The Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara is said to belong to the era of the founder of the Belief, the first religious leader of the Sikhs, Guru Nanak. He is believed to have come here with a disciple, and to cook their food for a public kitchen called ‘Langar’, he asked the disciple to remove a stone. From under the stone came a hot spring, which still resides in Manikaran Sahib and is considered very sacred. People from all over come to cook the offerings to their God in these springs before consuming, and even take a dip in these waters to wash off their sins. The piety of this place is of the utmost level for the believers of Sikhs.

Another legend relates the place with the Hindu Gods, Vishnu, and Parvati. Parvati lost a gem or ‘Mani’ in the torrential waters below, and the story that followed gave this place its name, Manikaran. Also, it is believed that Lord Shiva’s legendary anger is what gave birth to the hot springs in the area. With many temples dotting the place all over, Manikaran is a must visit, especially because it falls on the way to Kullu and Manali.

Speaking of these regions in the valley, Kullu and Manali can be called as the cultural capital of the state. With such close proximity to Kasol, the name of the small town is many a time collectively called along with the other two. Their presence nearby has boosted tourism in the area even more.

Delhi Top Attractions

Rising gracefully from lush gardens and surrounded by a symmetrical charbagh (four-part garden), Humayun's Tomb exudes an air of tranquility and grandeur. The use of red sandstone and white marble in its construction adds a captivating contrast to the monument's façade, making it a visual delight for visitors and photographers alike.Interestingly, Humayun's Tomb served as an architectural inspiration for the world-famous Taj Mahal, which was built later by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife. The intricate geometric patterns, arched entrances, and delicate lattice work seen in Humayun's Tomb can be traced in the design of the Taj Mahal.Today, the tomb complex houses the graves of several other members of the Mughal dynasty, making it a cherished historical site and a symbol of India's rich cultural heritage. Visitors can explore the beautifully landscaped gardens, marvel at the detailed calligraphy adorning the walls, and immerse themselves in the captivating history that surrounds this majestic monument.

Jantar Mantar is an astronomical observatory situated in the heart of the capital city of India – Delhi. This is a phenomenal marvel of architectural brilliance whose shape represents a big sundial. Since its construction, this observatory has seemingly contributed to the study of both time and space. Maharaja Jai Singh laid the foundation stone for constructing this magnificent structure in the year 1724. Likewise, today, we have four more observatories situated in the cities of Varanasi, Jaipur, Mathura, and Ujjain. The primary aim underlying the construction of this massive observatory was the preparation of astronomical charts. These were then used to track the local time zones by keeping an eye on the movement and transitions of the sun, the moon and the different planets that constitute our solar system. It thus follows that a highly precious observatory of the ancient past never fails to surprise the technology-influenced astronomers and researchers. The Delhi’s Jantar Mantar has a got a whopping height of around 723 feet and is comprised of different astronomical instruments totalling to a count of 13 units. Amongst these, the most precious and widely acknowledged ones are – Samrat Yantra, Misra Yantra, Ram Yantra, and Jai Prakash Yantra. The sundial, which forms the chief attraction here, is highly influenced by the ancient Egyptian Ptolemaic Structure. It strictly adheres to the sequential celestial orders of the local arrangement of the equatorial, ecliptic, and the horizontal-zenith planes. Thus, Delhi’s Jantar Mantar brings close the three different dimensions of belief, universe, and society. It conjoins the aspects of astronomical skills with cosmological concepts arising out of the court of a scholarly prince.

The colossal Red Fort in Delhi was the home of the formidable Mughal emperors for around 200 years until the British took over it in 1857. The fort is not just a symbol of the popular grandeur of the Mughal era, but it has withstood the trials of turbulent times, especially during India’s most historical events that shaped the foundation of the country. This is one of the most famous tourist attractions of the national capital. The UNESCO declared the Red Fort a World Heritage Site in 2007, in recognition of its significance. Red Fort is one of the most celebrated monuments of India and is the symbol of valor and peace.This 17th-century monument is of octagonal shape and it covers around 255 acres of land. The total number of gates here is three. The royals used to enter the fort through the Khizrabad Gate that has been closed for commoners now. The Lahore and Delhi Gates are open to locals and tourists. The fort was planned to house a palace inside its campus. The Red Fort still a historical and architectural wonder.History of Red FortThe construction of the Red Fort started in 1638 with the Emperor Shah Jahan deciding to leave Agra to create a new Mughal capital, Shahjahanabad, which is presently known as the Old Delhi. With architect Lahori’s work at Agra Fort, Shah Jahan was so impressed that he asked him to work on this fort as well.However, despite having elaborate and grand illustrations in the early years, the shine and glory of the Red Fort eventually faded when Shah Jahan fell ill and had to go back to Agra to recuperate. Since 1658, Shah Jahan’s son Aurangzeb, who was known to be power hungry, took the charge of the fort and kept his father imprisoned at Agra Fort for over 8 years until he died.The opulence of the Red Fort and the fortunes of the royal family started diminishing with Aurangzeb ruling the last phase of his reign which was bristled with uncertainty, unfaithfulness and treachery. Persian ruler Nadir Shah attacked the fort in 1739 and looted several valuables, including the Peacock Throne and the Kohinoor diamond. In 1752, the fort belonged to the Maratha kings who defeated the Mughals in a battle.The Marathas had to melt down the silver ceiling of the Diwan-e-Khaas hall in order to raise funds to save the capital from the attack of the Afghan invaders under the leadership of Ahamd Shah Durrani. In 1857, the Britishers made the Red Fort their army base and looted further valuables. In 1947, after gaining independence, the Red Fort was chosen as the main site for public celebration.

Best Destinations For Memorable Two-Day Trips From Delhi

Weekend getaways are a fantastic opportunity to escape the rat race and revitalize your body and soul. When it comes to weekend getaway locations, Delhi has a ton of choices as well as a wide range. Near Delhi, travellers can experience hill stations, ancient cities, wildlife reserves, natural resorts, and more. 

However, if you are in Delhi, you can travel for two days to two incredible places for an unforgettable experience. Agra and Mussoorie are both easily accessible from Delhi, and both have much to offer for a fantastic vacation. The following travel advice will help you organize your two-day  Delhi weekend getaways   to the best of your ability: 

Distance – 230 kilometres 

How To Reach 

The Yamuna Express Highway is the best route from Delhi to Agra for a super-smooth trip that takes less than 4 hours. In addition, numerous trains run between Delhi and the Taj city. 

What To Do On A Two-Day Trip To Agra

Every traveller’s ideal destination is the city of the Taj, which they all hope to see one day. And for Delhiites it is only 4 hours away and a fantastic two-day vacation location. 

When you see the Taj Mahal, you are amazed by its extravagant splendour and unfathomable beauty. But, to feel it, you must go. 

The beautiful carvings on the ivory marble, with the Yamuna River as the ideal backdrop. To watch the The wonder of the world, Taj Mahal, dawn is the finest time. However, Agra offers so much more that it must be noticed. The Agra Fort, a red sandstone fort covering 94 acres, is an architectural marvel and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Your two-day journey to Agra can also include a stop in the ancient city of Fatehpur Sikri, which echoes tales of bygone eras. 

Additionally, Agra won’t let you down if you enjoy eating. There are some treats that you must take notice of. Bedai aaloo, a typical morning dish at Sri Dauji Mishthan Bhandar (stuffed crisp fried bread accompanied with spicy potato sauce), is a local favourite. Also, remember to get your fair share of gol-gappas and aloo tikki in Sadar Bazaar.

