Overview

Delhi, the capital city of India, is a perfect blend of history and modern life. Known as the Heart of India, Delhi is where ancient monuments stand beside modern buildings, and traditional markets exist next to large malls and business centers. The city has been ruled by many dynasties, and each has left its mark through forts, tombs, mosques, and temples.

Delhi is divided mainly into Old Delhi and New Delhi. Old Delhi is known for its narrow lanes, historic sites, and busy bazaars. New Delhi has wide roads, government buildings, embassies, and planned colonies. Together, they create a city full of contrast and character.

From heritage walks and museum visits to shopping and food tours, Delhi offers something for every type of traveler. With India Gate Tours and Travel, you can explore Delhi through guided sightseeing, cultural tours, and comfortable travel packages designed for families, couples, and groups.
