As you arrive in the vibrant capital of India, a Cox & Kings representative will greet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel in a comfortable private vehicle. Check in to your thoughtfully appointed room and prepare for an immersive introduction to the city.
Today’s exploration begins with the historic lanes of Old Delhi. Visit Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi’s serene memorial on the banks of the Yamuna. Step into history at the Red Fort (closed on Mondays), a towering 17th-century Mughal masterpiece, and admire the grandeur of Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque, capable of accommodating over 20,000 worshippers. Continue to New Delhi to marvel at Humayun’s Tomb, the precursor to the Taj Mahal, and the soaring Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pass by the grand Rashtrapati Bhawan and pause at India Gate, an eternal tribute to India’s fallen soldiers.
Return to your hotel for a restful evening.