Where To Stay In Agra

The Jaypee Palace Hotel perfectly combines old-world elegance and modern comfort. The city’s busy commercial and historical districts are only a few steps away. The Yamuna Expressway and the Delhi Train take two hours to reach the hotel. This opulent masterpiece is exceptional and breath taking in terms of ambience, entertainment, lodging, cuisine, spa, and anything else you can think of. 

Distance- 272 kilometres

How to reach

Despite its height, Mussoorie is relatively simple to reach by road, rail or airways. 

What to do on a two-day trip to Mussoorie

To escape the sweltering Delhi heat, travellers frequently travel to a lovely hill station 35 miles from Dehradun. Enjoy the restaurants as you stroll down Mall Road. It is essential to have a broad idea of everything you can do and then select the best viable possibilities to ensure you get all the experiences over the two days you are there. 

Take a trip to Mall Road once you are in Mussoorie and have checked into your accommodation. The Mall is the centre of all things mountainous and is regarded as Mussoorie’s spirit. A stroll down mall road is the finest way to get to know Mussoorie. It has stores, eateries, local cuisine, historic buildings, arcades with video games from the 1990s, and a skating rink. 

While there, you should explore Gun Hill Point, which is reachable both on foot and by cable car. The Tibetan Buddhist Temple and Happy Valley are also accessible. Happy Valley, which begins on the west side of Library Point, leads to Cloud’s end. The well-known Tibetan Buddhist temple is in Happy Valley, a Tibetan community. 

The best course of action for Fay 2 is to leave for Lal Tibba very early. Beyond the cantonment town of Landour, LalTibba is Mussoorie’s highest point and one of the area’s most attractive locations. 

Where to stay in Mussoorie

The best luxury resort in Mussoorie is Jaypee Residency Manor , perched on a hilltop amidst the tranquil Queen of Hills. The best place to stay for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation is this 5-star hotel in Mussoorie Mall. At this opulent luxury hotel in Mussoorie, you can select from a wide variety of complimentary and fee-based activities to fill your two days’ trip with joy, pleasant memories, and vitality.

Even though travelling is a great option to move away from routine life, if you are seeking luxury without travelling for hours, then you have a choice of a luxurious and comfortable stay in top-class  luxury hotels in Delhi . 

All types of budgets can be accommodated by the suites and amenities offered by Jaypee Luxury hotels in New Delhi. The Jaypee Siddharth Hotel combines classy decor with contemporary conveniences. It provides first-rate services and abundant amenities to its clients. Whereas, The Jaypee Vasant Continental is noted for its convenient location in the heart of New Delhi’s Diplomatic Enclave and the best hospitality services. Moreover, it is among the best  hotels near Delhi airport terminal 2 .

The 10 Best Day Trips From Delhi, India

Delhi is an ideal base for a number of short getaways in the northern part of India. From viewing the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra to birdwatching at Sultanpur National Park and exploring spirituality at Vrindavan, Culture Trip has shortlisted the top day-trip options for you.

North India has a distinct identity. From centuries of fighting invasions from the east, the resilient region is home to a host of different cultures, encapsulated in Delhi’s varied art, architecture and cuisine. While there is a whole lot to see, do and experience in the city itself, a day away from the capital is a welcome break – especially to these 10 spots.

Historical Landmark

2. Neemrana Fort-Palace

Shop, Historical Landmark

For travellers looking for a leisurely getaway from the chaos of the city, heading to the picturesque Neemrana Fort-Palace for a lazy lunch is recommended. Built on the Aravalli hills, it looks over the village below from a spectacular vantage point. After lunch, a walk through the village will lead you to unique local stores and small temples, and you can end the day watching a performance by traditional Rajasthani folk dancers. If you opt to stay for the night, the hotel and fort comprise several beautiful structures – you can spend another day exploring – spread over 10 hectares (25 acres).

4. Vrindavan

Vrindavan is the place where Lord Krishna is believed to have spent his childhood days, and numerous temples dedicated to Krishna and his consort Radha dot the town. When Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a spiritual leader, reached Vrindavan in the early 16th century, there was nothing but forests all around, and the legend goes that the divine aura he felt here was unlike any other he’d ever experienced before. As if guided by some celestial power, Sri Chaitanya began identifying various spots associated with Krishna and instructed his disciples to construct temples at each of these places. Spend your day exploring them all – there are thought to be more than 1,000 – and in the evening, watch the beautiful aarti (ritual of worship with light) ceremony at Kesi Ghat.

5. Pratapgarh Farms

Natural Feature

If you’re tired of the busy city life and want to experience the rustic countryside for a change, head to Pratapgarh Farms. The serene hamlet is surrounded by verdant fields – a welcome change from the concrete jungle of Delhi – plus there are plenty of activities once you get here. You can take camel and tractor rides, enjoy performances such as the Dholki Dance, milk goats and tend to cows, plough fields and even play local games, including gilli danda , pithoo and kanche goli , which are popular in Indian villages. The best part of being at Pratapgarh Farms is that you get to savour home-cooked meals prepared by the residents. Cuisines from the states of Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan are usually cooked here and are best finished by chewing on a sweet stick of sugar cane, freshly plucked from the farm.

6. Kuchesar

Located in the fertile Ganges Basin, Kuchesar is a village and popular tourist spot 80 kilometres (50 miles) from Delhi. The Jat community, who came from the state of Haryana, once ruled the area and built a mud fort here during the 18th century. In 1998, this fort became a heritage hotel, where you can stay the night and make the most of a day trip. The Mud Fort Kuchesar offers great day packages for families that include tea, snacks, lunch and fun in-house activities and games, though there are plenty of other activities to choose from, including pottery making, kite flying or a visit to a nearby mango orchard.

The state of Rajasthan is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India, with Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer being the region’s most visited cities. However, under-the-radar Alwar is a worthwhile alternative and just two hours from Delhi by train. Make time to explore Bhangarh Fort – it’s reportedly one of the most haunted buildings in the country. Stop at other centuries-old monuments like the elaborate Moosi Maharani ki Chhatri cenotaph, before heading to Jaisamand Lake – where marble cenotaphs and a regal palace dot the shoreline – for a peaceful stroll.

8. Kurukshetra

Kurukshetra is one of the most important historical cities in India. According to the Mahābhārata , an ancient Indian epic poem, the great Kurukshetra War was fought here. It was also here where a conversation took place between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, a Pandava warrior, which would eventually become the Bhagavad Gita , a sacred Hindu text. As Kurukshetra is a holy city, there are plenty of temples and pilgrimage sites to visit, as well as Sheikh Chilli’s Tomb, a Mughal-era mausoleum dedicated to the Sufi saint. The drive from Delhi to Kurukshetra takes about two hours and 45 minutes.

9. Sultanpur National Park

10. Damdama Lake

Damdama Lake is one of the biggest lakes in the state of Haryana and lies about 45 kilometres (28 miles) from Delhi. Framed by the mighty Aravalli Range, the lake makes for the perfect scenic day trip. There are numerous activities to enjoy, such as rock climbing, air rifle shooting, parasailing, kayaking, cycling and angling, while birdwatchers will be kept busy spotting the nearly 200 species of birds found here. An added attraction is the Sohna Sulphur Hot Spring nearby, where the water is considered sacred and thought to have several medicinal benefits.

Be sure to also check out my New Delhi survival guide for your first time in the city. I talk all about what to expect, how to get around, which area to stay in and where to eat + scams to be aware of!

🌟 Remember to always get insurance before you travel to India or anywhere else. SafetyWing is an affordable subscription travel insurance that you can purchase even after departure. Read my complete SafetyWing review here.

