469 and 1708, performed a small miracle.

    The structure is huge and magnificent, but the crowd is not maintained properly. Also we didn't get the chance to go nearby as there were barricades everywhere .

    Had an amazing experience visiting this iconic fort. I also attended the light and sound show which was one of a kind experience overall. There are 5 museums inside too which are included in the ticket. Large well maintained area with a lot of historical significance. No guide needed. Information boards and museums have everything written there.I was pleasantly surprised with this place. As usual in India , price for international visitors was like 10 times more (i think around 50 for Indians and 550 for foreigners). I often hear comparisons between this place and agra fort, but i felt they had different charms and both worth visiting.

    Raj Ghat is a memorial complex in Delhi, India. The first memorial was dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi where a black marble platform was raised at the place of cremation.

    A mini tibet in Delhi. This place is worth visiting. The Tibetan and north-east people are very friendly towards the tourists who visit there.
    You can have rooms at affordable prices but it's not save for women at night time. You will find beautiful and excellent cafe where you can get refreshing drinks.

    Feels like hiking in greenery, you will see a rose garden too. Wearing comfortable shoes is advisable. You can enjoy delicious foof in its cafe inside. Park have a free entry but have a ticket fee for entry in cafe and tomb area.

    Wonderfully evocative place. Less to see than at other forts but the library and the mosque are striking and the old walls too. You can feel the 500 years of history. Take a walk around the lake too (formerly part of the moat) for great views of the fort walls and bird life. Easily covered in under two hours.

    It has a small museum with space suit and sarellite model. History of space explorqtuon8 to tickle young minds. 3D show is reasonably good experience.

    TIPS
    book tickets online.
    Reach half an hour beforehand and not much in advance since there is not much to do apart from show.

    PM sangrahalaya museum is just besides planetarium. Plan your day such that you can do both on same day if possible.

    I booked a 21 day tour through India with Castle and King. Cities visited included, New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Ranthambore, Sariska, Varanasi and Goa. Let me tell you, I was treated like a king the entire time.

    My first contact was with the business owner Arvind, who helped me design a custom itinerary. This was all done via email and we had lengthy conversations about route, sights and the level of immersion I wanted in each place.

    It’s worth saying I had done a lot of research before reaching out to Arvind, however i have the upmost confidence he could design it all for you as well if you wanted. I chose to pay by credit card, however Arvind also offers wire transfer if you want to avoid the minimal surcharge fee.

    Upon arrival in India and subsequent cities, we were greeted by a company representative who spoke excellent English who made sure we were checked in to our hotels all ok as well as introducing us to our local guide, also excellent English speakers, who would take me and my fiancé around each place.

    Special mention needs to go to our private driver Kundan (English speaking). There are not enough words to say how great he is. He went out of his way to ensure that we had the most memorable experience at every stop. Kundan kept the car (4x4) impeccably clean (both inside and out), drove very carefully, pointed out key sights to see along some longer car rides, kept snacks and drinks well stocked in the car, as well as taking our luggage while we flew on a couple of legs where the car journey would have exceeded 6+ hrs. He is one of the most loyal and kind people I’ve ever met. Ever.

    This was such a memorable experience and one of the best vacations. India can be daunting if not prepared but with Castle and King you’re in perfect hands. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

    Baolis or step-wells were once common features across the more arid parts of India, including Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The basic feature of a baoli is that it consists of a series of steps leading down to the water level: as the water level recedes over time due to use or evaporation, you must climb down more steps to get to the water. Delhi has several step-wells, such as the ones at Nizamuddin and at Purana Qila; Agrasen ki Baoli, Gandhak ki Baoli (also in Mehrauli, and approachable through the Mehrauli Archaeological Park), and this one, named for stonemasons or raj.

    Besides the main body of the baoli (which is surrounded on either side by shallow cells or rooms that could be used for rest), there is a pillared pavilion up above.

    When we visited, the main gate was locked and we were not allowed to go in. The water in the baoli was almost up to the level of the topmost step, and looked very green and stagnant.

    It's an unfinished minar but a much wider scale and circumference than qutub minar. Only one floor was completed. One can only guess by looking at it, how big it would have been. It's a massive stone structure.

    Adham Khan, a general of the Mughal Emperor Akbar was the younger son of Maham Anga, Akbar's wet nurse. It lies on the walls of Lal Kot and rising from a terrace enclosed by an octagonal wall provided with low towers at the corners. It consists of a domed octagonal chamber in the Lodhi Dynasty style and Sayyid dynasty early in the 14th century. It has a verandah on each side pierced by three openings. It is known popularly as Bul-bulaiyan for a visitor often loses his way amidst the several passages in the thickness of its walls
