Breakfast at the hotel. This morning you will start the tour of Old Delhi, the magnificent and the historically rich old part of Delhi which you will not believe still exists - narrow lanes, seas of people, and buzzing life of every individual who contributes to his daily life while making the place most memorable for a visitor. You will visit the Juma mosque, drive past the Red Fort for a photo stop, ancient temples, and Gurudwara (Sikh temple), and enjoy a fun ride on a tricycle rickshaw to the oldest mosque of Fatehpuri while witnessing Asia’s biggest and still active spice and dry fruits market. Post your entertaining day in Old Delhi, you can either retire at your hotel or experience an optional Delhi Food walking tour to discover the art of making Indian street food.
