Highlights

Qutub Minar - This experience will showcase the advent of Islamic architecture and religious practices in India. You will learn about the first Muslim rulers of Delhi and the changes in culture, customs, and urban milieu that their rule brought about. You will observe the earliest examples of domes and arches in India and see the fusion of Hindu carving skills with Muslim technology and design. A must for all history and architecture buffs. The Qutab Minar is best known as a soaring tower, puncturing the south Delhi sky with its 72 meter (235 feet) height. Yet there is much more to this complex than the 800-year-old minaret, with numerous other ancient structures, in various states of disrepair, scattered across the surrounding area. Construction of this UNESCO world heritage site began in about 1192, under the direction of the first Sultan of Delhi
Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque - Visit the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, which is located adjacent to the Qutub Minar. It’s one of the oldest mosques in India and features impressive architecture, including intricately carved columns.
Alai Darwaza - Head towards the Alai Darwaza, a grand gateway that was built by Sultan Alauddin Khilji. Admire its intricate details and learn about its historical significance.
Iltutmish’s Tomb - Visit the Tomb of Iltutmish, the second Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate. The tomb is located near the Qutub Minar and is known for its Indo-Islamic architectural style.
Iron Pillar of Delhi - Make your way to the famous Iron Pillar, which stands near the mosque. This nearly 7-meter tall iron pillar is famous for its corrosion resistance and has stood for over 1,600 years without rusting.
