Delhi, they say, is the city of the big-hearted. And this, in a powerful and natural way, implies to the people, the streets, and the structures that lay in Old Delhi. It is a place that cannot be omitted from the touring map of any traveller; the charm of the city is vibrant, fervorous and unflinching. It's a picture that stays etched in the mind of those who had set foot here.

This journey of four-and-a-half hours is a trail to the days of yore. The experience is crafted to make you enjoy the joyous way of Indian life and delve deep into the ethos of the city. From the pickup point outside Jama Masjid police station, hop on to the rickshaws and get set for an unforgettable experience.

Your multilingual tour guide would tell you stories of history and present while on the way; stories that cannot be found in web pages, but heard only from a local.

The Jama Masjid in Delhi needs no introduction. One of the largest mosques in the country, it was built by emperor Shah Jahan and speaks of the grandeur of Mughal architecture. Move on to the Khari Baoli, the largest wholesale spice market of Asia - sink into the aromas that envelop you, and buy for yourself, as much as you want. The colours and bustle of Chandni Chowk would fascinate any traveller. Fancy some trinkets? Well, it a thing that you must pick up while on a holiday. So take a tour of the Dariba Kalan market, where everything glitters!

Broaden your spiritual perspectives with a visit to Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib and a 200-year-old Jain mandir. Exclusive to this trip, you also have a chance to witness a traditional pigeon flying show (Kabootarbazi), a sport unique to Old Delhi alone. And then, wind up your trail in style; with a lavish lunch at a 200-year-old heritage palace.

Enjoy the city in all its colours, experience the beat of the country… as Ghalib epitomised in his verses “I asked my soul, what is Delhi? It replied saying, the world is the body, Delhi its soul."
