Day 01: Arrival Delhi
New Delhi, India’s national capital, is a relatively modern confection of imposing government buildings including
Parliament, museums and wide leafy boulevards loosely centred on circular Connaught Place (officially now called
Rajiv Chowk). To its north lies the formerly walled city of Old Delhi, or Shahjahanabad, built in the 17th-century by
the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Though long merged into one metropolis, the two have very different characters.
New Delhi has space, parks, distinct neighbourhoods and a clutch of important monuments and architecture that
reflect its ancient history. Old Delhi’s crowded streets, lanes and bazaars reflect its colourful medieval character and
they cradle some of the city’s most memorable sights.
