Early this morning, take a food centric Walking tour of Old Delhi. Mornings in Old Delhi (Purani Dilli) are a tranquil affair. A stroll across these nearly deserted lanes will take you back in time. It is a fascinating experience to observe the unusually quaint and serene morning scenes at an otherwise chaotic marketplace and when it is teamed up with mouth-watering food and this wondrous exploration transmutes into an indelible experience. This particular walk is curated in such a way that it covers all the iconic breakfast places with major sightseeing of Old Delhi.
Our curated exploration starts amidst the colorful chaos of Asia's biggest wedding card market. Here, amidst the stacks of vibrant paper, we'll fuel up for the day with a unique trio: crispy Bedmi poori, melt-in-your-mouth Nagori Halwa, and the hearty Chole Kulche – all local favorites that will tantalize your taste buds.
Next, we journey to the majestic Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques. Immerse yourself in the vibrant Muslim community as we delve into the world of Mughal royalty. Savor authentic breakfast dishes like the slow-cooked Nihari and rich Paaya, all complemented by the pillowy softness of Khameeri roti and the sweetness of Sheermal breads.
No Delhi experience is complete without a visit to its legendary spice market. Hop on a local rickshaw (subject to availability) and prepare to be dazzled by a kaleidoscope of colors and aromas. Witness the energy of hundreds of traders bartering over a mind-boggling variety of spices, from everyday essentials to exotic treasures. Afterward, we'll ascend to a rooftop overlooking the bustling market, where you can capture panoramic views of Old Delhi with the iconic Fatehpuri Mosque as your backdrop. A refreshing cup of chai, the perfect Indian pick-me-up, will complete this stimulating experience.
Our adventure continues in the historic lanes of Chandni Chowk, the heart of Old Delhi. Here, we'll indulge in the legendary Chole-Bhature, a combination of fluffy fried bread and a spicy chickpea curry. We'll also quench our thirst with a refreshing Lassi, a yogurt-based drink. No culinary journey is complete without a sweet ending, so we'll visit one of Chandni Chowk's oldest sweet shops, established over a century ago, to savor delectable Indian treats.
To conclude this unforgettable experience, we'll find solace and peace at a Gurudwara, a Sikh place of worship. Witness the selfless service and community spirit that defines this religion as we savor a traditional langar meal
This is more than just a food walk; it's a journey into the soul of Old Delhi. Discover the hidden gems, vibrant culture, and unforgettable flavors that make this city so special.
This afternoon, take a tour of undiscovered parts of New Delhi. Go beyond the iconic landmarks of Delhi and dive into the offbeat charm. Check out hidden alleys, lesser known cultural gems that redefine Delhi essence for explorers seeking unique experience. Our first stop is Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which dates to the 12th century. The sprawling archaeological area is spread over 200 acres in Mehrauli, Delhi, adjacent to Qutub Minar World Heritage site and the Qutub complex. It consists of over 100 historically significant monuments. Overlooked by most of the tourist hordes, this park preserves some of the most historic relics of Delhi.
In the evening, Head to Miso Sexy during the sunset hour to catch a stunning view of the Qutub Minar on one side, and the sunset on the other if you sit on the terrace. Aiming to alter Delhi's nightlife, Miso Sexy offers the best of everything—view, parties, vibes, food and cocktails. The menu is mainly pan-Asian with an extensive bar menu to go with it. They usually have live music, and are one of the most romantic restaurants in Delhi.