If it’s your first time in New Delhi and you only have 2 days, I highly recommend you join a guided tour to get to know the city. I’m so happy we decided to book this popular private Old and New Delhi tour for our first day.

Get ready for an incredible day of historic architectural gems, focused around the southern part of New Delhi.

1. Humayun’s Tomb Complex

Start your day at the tomb of Mughal Emperor Humayun, a mesmerizing UNESCO world heritage site. As the first garden tomb in India and the first large-scale building to use red sandstone, it represents a leap in Mughal architecture.

Humayun’s tomb garden also includes smaller monuments like the beautiful tomb of Isa Khan Niyazi, an Afghan noble. So take time to enjoy and go for a stroll through the paradise garden, designed according to Persian tradition.

We walked from our hotel in southeast New Delhi, around 7:00 am, and were the first ones there. Humayun’s Tomb was one of the highlights for me in India, it was so nice to just wander around and enjoy the beautiful surroundings almost all by ourselves. 

Entrance fee: Indian nationals Rs. 30 – Foreigners Rs. 500

Opening hours: 6 am to 6 pm daily

2.  Tomb of Safdarjung

The Safdarjung Tomb, made of marble and sandstone, is the last magnificent tomb garden of the Mughal era. The tomb was constructed in 1754 for Mirza Muqim Abul Mansur Khan, better known as Safdarjung. It is conveniently located close to both Lodhi Gardens and Humayun’s tomb.

Safdarjung Tomb is not on the itinerary of most people doing Delhi in less than 3 days, so it’s usually very peaceful and you won’t have to navigate around large crowds of people to get that perfect shot.

Entrance fee: Indian nationals Rs. 15 – Foreigners Rs. 200

Opening hours: 7 am to 7 pm

🌟 My top pick >> Be sure to check out this highly-rated photography tour that includes both The Safdarjung Tomb and Lodi Gardens!

3. Lodhi Garden

What do you least expect to find in a busy, overpopulated metropolis like Delhi? An oasis. But it does exist. Your next stop is Lodhi Gardens, one of the incredible, green spaces of Delhi, sprawling across 90 acres of land. Here, you get to discover the stunning North Indian Islamic architecture and history.

You can easily walk here from the Tomb of Safdarjung. I recommend picking up some street food and enjoying a nice picnic in beautiful gardens.

The impressive tombs, beautiful bridges and watchtowers were built in the 15th century by the Lodhi and the Sayyid dynasties before the Mughal Empire took over. The gardens are also a favorite amongst Delhi’s high society – so you might be able to spot a high-profile politician or celebrity.

We went to Lodhi Garden on a Saturday which meant it was very crowded with locals walking their dogs, working out and just spending the day in the park with their families. I can imagine a weekday would be a much better time to visit to fully be able to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

Entrance fee: FREE

Opening hours:  6 am – 7.30 pm daily (it might be open later)

4. Mehrauli Archaeological Park

If you have one last stop in you for the day, jump in a rickshaw and make your way down to Mehrauli Archaeological Park, an incredible area consisting of over 100 historically significant monuments spread over 200 acres in Mehrauli. Close by you’ll also find the Qutub Minar World Heritage Site and the Qutb complex.

If you’re a history buff like me, you’re going to love this place. It is the only area in Delhi known for 1,000 years of continuous occupation and includes the ruins of a fort built in 1060 AD(!!!).

To be honest, you could probably spend an entire day down here. So if you have more time in the city, consider saving this for the next day.

Opening hours:  5 am – 6.30 pm daily.

5. Flavors and Food Stories of New Delhi

Instead of just another dinner in a restaurant, book this exciting Flavors and Food stories tour . Indulge in Delhi’s signature butter chicken curry or a shahi paneer, taste Chaat from Delhi’s most famous chaat stall and visit and volunteer at Gurudwara temple to experience the “art of gratitude” ++. I’m getting hungry from just typing this. Yum!

🌟 If you would rather skip one of the architectural heritage sites, I highly recommend that you participate in an educational and ethical walking tour through the Sanjay Colony slum area instead. Here you will discover a rich sense of community and entrepreneurship and gain new insights into the lives of locals. And the best part is that all proceeds are re-invested into the development of community projects such as education and healthcare for the residents.

Day two of this New Delhi itinerary continues with central and north Delhi.

6. Shopping & Markets

Who needs standard supermarkets, air-conditioned shopping malls or fancy boutiques when you can have the Delhi markets? Start your day and dive right into the action by exploring the amazing, large-scale markets in Delhi, like Chandni Chowk, Dilli Haat, Khari Baoli or Chor Bazaar. They are an absolute paradise for shoppers, buzzing with customers as early as 6 am.

You can buy pretty much everything you can imagine: Tons of fresh vegetables and fruit, wonderful home decorations and fabrics, handicrafts, vintage goods, tea, spices, jewelry, clothes and much more. Just make sure to bring patience, bargaining skills and endurance.

You will return with bags of wonderful goods, a belly full of delicious Indian food and a lot of new friends. Spending one day here will save you months of lessons in Indian culture and etiquette, language, history, delicacies, art and fashion.

Dilli Haat is a paid-entrance open-air market located in South Delhi, run by Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation. They also operate two other locations but I do think the original one opposite INA Metro Station is the best.

What is so great about Dilli Haat is that it gives the feel of a traditional weekly village market (called a haat) but it is open every day. We opted to do most of our shopping here so we could escape the crowds for a little while.

Get there just as they open at 10.30 am for the best prices and a more comfortable temperature. I bought several straw bags here for only $7 apiece so I couldn’t be happier.

Entrance fee:  Indian nationals Rs. 30 for adults, Rs.10 for children and foreigners Rs. 100.

Opening hours: 10 (or 10.30) am to 10 pm daily

🌟 My top pick >> Private Custom Shopping Tour of Delhi’s Bustling Markets

7. Swaminarayan  Akshardham Temple

The Akshardham Hindu Temple is another must-see in Delhi. It is a stunning spiritual-cultural site regarded by Swaminarayan Hindus as a temporal home of God on earth. ‘Akshardham’ means the abode of almighty Lord Swaminarayan, a yogi and ascetic, who revived central Hindu practices.

His life and work are portrayed in the various exhibition halls. The Akshardham temple reveals thousands of years of fascinating Hindu spirituality, Indian culture and architecture.

This is one of the most intricately beautiful buildings in India and is definitely worth a visit. But remember that you’re not allowed to bring a camera, phones, umbrellas, toys, food or drinks inside the complex.

Entrance fee: Entry to the complex is free but there are different exhibitions and shows that require a ticket

Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday – First Entry: 9.30 am – Last Entry: 6.30 pm

8. Red Fort

The Red Fort, also known as the Lal Qila, was constructed by one of the most famous Mughal emperors, Shah Jahan. He also commissioned  Taj Mahal,  Agra Fort and several other majestic buildings around northern India. Not surprisingly, the period of his reign is considered to be the golden era of Mughal architecture.

Built on the banks of Yamuna River, it took over 8 years to finish the construction of the magnificent fort. When Shah Jahan decided to shift his capital from Agra to Delhi, the Red Fort took over as the main royal residence of the Mughal emperors. And it stayed that way for over 200 years.

Today the fort has become an icon of the city and is a must on any Delhi itinerary. With its towering red sandstone walls measuring 33 meters high and almost 2.5 kilometers long, you can’t really miss this place. Inside you’ll find a large complex of entertainment halls, palaces, indoor canals, a stunning white marble mosque and perfectly manicured gardens.

