• Qutub Minar - Start your day with a pick-up at 9am from your preferred location in Delhi, Gurugram (Gurgaon), or Noida. Explore Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, adorned with intricately carved sandstone bands featuring verses from the Quran. The tower rises to nearly 73 meters, tapering from a 15-meter base to just 2.5 meters at the top.
• Humayun’s Tomb - Visit Humayun’s Tomb, another UNESCO World Heritage site, which is the resting place of Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi. The tomb is beautifully proportioned and appears to float above its symmetrical gardens. It is believed to have inspired the Taj Mahal, predating it by 60 years.
• Lotus Temple - Experience the serene atmosphere of Delhi’s Lotus Temple, designed for peaceful worship. Shaped like a lotus flower, it features 27 delicate white-marble petals. The temple welcomes visitors of all faiths to pray or meditate silently. Note: The Lotus Temple is closed every Monday.
• Gurudwara Bangla Sahib - Discover this stunning white-marble gurdwara (Sikh temple), adorned with gleaming golden onion domes. It was built at the site where the eighth Sikh guru, Harkrishan Dev, stayed before his passing in 1664. The gurdwara is vibrant yet peaceful, with live devotional songs filling the air. As with all gurudwaras, free meals are provided to pilgrims daily.
• Lodhi Garden - Enjoy a visit to Delhi’s most charming escape, originally named after Lady Willingdon, who had two villages cleared in 1936 to create a park with Lodi-era tombs. Today, these lush, tree-shaded gardens are a popular retreat for Delhi’s elite, local joggers, and couples, and they protect over 100 species of trees and 50 species of birds and butterflies, along with several captivating 15th-century Mughal monuments.

Afterward, savor lunch at a local air-conditioned restaurant.

• India Gate - Marvel at this impressive 42-meter-high stone memorial arch, designed by Lutyens in 1921. It honors approximately 90,000 Indian army soldiers who lost their lives in WWI, the Northwest Frontier operations, and the 1919 Anglo-Afghan War.
• Parliament House - Visit this circular, colonnaded building, designed by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, where the 1947 transfer of power from Britain to independent India occurred. Parliament sessions are still held here.
• Rashtrapati Bhavan - Explore Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India. Once the home of the British Viceroy, the President’s House boasts 340 rooms and 2.5 kilometers of corridors, offering a fascinating glimpse inside.
• Birla Mandir Temple (Lakshmi Narayan) - This temple is dedicated to Laxmi (the goddess of prosperity) and Narayana (The preserver). It was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi on the condition that people of all castes could enter.

Witness the evening Aarti ceremony, a significant prayer ritual in Hindu culture. Representing the elements of fire, earth, water, and air, as well as the senses, the priest uses a tray with a diya (lamp), offerings of food, water, flowers, incense, and a small bell. An ‘Aarti lamp’ is passed around a deity, usually accompanied by songs praising the god. The lamp is believed to acquire the deity’s power, which is then shared with everyone present as the priest circulates the lamp. The ceremony concludes with everyone sharing the food offered to the Gods.

After the sightseeing, enjoy a drop-off at your preferred location in Delhi, Noida, or Gurugram (Gurgaon).
