Delhi, the capital of India, is a city of marvellous contrast. Its past and present mesh   seamlessly to make it an exciting palace to visit. The sprawling modern metropolis of Delhi enfolds within its limits the remains of seven earlier cities. Today the imposing forts and tombs of these earlier times co-exist comfortable with the elegant edifices of the British Raj and modern high rise buildings. Cool tree-lined avenues with their whitewashed bungalows are as much a part of the city's charms as the ordered chaos of the arrow lanes and busy bazaars of the walled city of Shahjahanabad.

Delhi is a microcosm of India a marvellousmix of people and traditions where museums and cultural centers offer the finest exhibits, art and the best performance from around the country.

Delhi's fascinating bazaars and markets spillover with the finest that India has to offer handicrafts, garments, fabrics and jewellery-making shopping a special delight.

A major gateway into India, Delhi is the logical start to an exploration of northern India. It is also a part of the Golden Triangle, an exciting circuit of the three magnificent Cities of Delhi-Agra -Jaipur. places