Entrance fee:  Indian nationals Rs. 35 – Foreigners Rs. 500. You can book your tickets in advance so you don’t have to wait in line. You also have the option to add a tour guide and hotel transfers.

Opening Hours:  7 am to 5.30 pm daily

🌟 Learn about the Mughals and their influence on the city’s culture and architecture on this early morning bicycle tour . Travel in a small group with experienced guides to absorb Delhi’s culture before ending the experience with a hearty local breakfast. The perfect way to start the day before you explore the Red Fort!

9. Agrasen ki Baoli

Just a short walk away from Connaught Place, down a peaceful residential street, you’ll find Agrasen ki Baoli, a centuries-old, subterranean stepwell hidden behind a seemingly uninteresting stone wall.

Stepwells, otherwise known as “baoli” or “bawli”, depending on the region, were built centuries ago in the arid zones of Rajasthan to provide water all year around. These days the wells are no longer used for storing water, instead, the aesthetically pleasing geometric features attract local and international visitors alike.

We visited Agrasen ki Baoli in the middle of the day and to our surprise, we were the only tourists there. The guard told us that “modeling” was not allowed but photos were, so we had to be a bit sneaky to get a couple of good shots here.

Entrance fee: Free

Opening hours: 9 am to 5.30 pm

10. Old Delhi Spice Market (Khari Baoli)

Finish your two days in Delhi with a still down Khari Baoli Road, home to Asia’s largest wholesale spice market. The market has been in operation since the 17th century and is today a vibrant and fun attraction for both locals and tourists.

Although I’m not usually a fan of guided tours I would suggest touring the market with a good guide so he can take you up to one of the rooftops for an incredible view of the bustling streets below. If you go by yourself there’s a good chance you’ll struggle to find the entrance as it is quite hard to spot.

Just like most parts of Delhi, the Old Spice Market is crazy and chaotic. So if you have the opportunity to visit early in the morning you’ll see a totally different side to the area and maybe even witness a beautiful sunrise.

Opening hours : 10 am to 9 pm Monday – Saturday. The roof is open 24/7 but be aware of the people sleeping up there.

🌟 Don’t miss out! Experience the streets and bazaars of Old Delhi and learn about traditional Indian life during this 3-Hour Old Delhi Heritage Walking Tour . Visit the Jama Masjid mosque, Red Fort and the Chandni Chowk market. Taste some of the famous local snacks and enjoy a short ride by rickshaw to the spice market.

New Delhi guided tours

As I mentioned above, I highly recommend you join a guided tour if you only have 2 days in New Delhi . For someone who doesn’t really love organized tours, I have to admit that it is often a good idea in a place like India. Especially for the first day, until you get used to the beautiful mayhem that is New Delhi.

I actually loved all the guided tours we attended during this trip. Especially the photography walking tour and the private Old and New Delhi tour . It really is the best way to get the lay of the land and hopefully snag a few tips from locals.

There’s no secret that New Delhi can be an overwhelming place to visit. It’s basically an assault on all your senses. But I don’t want that to keep you from visiting, because New Delhi is unlike any place other place in the world.

Just prepare yourself to be overwhelmed before you go, and keep your wits about you just like you would in any other big city. And you will be totally fine!

Here are some quick safety tips for New Delhi:

• Be aware of your surroundings:  New Delhi is a crowded and chaotic city, so it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings at all times. Keep an eye out for any suspicious activity or people who may be following you. I experienced a man following me for several hours, so I just sat down at a restaurant in a crowded place with my bag on my lap and stared at him. After a few minutes, he finally went away.
• Use reliable transportation:  When traveling around the city, it’s best to use reliable transportation such as taxis, rickshaws and the metro. Always ask the driver for the price before you get in, and bargain if you feel it’s too much. The metro in Delhi is also surprisingly efficient and easy to use. If you’re only in Delhi for a few days, I highly recommend you join a guided tour or hire a private driver to get the most out of your time.
• Avoid displaying valuables:  To avoid becoming a target for theft, avoid displaying expensive jewelry or electronics. I brought my camera everywhere but kept it in my bag or around my neck at all times.
• Dress appropriately:  New Delhi is a conservative city, so it’s important to dress appropriately. Avoid wearing revealing clothing or anything that may be considered disrespectful to the local culture.
• Be cautious with food and drink:  Have you heard about Delhi belly? Well, you will probably experience it in New Delhi. Be cautious when trying new foods or drinks, as some may not agree with your stomach. To be safe, stick to bottled water (or even better, bring a filtered water bottle ) and avoid ice or food from street vendors. I ate everything I could get my hands on and definitely experiences Delhi belly but never got sick.
• Stay in well-lit areas:  When walking around at night, stay in well-lit areas and avoid walking alone if possible. Stick to busy streets with plenty of foot traffic.

FAQs: 2 days in New Delhi

Yes, New Delhi is definitely worth visiting for its rich history, vibrant culture, and delicious food. It is the capital city of India and has plenty to offer for tourists. If you’re a history buff like me you’re going to love it!

You can cover most of the major attractions in New Delhi in two days, but you may not have enough time to fully experience the city. I would say that the ideal time in Delhi for tourists is 3 or 4 days. After that, you’re probably tired of all the craziness and ready to move on.

The best time to visit New Delhi is from October to March when the weather is pleasant and comfortable. The temperature during these months ranges from 10°C to 25°C, making it the perfect time to explore the city. I visited New Delhi in August, it was HOT and humid, but totally doable.

New Delhi can be expensive, but it depends on your budget and the type of activities you plan to do. Accommodation, food, and transportation are generally affordable, but entrance fees to some of the major attractions can be expensive.

No, it is not recommended to drink tap water in Delhi. It is advisable to drink bottled water or use a water purifier to avoid any health issues.

Delhi is not a very walkable city due to its vast size and heavy traffic. However, some areas like Connaught Place and Old Delhi are pedestrian-friendly and great for exploring on foot.

The best way to get around New Delhi during a 2-day trip is by using the metro, rickshaws, or taxis. The metro is the most convenient and affordable way to travel around the city.

If you are limited on time I recommend booking a private tour of the city to get the most out of your time.

It was well organised. Both our tour managers Parmod and Shahnawaz were really good. They took good care of everyone on the tour. The bus driver and helper were also very good. The food provided was also very tasty. The second tour to South India was a customised tour. The hotels and locations chosen were excellent and exceeded our expectations. Parmod was always available to guide us. Our taxi driver was also very good. We would certainly recommend this tour company to our family and friends.

