Our first stop is the famous Friday Mosque in old Delhi, not far from the Chandni Chowk Area and the Red Fort. The Friday Mosque is the largest in India and one of the largest in the world. Enter the large courtyard and admire the mosque from the outside. The light and the still quiet mosque in the morning allow beautiful photos. Your guide will be happy to show you the best perspectives. He then accompanies you to the prayer rooms for men and women under huge vaults, where you can watch the faithful prayerfully.

Take a few steps with your travel companion to experience the hustle and bustle up close. Our car is always nearby when you have enough.

We consider a photo stop

We visit the beautiful well-kept park on the Raj Ghat with the memorial plaque for Gandhi, which was cremated on the Raj Ghat. Here we can enjoy the peace, the green and the flowers for a moment.

The All India War Memorial (India Gate) was built in 1921 and is a 42-meter-high triumphal arch modeled on the Arc d’Triomphe in Paris. It honors soldiers from British India who died in the First World War. Depending on traffic and wishes, we make a short photo stop or drive around the India Gate.

From the India Gate we get to the Presidential Palace via the Raj Path. The drive by car already gives us an impression of the enormous size of this building complex.

The Indian President's official residence on Raisina Hill was built from 1921-1929 by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker as part of the move of the government seat from Calcutta to Delhi. The building combines elements of the Mughal style such as chatri, domes, colors and reliefs (with lotus flowers and elephants) with classic British colonial architecture. The Ministry of Finance, Interior and Foreign Affairs are located here. The palace is also used for representational purposes on the occasion of state visits. We stop for a detailed look up close to admire details and on the 145 m high Jaipur column between the entrance gates. It is crowned by a glass star on a lotus flower. The Mughal Gardens belonging to the palace can only be visited for a few days in winter.

Admire this magnificent temple, founded by industrialist Birla in 1938, and dedicated to Vishnu (Narayan) and his wife Laxmi.

This place is the most important Sikh sanctuary next to the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Take your time to enjoy this beautiful temple with its golden dome. We look into the large kitchen, where volunteers prepare meals for up to 10,000 people in need, which they eat in a large hall.

Optionally we visit this beautiful red sandstone and white marble building, which is the tomb of Humayun (built by his widow Begum) and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
