Dive into Delhi, taking in the history and heartbeat of the old city!

Although many of the old city walls and grand palaces have been destroyed throughout Delhi’s turbulent history, gates, forts and residential areas still survive. Join us as a we take a trip into the past and revisit the rise of Shahjahanabad, learn about the people who lived there and the fall of the Mughal Empire. Enjoy the chaos of Old Delhi while viewing breathtaking havelis and hidden alleyways as well as Chandni Chowk, Shahjahanabad’s main thoroughfare.

Visit the gate that links New Delhi with Old Delhi. Built by Shah Jahan in 1638, Delhi Gate was where the emperor passed through to get to Jama Masjid.
We don’t go inside as it is closed in the evening, but we think the best view is from outside where you can appreciate the imposing structure.
