New Delhi Tourism

Delhi is a many coloured canvas where the past co-exists with the present. On arrival most tend to be taken back a little by the pollution, the crowds, the smell, the noise and the ceaseless hassles long before you notice the city's charms. But charming it is, as you will soon discover. The history of this city is fascinating, the bazaars are a wonderful, the monuments are among the most architecturally striking in the country and the food is great.

Delhi is the capital of India and it's also the travel hub of northern India. It's an excellent base for visiting Agra and the Taj Mahal and Jaipur which are not far away. If you're heading north to the Himalaya Mountains or east to the ghats of Varanasi, you'll probably pass through Delhi.

India's capital city is huge. Here, a succession of capitals built in different locations over the centuries, have left behind hundreds of monuments that reflect diverse influences: from Hinduism to Islam to British-turned-secular independent India. One of the better ways of seeing it all and with better understanding, perhaps, is to divide the city into sections, then go out and explore each area independently. If you try to cram it all in, in one go, you will get confused and in fact find it pretty impossible to achieve.

If you want crowds, get lost in Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk but for the feel of Old Delhi without the masses the infrequently visited Nizamudin where you can see the Hazrat Nizamudin Aulia, a Sufi tomb in an old-style Moslem district is worth a look see. Of course wherever you are, go shopping as Delhi is one big emporium offering all India's handicrafts and art forms. At the end of the day there are numerous parks and gardens in which to take a relaxing evening amble in which you can gather your thoughts regarding the following day’s adventures.

Besides being the seat of the Central Government, Delhi has an economy supported by agriculture, tourism, commerce and a growing industry. With the development of infrastructure facilities, the capital plays host to a number of national and international events including sports related events, conferences and seminars. For the visitor, it serves as a perfect introduction to the cultural wealth, the complexities and dynamism of India.

Today, the city is a curious blend of the modern and traditional, skyscrapers, beautiful gardens and wide tree-lined avenues perpetuate the Mughal passion of landscaping and architectural excellence. More important, however, Delhi blends within its folds the great cultural variety of India and offers an assortment of hotels and resorts to suit all walks of life and has an abundance of things to see and do. Once visited you’ll find it hard to leave and every moment in this colourful capital, will be an experience you won’t forget.
