Private Tour: Akshardham Temple and Spiritual Sites of Old Delhi

Explore the top spiritual attractions in the walled city of Old Delhi with a private guide during this 6-hour tour. Begin the day at the surprisingly high-tech Akshardham Temple, and then go back in time at four holy sites in Old Delhi: Jama Masjid, Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib, Digambar Jain Lal Mandir and St James Church. You’ll also pass through Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s largest and oldest market, and see the Red Fort from the outside. A private vehicle provides a comfortable ride during the tour.

In the heart of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk is a busy shopping area with markets full of spices, dried fruit, silver jewelry and vivid saris, while the narrow side streets are crowded with tiny shops selling essential oils, stationery and traditional Indian sweets. Nearby, the vast Mughal-era Red Fort now houses a museum complex, and the 17th-century Jama Masjid is a huge red-sandstone mosque with towering minarets.

The Masjid e Jahan Numa, commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is one of the largest mosques in India. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan between 1650 and 1656 at a cost of one million rupees, and was inaugurated by Imam Syed Abdul Ghafoor Shah Bukhari from Bukhara, present-day Uzbekistan.

The Red Fort is a historic fort in the city of Delhi in India. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal dynasty for nearly 200 years, until 1856. It is located in the centre of Delhi and houses a number of museums.
