• Friday Mosque (Jama Masjid) - Renowned as one of India’s most stunning mosques and a masterpiece of Mughal architecture in Delhi, the Jama Masjid was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan between 1644 and 1656, the same ruler who constructed the Taj Mahal. With the capacity to accommodate over 25,000 worshippers simultaneously, its impressive red sandstone and white marble courtyard provides a breathtaking introduction to the Mughal era. Visitors of all faiths are welcome, and the view of Old Delhi from its towering minarets is truly unforgettable.

Admission is not included. Modest attire is required, with wraps available at the entrance. A camera fee applies.

• Chandni Chowk Market - Constructed by Shah Jahan’s daughter Jahanara in 1650, Chandni Chowk, meaning “Moonlit Square,” was once the grandest boulevard in Asia. Today, it remains one of India’s most lively and bustling markets, offering a sensory feast of vibrant saris, silver jewelry, dried fruits, spices, and traditional Indian sweets. Your guide will lead you through the hidden alleys that most visitors miss, unveiling the true essence of Old Delhi.
• Gali Paranthe Wali - Nestled within a narrow lane off Chandni Chowk is one of Delhi’s most cherished culinary gems, “Gali Paranthe Wali,” the “alley of stuffed breads.” Family-run shops here have been serving freshly made parathas, filled with everything from potato and paneer to dried fruits and rabri since 1875. This is not just street food; it is a living culinary heritage, unchanged for over 150 years. A tasting stop is highly recommended and not to be missed.
• Khari Baoli - Prepare your senses for Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest wholesale spice market, which has been the trading hub of Old Delhi since the 17th century. Over 500 varieties of spices, herbs, nuts, seeds, dry fruits, rice, and tea are traded here daily in a vibrant display of color, aroma, and commerce unique to this part of the world. Your guide will assist you in identifying rare spices, understanding their culinary and medicinal uses, and finding the best quality at the best prices.
• Naughara - One of Old Delhi’s best-kept secrets, Naughara, meaning “nine homes,” is a peaceful gated neighborhood accessed through the bustling Kinari Bazaar, making its sudden tranquility feel almost magical. At the end of this charming lane stands a 19th-century Jain Swetamber Temple, its entrance adorned with white marble, vivid stained glass, and brilliant painted panels. This is the hidden, spiritual heart of Shahjahanabad that most visitors never discover.
• Dariba Kalan - Delhi’s most historic silver and jewelry market derives its name from the Persian phrase Dur-e-be-baha, meaning “unparalleled pearl,” a fitting title for a street that has traded in precious stones, gold, and silver since the reign of Shah Jahan in the 17th century. This lane witnessed one of history’s darkest moments when Persian invader Nadir Shah’s army looted its gold shops during the infamous Delhi Massacre of 1739. Today, it thrives again, and its silversmiths produce some of the finest handcrafted jewelry in India.
• Red Fort - No exploration of Shahjahanabad is complete without pausing before the iconic Red Fort, Shah Jahan’s magnificent palace-fortress built in 1639, which gave the city its original character. Even from the outside, its massive red sandstone walls rising 33 meters above the street serve as a powerful reminder of the empire that created everything around you.

The tour includes an exterior visit to the Red Fort. Interior entry is optional and self-funded if guests wish to explore independently after the tour.
