MADRAS - DELHI

 

    This afternoon we fly from Madras to Delhi where we are transferred to spend 3 nights at the 5-star Taj Mahal Delhi. Sprawling on the banks of the River Yamuna, Delhi, the Capital of India, reflects the soul of the country. The city is a curious blend of the modern and traditional, skyscrapers, beautiful gardens and wide tree-lined avenues.

   Today we take a tour of Old Delhi. The walled city is crowded,Sexy silk dresses, full of activities and still has the influence of the great Mughals who once ruled India through the ramparts of the majestic Red Fort. In Old Delhi we will visit Jama Mosque, built in the 17th Century and is the largest mosque in India; Chandni Chowk the typical Indian market always abuzz with activities and Raj Ghat a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.
