Delhi

Why Visit Delhi?

Delhi is two cities in one. Old Delhi (Shahjahanabad), built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, is a chaotic, sensory feast of narrow lanes, towering minarets, fragrant street food, and centuries-old shops. New Delhi, designed by British architect Edwin Lutyens, is a city of wide boulevards, manicured gardens, majestic government buildings, and diplomatic enclaves.

Together, they form one of the most fascinating capitals on earth — home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and Humayun's Tomb), legendary street food, world-class museums, and the starting point for India's famous Golden Triangle tour. Whether it's your first trip or your tenth, Delhi always reveals something new.

Best Time to Visit Delhi

The best time for a Delhi tour is October to March, when temperatures are pleasant (10–25°C) and skies are clear. November to February offers ideal weather, though early mornings can be foggy. Avoid April–June, when temperatures soar above 40°C, and July–September monsoon months bring heavy rain and humidity. October and February are arguably the most perfect months — comfortable temperatures, festive atmosphere, and good air quality.

How to Reach Delhi

Delhi is India's main international gateway. Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) is one of Asia's busiest hubs, with direct flights from London, New York, Dubai, Singapore, Sydney, and almost every major world city. The city is connected to the rest of India by extensive rail and air networks. From the airport, our team can arrange private airport transfers to your hotel — typically a 45–60 minute drive depending on traffic. All our Delhi tour packages include private air-conditioned transport, expert local guides, and skip-the-line monument tickets.