• sanjay d 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles How many trip to India with Joyful holidays. I recently went on a trip to India with Joyful Holidays, and I must say it was an incredible experience! Sonia, the owner of the company, has done a fantastic job of creating a travel company that not only provides employment opportunities for women but also ensures that every detail of the trip is taken care of. Throughout our journey in New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi, Sonia was constantly in touch with us, making sure everything was perfectly coordinated. She even arranged for food during our flights to and from Varanasi. The drivers and tour guides she organized for us were not only friendly and punctual but also treated us like family. They truly made us feel welcome in India. The trip to India with Joyful Holidays included the cities of New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi. These cities offered a diverse and enriching experience, allowing us to explore the vibrant culture, historical landmarks, and spiritual essence of India. Each city had its own tour guide, and they were all amazing. They suggested fantastic restaurants along the way, allowing us to indulge in the delicious culinary delights of India. The hotels Sonia arranged were also excellent, providing us with comfort throughout our trip. I must give a special shoutout to Praveen, our driver, who was not only kind and caring but also became a great friend. He was very attentive throughout our tour and we had great conversation with him getting to know him and a little bit about his family. Along the way, he suggested restaurants for us to eat and gave us a lot of insight into India. He just made our trip experience extremely enjoyable. Even now as we are home, my kids, and I think of Praveen and reminisce about the great times we had touring with him through India. Vivek, our tour guide in New Delhi, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He knew a lot about the monuments in New Delhi and also arranged for a great tuk tuk ride through the streets of Chandi Chowk, a vibrant bustling shopping venue in New Delhi. he provided us with great background information in history on all the places that we visited in New Delhi. Truly great having him as a tour guide. Shiv, our guide in Jaipur, made us feel right at home, and like Vivek, was extremely knowledgeable of all the places that we went to see. Even when a couple of issues arose with traffic and congestion at certain sites, both Praveen and Vivek quickly rearranged the itinerary so that we could maximize our experience . In Agra, we had the pleasure to tour with Raj, and in Varanasi, we had TJ. Both of them were incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of these beautiful cities. Sonia also organized a memorable excursion to an elephant sanctuary, where we got to interact with these magnificent animals and learn about their conservation. We even had the opportunity to enjoy home-cooked meals with locals, experiencing the true hospitality of India. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Sonia and her team at Joyful Holidays for providing us with such an amazing and heartwarming experience. If you're planning a trip to India, I highly recommend booking with them. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Read more Written April 13, 2024
• Carolyn S 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Single Female Traveler’s First Visit to India This was a wonderful experience as a single female traveler from NY. The tour company is female led and the owner Sonia gave special attention to details and coordination. You’re on the road quite a bit with 3-6 hour traveling day to day and 2 days start at 5:30-5:45am. I opted for the 5 star hotel stays. Manage your expectations as a 5 star in India is not equivalent to 5 star in NY or Dubai. It’s more like 4 star but very much still worth it. The Driver Shiva was AMAZING! He was professional, respectful, calm with reckless drivers on the road, communicates in English well and I felt safe with him at all times. Highly recommend Shiva for single female travel! I had 3 tour guides of which 2 receive honorable mention; Vivic in New Delhi was knowledgeable, great sense of humor, engaging and a good photographer. Rajesh Parashar in Jaipur was also knowledgeable with great understanding of history and astronomy. It was a pleasure learning from him. Read more Written April 6, 2024

• travelibn 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Fantastic experience with one glaring exception Joyful Holidays was a lucky find! Believe the glowing reviews you read. Sonia designed a tour to our exact specifications. Our driver, Mr. Ram Kumar, was with us the entire time from airport pick-up in Jaipur to late night drop-off at Indira Gandhi Airport. He is an expert driver and along the way answered many questions for us and told stories of his own experiences. We would return from a site visit to find him always waiting with a smile and a few snacks/cold drinks waiting for us. He went above and beyond for us: taking us to the observation area to see the Taj Mahal at sunset after driving us for a full day, and helping us out at Ranthambore when our safari vehicle didn’t show up—more on that in a bit. The hotels Sonia chose for us were excellent—spotlessly clean and comfortable with attentive staff and good options in the restaurants. I cannot eat spicy food and the kitchens prepared food to my precise requests. We even crashed a wedding at the Courtyard Agra, at the invitation of Mr. Mohit. Never have we met more warm hospitable people. They welcomed two tired Americans wearing jeans to their lovely event. I only hope we didn’t end up in their photos or videos! We had outstanding local guides in Jaipur, Agra and Delhi, each gentleman a specialist in his own region. They couldn’t do enough for us and it was heartwarming to see their passion and eagerness to share with us. Upon our request we stopped at a carpet workshop at our first location (Jaipur) and ended up purchasing a beautiful one which arrived at our home via FedEx a few days after we returned home. That extra time also ended up being very lucky because by the time we got to the Amer Fort the crowds had disappeared, the sun was setting and the lights were coming on. It was staggeringly beautiful. Another late night for our driver, navigating the road down to the city in the dark. There are no words to describe the first sighting of the Taj Mahal at sunrise. No photo will ever do it justice and you have to see it for yourself. There were so many other memorable sights that we packed into a few amazing days. I am reeling as I re-live it. Because we started our tour in Jaipur we did not have a chance to meet Sonia at the beginning. The plan was to meet up in Delhi. She had a family emergency out of town so we didn’t meet her until our last evening before our very early morning flight from Indira Gandhi. She invited us to her home for chai and snacks, introduced us to her family and told us about herself and her journey to her own company. What an inspiring story. I am happy to give Sonia and Joyful Holidays a 5* glowing review because of all the above reasons and because our tour was designed exactly to our specifications, including Ranthambore. I was very excited about it. However I have to inject a negative note. Our visit to Ranthambore was disastrous and a waste of time on what was a very short holiday. I do not recommend it unless you have a lot of time and a high tolerance for frustration. We did not see any tigers at all—but that is not the reason we are so disappointed. We now understand the probability that you will not. We did not know that prior to planning the trip. When we arrived at the Tigress Lodge after a long drive we were rushed through lunch to be ready for an afternoon safari drive. We knew (and were looking forward to) we would be sharing a vehicle with other guests. However there was no vehicle for us. We watched numerous vehicles depart, many with available space, while we stood there. Finally our driver came and drove us down the bumpy road to the main (also bumpy) road where we watched about 15 vehicles passing us by, all with available space. After about half an hour of wondering if we were ever going to get to the park Ram drove us to another location where we joined a family of three and headed off down the bumpy road, through villages and towns, passing by many entrances to Ranthambore. AN HOUR AND A HALF DRIVE LATER we entered Station #9, the furthest away from the Tigress Lodge where we were staying. Along the way the guide spoke very little and when he did it was in Hindi for the benefit of the family we joined. They are lovely people who all spoke excellent English, in fact the little bit of the tour that we got was via translation from the father of the family. It was the guide who spoke no English. After the hour and a half ride we spent a bit over an hour in the park seeing a few deer and birds and then headed back out for the same torturous hour and a half trip back to the Tigress. In other words a total waste of time. At our insistence the local tour operator guaranteed us an early morning pick up for the second safari drive. Indeed a vehicle did show up (as did Ram, even though he was supposed to have time off, just in case we were stood up again). This time we went to station #8, marginally closer, with a guide who also barely spoke and knew about 20 English words. Our companions were a couple from the UK who were throughly disgusted by the experience. Since it was marginally better than the previous day, at least we were picked up and we didn’t have to go QUITE so far, it was a slightly better experience but still no tigers and no narration about the park. I will give the guide and driver credit for trying to find a tiger for us. It just wasn’t happening. And that was our “tiger safari”. It shouldn’t be marketed that way. If you have been on safari in Africa, in no way does this experience resemble. From our African safaris—the guides speak excellent English and give LOTS of information about the park and the wildlife. You might not see every species but you will certainly see many. My advice: use Joyful Holidays if you want a custom designed private tour in India. If your time is short stick to the Golden Triangle. I wish we had. Read more Written March 12, 2024

We started in Dehli, traveled to Varanasi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and ended in Mumbai. Our driver, Praveen held everything together and was on standby 24/7. His attention to the details of the trip made it so easy for us. We loved hearing his stories and miss him now. All the guides were exceptional. They were knowledgeable about the sites and history and also led us through the streets to "experience" India. The guide in Agra, Atul, was the absolute best and we toured the Taj Majah at a relaxed pace and full of awe. But again, all of the guides were great! We selected and booked our own hotels and Joyful Holidays worked with our schedule, filling it with the right balance of touring and relaxation time. We ran into group tours and in watching them, made us even more thankful we chose the private tour path. Read more Written February 3, 2024

Slower paced Delhi itinerary: a realistic 2 days in Delhi

As the second largest city in the world, Delhi can be an overwhelming place to travel for any given length of time. If you are only spending 2 days in Delhi like I did there is logistically no possible way to see and do everything but you can definitely knock out the highlights!

