Delhi :- Old And New Delhi Private One Day Tour By Car
Old And New Delhi Private One Day Tour By Car : Delhi, the capital of India, is a city of stark contrasts and profound historical significance. It is a city that seamlessly blends the ancient with the modern, giving visitors a unique opportunity to delve into the heart of India's rich past while witnessing its rapid transformation into a bustling metropolis. The city is often divided into two distinct parts: Old Delhi and New Delhi.
Old Delhi, or "Purani Dilli," stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Mughal Empire that once ruled over India. Founded by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, this part of the city encapsulates the essence of India's rich history and diverse culture.
In stark contrast to the narrow lanes and historical grandeur of Old Delhi, New Delhi is a planned city that emerged during the British colonial era and showcases a more modern and orderly aspect of India.
Embark on a captivating journey through time and contrast with Travocation's Old And New Delhi Private One Day Tour By Car. This immersive experience takes you through the heart of India, showcasing the amalgamation of historical grandeur and modern vibrancy.

Wander through the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk, absorbing the flavors of the spice market and the vibrant street life. After a traditional lunch at a local eatery, transition seamlessly to New Delhi, marked by wide avenues and colonial-era landmarks. Visit India Gate, a symbol of national pride, and Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage site exemplifying Mughal garden tomb architecture.
