Package Overview
Delhi is arguably the world's most historically layered city — seven distinct civilisations have left their monuments here across 5,000 years of continuous habitation. Our 5-day Imperial Delhi & Agra experience takes you from the narrow spice lanes of Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) to the sweeping Lutyens boulevards of New Delhi, from the 12th-century Qutub Minar to the world's greatest monument to love — the Taj Mahal, best seen at the golden moment of sunrise. A heritage-rich, culturally immersive journey for history lovers, first-time India visitors and anyone who wants to truly understand this ancient subcontinent.