If you’re like me and are sensitive to constant noise and stop-and-go traffic you will want to limit the amount of stops for each day.

Personally, I found the layout of our 2 day Delhi itinerary to have a good balance of attractions and time spent at each place. I never felt rushed and by the end of the day, I was ready to go back to the hotel.

So if you don’t want to move as fast as this city does keep reading for the perfect slow-paced 2-day Delhi itinerary.

Note : We did all of our activities as part of a private customized tour that was set up by my fiance’s parents through personal connections. However, I have done my best to recommend comparable tours that can be booked online. 

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links. This means that, at zero cost to you, I will earn an affiliate commission if you click through the link and finalize a purchase.

Don’t have time to read the full article? See the 2 Days in Delhi Highlights Top Landmark : Qutab Minar UNESCO World Heritage Site was so interesting to me. You can visit on your own or as part of a guided tour . Top Sightseeing Tour: Old and New Delhi Sightseeing Tour – I love this choice because it combines the old history and modern day India in to one tour and it only costs 2329 INR ($28 USD)! Top Hotel : The Oberoi New Delhi is affordable luxury in an idellic location! Enjoy views of Humayun’s Tomb on one side and Delhi’s Golf Course on the other. There are endless ammenities including a spa, two pools, and five restaurants; two of which are on the rooftop! Top Day Trip : The Taj Mahal is only 3 hours by road from New Delhi so if you haven’t been this is a must! Most people including myself go on a guided tour. I like this Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour because you can beat most of the crowds and watch as the sun rises over this Wonder of the World!

Hindi and English are the most commonly spoken languages in Delhi.

While there’s no strict dress code for tourists, it’s a good idea to respect the local customs and traditions by avoiding overly revealing or offensive clothing. I suggest covering your shoulders and knees, especially when visiting religious sites. In the hotter months wear loose clothing made out of breathable fabrics such as cotton. In the winter you will want to pack long pants and shirts, light jackets, and closed-toed shoes.

Yes, if you plan accordingly (follow this itinerary) 2 days in Delhi will allow you to see the main highlights of both Old Delhi and New Delhi. However, at least 3 days would be ideal if you want to fully immerse yourself in the culture.

The currency in India is the Indian Rupee (INR).

No, the tap water is Delhi is not safe to drink. Make sure to only drink bottle water to prevent getting sick.

For a major city, not really. You can really spend as little as much as you want as there are decent hotels and food options for all budgets. Many of the attrations are free or have a small admission fee. It will be especially affordable if you are coming from a country like the United States because of the exchange rate.

Delhi Itinerary: Day 1

Morning: explore the unesco world heritage site of qutab minar and its monuments.

This 2 day in Delhi itinerary begins with the tallest monument in Delhi. Located in South Delhi, Qutab Minar stands at 72.5 m (238 feet) tall which is an impressive accomplishment considering that it was built in the 12th century. It was made out of red sandstone and marble and the inside features a spiral staircase which was used as a watchtower and also as a prayer chamber. 

Qutbuddin Aibakas, who was part of Delhi’s first Islamic empire, began construction of this minaret after defeating the Rajput rulers (Hindu). Also referred to as the “Victory Tower”, this 5-story landmark is inscribed with words from the Koran and is a symbol of Islamic rule in India.

After seeing this tower in person it is definitely a site you have to experience first-hand to be able to fully appreciate it. While Qutab Minar is the main attraction this historical complex also has many other interesting mosques, tombs, and structures including the Iron Pillar, the Quwwatul Islam Masjid ruins, Imam Zamin’s Tomb, Alai Minar, and more.

You can buy tickets at the gate for 50 INR ($0.60), online for 35 INR ($0.40), or if you don’t have transport you can join this private Qutub Minar Tour for 4,685 INR ($56 USD) that also visits the Lotus Temple (the next stop on this list) and Dilli Haat. It is a 5-hour tour that begins as early as 9 am which will still give you enough time to visit the Akshardham Temple in the evening for the water show (more on this below). 

My Finding’s Tip : Just a 15-minute walk from Qutab Minar is the Mehrauli Archaeological Park .

Afternoon: Lotus Temple

Next up on the itinerary is the Lotus Temple . The iconic design of this temple is meant to replicate the lotus flower which is the National Flower of India. 

Does this design look familiar to you but you can’t figure out why? It’s probably because you’re thinking of the Sydney Opera House in Australia but the designer was said to have been inspired by the shape of the shells on the Sydney Harbor. 

The Lotus Temple serves as a place of worship for those of the Baha’i faith who believe in the possibility of world peace by uniting all races and people of the world together. 

To respect the temple we had to remove our shoes and silence our phones before entering. The workers encouraged people to pray or meditate once inside the hall but you can also just walk through and admire the architecture as I did. There is no photography allowed inside the temple but the details were truly incredible! 

I definitely think that the Lotus Temple has to be a part of your 2 days in Delhi! You can either visit on the Qutab Minar and Lotus Temple combo tour that I mentioned above or you can visit on your own for free but you will still need to hire transport which is why I’d suggest the tour. 

Evening: Akshardham

To end off the first day of your 2 days in Delhi you’ll head to the architectural wonder of the Akshardham Temple . Here, you’ll get to admire a beautiful temple, be immersed in the local culture, and learn about the history and teachings of Hinduism. 

While you could visit the temple early in the morning for less crowds the benefit of visiting in the early evening is that you can see the temple when there is still daylight and also the daily water show that happens right after sunset.

Not much of the temple is visible from outside of the gates so I was so curious to see what was inside. I must say, the Akshardham Temple is unlike any place I’ve ever been to. It was absolutely stunning! 

I primarily came to enjoy the architecture and my goodness the intricate carvings in the sandstone were breathtaking but I was shocked to also be invested in the teachings of Pramukh Swami Maharaj that are told in words and carvings on the outer edge of the temple. 

As a Christian, I personally don’t believe in these teachings but I think it is important to gain an understanding of other belief systems because it helps me to understand different cultures. 

Tips for visiting the Akshardham Temple:

• Leave all electronics at your hotel (otherwise they will need to be put into a locker)
• Follow the dress code: cover your shoulders, chest, stomach, upper arms, and below knee-length for bottoms
• Bring money for the food court

Visiting Akshardham Temple is completely free but I highly recommend adding on the water show that happens every evening as the sun begins to set. It only costs 90 INR ($1 USD) so you shouldn’t pass this opportunity up! 

If you don’t have transport arranged the easiest way is to join a guided tour like this one which includes hotel pick up and drop off, your tickets to the water show, access to the other paid exhibits, and a local guide who will be able to explain the temple to you. On the way back to your hotel you will also be given the option to stop somewhere for dinner.

The cost of this tour starts at 5,189 INR ($62 USD) per person but goes down in price with the more people you have. The best part is that if you do the 9 am Qutab Minar and Lotus Temple Tour first you will have time to join the guided Akshardham Tour which doesn’t start until 4 pm (time may vary depending on the time of the year). If you’re interested you can book this exact tour here .

Unfortunately for me, visiting the temple was a last-minute decision so we had no idea about the water show until we were inside. Because no electronics were allowed, we had no way of telling our driver that we wanted to stay longer for the show. 

