Jama Masjid
One of India's most magnificent mosques and the crown jewel of Mughal architecture in Delhi, the Jama Masjid was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan between 1644 and 1656, the same emperor who built the Taj Mahal. Capable of holding over 25,000 worshippers at once, its grand red sandstone and white marble courtyard offers a breathtaking introduction to the Mughal world you are about to explore. Visitors are welcome regardless of faith, and the view of Old Delhi from its towering minarets is unforgettable.
Admission not included. Modest dress required, wraps provided at the entrance, Camera fee applicable

Marché de Chandni Chowk
Built by Shah Jahan's daughter Jahanara in 1650, Chandni Chowk, meaning "Moonlit Square" was once the grandest boulevard in all of Asia. Today it remains one of India's most vibrant and chaotic markets, a sensory feast of vivid saris, silver jewellery, dried fruits, spices, and traditional Indian sweets. Your guide will navigate you through the hidden side streets that most visitors never find, revealing the true beating heart of Old Delhi.

Gali Paranthe Wali
Tucked inside a narrow lane off Chandni Chowk lies one of Delhi's most beloved culinary secrets "Gali Paranthe Wali", the "alley of stuffed breads." Family-run shops here have been serving freshly made parathas, stuffed with everything from potato and paneer to dried fruits and rabri since 1875. This is not street food. This is living culinary heritage, unchanged for over 150 years.
A tasting stop, highly recommended and not to be missed.

Khari Baoli

Over 500 varieties of spices, herbs, nuts, seeds, dry fruits, rice, and tea are bought and sold here daily in a spectacle of colour, aroma, and commerce that is completely unique to this corner of the world. Your guide will help you identify rare spices, understand their culinary and medicinal uses, and find the best quality at the best prices.

Naughara
One of Old Delhi's best-kept secrets, Naughara, meaning "nine homes" is a tranquil gated neighbourhood entered through the bustling Kinari Bazaar, making its sudden quiet feel almost magical. At the end of this charming lane stands a 19th-century Jain Swetamber Temple, its entrance adorned in white marble, vivid stained glass, and brilliant painted panels. This is the hidden, spiritual soul of Shahjahanabad that most visitors never discover.

Dariba Kalan
Delhi's most historic silver and jewellery market takes its name from the Persian phrase Dur-e-be-baha, meaning "unparalleled pearl", a fitting title for a street that has traded in precious stones, gold, and silver since the reign of Shah Jahan in the 17th century. This lane witnessed one of history's darkest moments when Persian invader Nadir Shah's army looted its gold shops during the infamous Delhi Massacre of 1739. Today it thrives again, and its silversmiths produce some of the finest handcrafted jewellery in India.

Fort Rouge
No journey through Shahjahanabad is complete without pausing before the iconic Red Fort, Shah Jahan's magnificent palace-fortress built in 1639, which gave the city its original character. Even viewed from the outside, its massive red sandstone walls rising 33 metres above the street are a powerful reminder of the empire that created everything around you.
Red Fort Exterior visit is what we do in this tour
Interior entry is optional and self-funded if guests wish to explore independently after the tour.
