Lahori Gate of the Red Fort, Old Delhi

Delhi · Gateway City

Where every Himachal trip begins.

Red Fort at dawn, Humayun's Tomb at midday, India Gate at dusk. Most of our groups fly into Delhi first: here's what's worth a day before the mountains.

Before
the Mountains

We don't sell Delhi packages on their own; it's the city most of our Himachal and Leh–Ladakh groups land in first. If your dates allow a day or two before the drive north, this is worth seeing: Mughal-era architecture, wide colonial-era avenues, and a very different pace from where you're headed. Ask us to build it into your itinerary.

Red Fort & Qutub Minar

A 17th-century Mughal fortress and a 12th-century minaret, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, both easily covered in a single morning.

Humayun's Tomb & Lotus Temple

The Mughal tomb that inspired the Taj Mahal's design, and the sweeping white marble "petals" of the Bahá'í House of Worship.

Chandni Chowk

Old Delhi's 17th-century market street: narrow lanes, street food, and the kind of density that makes the mountains feel even quieter after.

India Gate & Akshardham

The war memorial anchoring Rajpath, and a modern temple complex built entirely from sandstone and marble, no steel used in its construction.