Delhi Itinerary: Day 2

Morning – afternoon: humayun’s tomb, india gate, and lodhi garden, humayun’s tomb.

If you love photography or architecture then Humayun’s Tom b has to be on your 2 days in Delhi itinerary! This tomb is set in a lush garden setting surrounded by neem trees. 

If you want to take photos with no people you’ll want to get here when it opens which is at 6 am every day. 

As far as history goes, this tomb was built in the 16th century by Humayun’s first wife and one of the most interesting facts about it is that the Mughal-style architecture is said to have inspired the Taj Mahal. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

All-in-all there are over 100 graves within the entire complex, so good luck finding them all! Make sure to climb to the top of the tomb for awesome views of the gardens and the city of Delhi. 

It costs 600 INR ($7.21 USD) for foreigners and 35 INR for Indians. If you want the convenience of a tour, this Private Half-Day Tour of Delhi visits Humayun’s Tomb and other popular spots including India Gate, and the Lodi Garden (the next two places on this itinerary). It includes hotel pick up and drop off, a guide, and all entrance fees for just 2555 INR ($31 USD) – what a great deal! 

Note : If you choose the tour, the earliest you can get to the tomb is around 9 am. 

The impressive 42-meter tall (138 feet) India Gate is a sobering reminder of the 84,000 Indian soldiers who died during World War I and the Afgan War.

Walking through the gate as a foreigner was a really cool experience and I liked how there were some informational panels next to it where I was able to learn more about India’s history. 

In addition to the gate, there are also lovely lush gardens and fountains to stroll through or sit and relax for a little while. 

There is no cost to visit this landmark and it is open 24/7. For the most peace and quiet I would recommend visiting on a weekday. 

My Findings Tip : If you are not visiting India Gate as part of a guided tour like the Private Half-Day Tour of Delhi I mentioned earlier, or you could opt to save this activity for the evening when the gate lights up. Evenings or early mornings are also ideal if visiting in the summer. 

Lodhi Garden

Looking for a tranquil escape from the chaos of the city? The Lodhi Garden is a beautiful and calm spot to go for a walk and enjoy the manicured grounds, old trees, wonderful-smelling flowers, water features, and historical artifacts.

Keep an eye out for parrots, ducks, and other birds that call this place home! 

This garden does a great job of tying together the ancient and modern worlds as all of the historical elements have been well preserved. 

If you want to learn more about the history attached to the gardens there are guided tours offered on-site or you can simply read from the posted signage. 

If you want to take your time here I would recommend going on your own instead of visiting as part of a tour. However, if time is an issue, this private tour stops here for around 20 minutes. 

Late Afternoon: Red Fort

A destination that embodies Old Delhi is the Red Fort which takes up around 250 acres and the fort walls stretch over 2 km (1.24 mi) long. It’s one of the most important pieces of India’s history so this must-visit landmark is a great way to end your 2 days in Delhi!

The fort, made from red sandstone, started to be built in 1638 when the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan decided to move the capital of India from Agra to Delhi. The project was finished 10 years later in 1648. It served as the main residence of the Mughal Emperors for around 200 years. 

Once you get inside the fort there are several other gates and famous structures to check out including Delhi Gate, Diwan-i-Aam, and the Steam of Paradise which flows through the palaces and gardens. 

While exploring inside we got a little bit hungry so we enjoyed some food at the Cafe Delhi Heights before checking out the gift shop. 

Skip-the-line tickets to the Red Fort can be purchased online in advance for 3077 INR ($37 USD) whereas standard in-person tickets cost just 500 INR ($6 USD) for foreigners and 35 INR for nationals.

I recommend adding on a guide because they only cost 333 INR ($4 USD) so it’s well worth it to learn about the history that lies behind these walls.

The Red Fort is open every day from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm except for Mondays. You can also visit after normal hours for the light and water show. The time for this varies throughout the year so you’ll need to check the website for timings . 

Other Activities to Do During 2 Days in Delhi

While the outline above recommends the activities that we chose to do during our 2 days in Delhi I also wanted to leave you some other alternative options in case you have different interests or decide to spend more than 2 days in Delhi. 

• Learn about Mahatma Gandhi – Gandhi is a household name all around the world. If you want to take a deeper dive to understand what made him such an impactful leader there are several museums around Delhi dedicated to him. Some of the most popular include Gandhi Smriti, The National Gandhi Museum, and the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum. There is also this Footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi Tour that will take you to notable places including his home, memorial, and the National Gandhi Museum. 
• Jantar Mantar – Which directly translates to “instruments for measuring the harmony of the heavens” is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with 13 different astrology instruments that were once used to predict time. There are 5 different Jantar Mantar locations in India and I actually visited the Jaipur location. My recommendation is to look for a guide to hire near the entrance who can explain the different instruments to you. 
• Visit the markets – India is known for its bustling markets where you can shop for clothing, unique jewelry, art, and handmade souvenirs from all around India! Some of the most popular markets are Janpath and Tibetan Market , Dilli Haat , Paharganj , and Chandni Chowk . You can visit them on your own or join this particular private shopping tour where you’ll be able to customize the stops that are included. Just be prepared to bring your best bargaining skills!
• Try the street food – One of the best parts of any trip is the local food scene and the bold and diverse flavors in Delhi will not disappoint! The easiest way to navigate the language barrier and taste a range of the city’s most iconic dishes is on a food tour. On this particular street food tour you’ll sample specialties like soft paratha flatbreads and spiced aloo chaat potatoes. Then offset the savory flavors with some sweet treats including lassi, deep-fried jalebis, and rice pudding.

Easiest Way to Get Around Delhi

There are several methods of transport that you can use to navigate around Delhi and while you can use public busses and rickshaws I have listed the safest ways for below:

• Metro – Delhi Metro is one of the most efficient and convenient ways to travel within the city. It connects various parts of Delhi and its neighboring areas. It’s a clean, air-conditioned, and affordable option. You can purchase smart cards or tokens at metro stations.
• Taxi/Uber – You can easily find taxis in Delhi, including regular taxis and app-based cab services like Uber and Ola. These provide a more comfortable and air-conditioned option for transportation. Ensure that the driver uses the meter or agrees on a fare before starting the ride.
• Tour – If you would be uncomfortable navigating such a large and busy city on your own I suggest a guided sightseeing tour like this one where you’ll be privately driven around Old and New Delhi. You can browse all Delhi sightseeing tours on Viator . I personally use Viator because most of their tours have customer-verified views. Plus, they have a great cancelation policy in case plans change.

Best Day Tours From Delhi

If you haven’t thoroughly planned your entire India trip yet you might want to consider the different cities that you can explore easily from Delhi. Below are some of the most popular day tour options you can choose from. However, if you are able to allot a few more days into your itinerary my personal recommendation would be to book one of the multi-day tours which are in the section right after this one!

Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour  

Let’s face it, the Taj Mahal is one of the main reasons why people visit India so if you haven’t already booked your tour yet this Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour is one of the best options out there.

It’s a long 15-hour tour but I know that it will be worth it once you see how stunning this Wonder of the World is in person! You will depart at either 2 am, 2:30 am, or 3 am and drive 5 hours to Agra just in time to watch the sun rise over the Taj Mahal. The best part of this tour is the knowledgeable guide who will accompany you. Our guide taught us so much history and information about the architecture and surrounding monuments. He also gave me helpful photography tips so I left with a ton of amazing photos! You can book this Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour here for 9980 INR ($120 USD).

Private Same-Day Jaipur Tour

The Pink City of Jaipur is on many tourist’s bucket lists, and for good reason because it is a beautiful place with lots of history! This particular private tour starts at 5 am when you will be picked up from your hotel in Delhi by your driver and then drive 5 hours to Jaipur. Your first stop is the beautiful Amber Palace which was my personal favorite site – it is huge!

Next up is a brief visit to the Jal Mahal palace which sits in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. Then, be intrigued by the royal history of the Palace of the Wind and City Palace of Jaipur before ending the day at the World Heritage Site, Jantar Mantar. This complex was built in 1734 and has 19 astrological instruments which were cool to look at!

You can book this Private Day Tour of Jaipur here for 4075 INR ($49 USD).

Day Trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh

On this 14-hour day trip from Delhi, you will visit Haridwar and Rishikesh which are two cities in the state of Uttarakhand that hold religious significance in India. Haridwar directly translates to “Gateway to God” and is said to be one of the seven holiest places in Hinduism.

Rishikesh is slightly northeast of Haridwar and it is also a spiritual hub known as the “Yoga Capitol of the World”. It is located at the foothills of the Himalayas so it’s a popular starting point for trekking. Rishikesh also has a lot of natural beauty and adventure activities.

This day trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh will familiarize you with all of the main attractions in both cities and you will learn all about their historical and religious significance including a visit to the Ganges River where many people take part in ritual baths to cleanse their sins and souls. You will then explore different hanging bridges, ashrams, shrines, and more!

It will be a packed day but it is such a unique experience! You can book this tour here for 10729 INR ($129 USD).

Personally, I recommend allowing enough time in your itinerary so you can book a multi-day tour from Delhi versus going on one of the day trips I listed above. Not only will you be able to see a lot more but you won’t be as rushed for time. Plus, most of the multiday tours combine the Taj Mahal in Agra and the city of Jaipur so bundling them is cheaper and more efficient than taking two separate day trips. I would only recommend taking a day trip if you are limited to one day.

Here are the multi-day tours I recommend most:

Four-Day Private Luxury Golden Triangle Tour to Agra and Jaipur

The Golden Triangle is the most popular tour route in India which connects New Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. This four-day tour in particular is one of the most highly rated options that hits these popular cities along with 4 or 5-star hotel stays. It’s a great value priced at just 16301 INR ($196 USD) per person. On day one you will tour around New Delhi and see many sites including a few that I mentioned above. On day two you will be driven to the Taj Mahal for sunrise before checking out Agra Fort and the Itmad-ud-Daula tomb. The third day starts by driving to Jaipur for a full day of exploration. Some notable stops are Amber Palace, Jah Mahal, City Palace, and Jantar Mantar.

3- Day Ranthambore Wildlife Safari Tour

One of the less popular places to visit from Delhi is Ranthambore National Park. If you want to see tigers in their natural habitat you’re in luck because this national park is one of India’s Project Tiger reserves and home to a large tiger population. I love this 3-Day Wildlife Safari Tour from Delhi because you get to go on 3 different safaris so your chance of spotting Bengal tigers is high not to mention the other native species that can be found here including leopards, sloth bears, sambar deer, striped hyena, and more! This will be an unforgettable experience that costs 41501 INR ($499 USD) per person and includes all transport, entrance fees, safaris, 2-night accommodation, and two breakfasts and lunches.

10-Day Private Golden Triangle and Holy City Tour

If you want to maximize your time in India I recommend seeing it all on this Private 10-Day Tour from Delhi . Not only will you get to see the highlights like the Taj Mahal and the top attractions in Jaipur on the Golden Triangle route but in addition you will also venture further to the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri, and cruise the Ganges in Varanasi, which is said to be India’s most sacred city. For the length of this tour, I seriously cannot believe how affordable it is priced at just 41917 INR ($504 USD) per person! 3-star hotels are included in the cost along with all breakfasts, and private transportation with a driver.

Where to Stay in Delhi

In Delhi, there is no shortage of accommodation options. To make your hotel hunt a little bit easier I’ve selected a hotel for low, moderate, and high budgets that you can read more about below.

Hotel Pearl – Mahipalpur Delhi Airport $ – If you’re only spending 2 days in Delhi you might want to stay close to the airport. Hotel Pearl is less than a mile from the airport and around 6 miles from Qutub Minar. It’s affordably priced at around 8317 INR ($100 USD) per night and has spacious and stylish furniture and decor. The rooms and bathrooms are thoroughly cleaned. A nice Indian breakfast buffet can be added on for just 333 INR ($4 USD). I also like that Hotel Pearl has a 24-hour taxi service so it is convenient for any flight time.

Park Inn by Radisson, South Delhi $$ – This is where we stayed and it was a great experience! I will always remember how helpful the front desk staff were. Park Inn by Radisson is located in South Delhi with access to the metro station (1 min walk) and close to the airport and many notable landmarks. Our Business Room was very clean and spacious with a seating area, mini-bar, TV, and hot shower. Plus, their WiFi was the fastest that I’d experienced anywhere in India! The free breakfast was more than satisfactory with both American and Indian options on the buffet. We also enjoyed a great dinner from here one night which was very convenient after a long day.

You can check availability and book Park Inn by Radisson here for around 8982 INR ($108) USD a night.

The Oberoi New Delh i $$$ – Want to feel like royalty? You will find just that at the newly renovated Oberoi New Delhi! The service here is out of this world and the staff will make sure that each of your needs are met. I think this hotel is absolutely stunning and one side of the hotel has views of Delhi’s Golf Club while the other showcases Humayun’s Tomb.

It is located in Central Delhi and just 10 minutes from the international airport. The list of amenities is endless. Get a massage at the spa & wellness center, take a dip in the indoor or outdoor pools, workout in the 24-hour fitness center, or take advantage of the complementary yoga each morning. The Oberoi has a variety of dining options including a delicious rooftop Chinese restaurant, an open-air rooftop bar, a wine cellar, an authentic Indian restaurant, and a Cigar Lounge with a full bar.

All of the rooms are air-conditioned and have free WiFi and a minibar. They also feature a large picture window so you can enjoy the view. On average the nightly rate is 28511 INR ($343 USD). If you have a luxurious travel style I don’t think you can go wrong with The Oberoi.

Best Time to Visit Delhi

Delhi experiences three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter. I visited Delhi during the winter which is the best time for sightseeing outside. I experienced moderate temperatures averaging in the mid-50s to mid-60s (48°F to 68°F) during the daytime and in the evening it cooled off into the 40s to where I needed a light jacket to be comfortable. 

The winter season is also when there are several holidays being celebrated including Diwali, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.

Spring (March and April) is also a decent time to visit as a tourist because the spring flowers are blooming. The daytime temperatures in spring are still comfortable ranging from 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F). 

Summer (May to June) and Monsoon season (July to September) are the times of year to avoid visiting India. Summer brings with it oppressive temperatures that can reach up to 104 F whereas the heavy rainfall during the Monsoon season can cause high humidity and flooded roads.

Practical Tips for Visiting Delhi

Street Food : While Delhi is famous for its street food, exercise caution when trying it prevent Delhi Belly. Opt for busy stalls with a high turnover of food to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses.

Bargaining : Bargaining is common in Delhi’s markets and with auto rickshaw drivers. Be prepared to negotiate prices when shopping and for short rides.

Safety : Delhi is generally safe for tourists, but be cautious of pickpockets, especially in crowded areas and markets. Keep your belongings secure and avoid displaying expensive items like jewelry.
