Private Tour of Old and New Delhi Including Multimedia Water Show

Discover Old and New Delhi with your own private guide that covers UNESCO World Heritage sites and narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis (traditional townhouse). In New Delhi, tick off famous sites including Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple and India Gate, and look at the Parliament House and President’s House from the outside. In Old Delhi, visit monuments such as the Jama Masjid and Raj Ghat before taking a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk Bazaar. Finally, visit the World’s Largest Akshardham Temple where you witness The Multimedia Water Show is a breathtaking 24-minute presentation.

Begin with pick-up at 9am from your desired place in Delhi, Gurugram (Gurgaon) or Noida and Visit Qutab Minar (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) ringed by intricately carved sandstone bands bearing verses from the Quran, the tower stands nearly 73m high and tapers from a 15m-diameter base to a mere 2.5m at the top.

Humayun’s Tomb (Unesco World Heritage site) – is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi. Sublimely well proportioned, seeming to float above its symmetrical gardens. It’s thought to have inspired the Taj Mahal, which it predates by 60 years.

Designed for tranquil worship, Delhi’s beautiful Lotus Temple offers a rare pocket of calm in the hectic city. It is shaped like a lotus flower, with 27 delicate-looking white-marble petals. The temple was created to bring faiths together; visitors are invited to pray or meditate silently according to their own beliefs.

This imposing 42m-high stone memorial arch was designed by Lutyens in 1921. It pays tribute to around 90,000 Indian army soldiers who died in WWI, the Northwest Frontier operations and the 1919 Anglo-Afghan War.

Rashtrapati Bhavan or President House is an official residence of the President of India. Formerly home to the British Viceroy, the President’s House has 340 rooms, with 2.5km of corridors, and it’s fascinating to take a peek inside.

This circular, colonnaded building, designed by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, was where the 1947 handover of power from Britain to the newly independent India took place, and parliament still meets here.

Explore the country’s largest mosque, built in 1656, where thousands of Muslims offer prayers. The great mosque of Old Delhi is both the largest in India, and the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees.

Wind through the labyrinthine lanes in a rickshaw (Tricycle) which gives passengers an opportunity to see a different prospective of Chandni Chowk, which is otherwise only regarded as one of the favorite shopping avenues of Delhi.

On the banks of the Yamuna River, this peaceful, very well maintained park contains a simple black-marble platform marking the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated following his assassination in 1948. This memorial is a thought-provoking spot, inscribed with what are said to have been Gandhi’s final words, Hai Ram (‘Oh, God’).

Drive past Red Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) – Founded by Emperor Shah Jahan and surrounded by a magnificent 18m-high wall, this fort took 10 years to construct (1638–48) and is rumoured to have had the decapitated bodies of prisoners built into the foundations for luck. It once overlooked the Yamuna River, which has now shrunk to some distance away.

Heralded by the Guinness World Record as the World’s Largest Comprehensive Hindu Temple, the complex was inaugurated on 6 November, 2005 and is breathtakingly lavish. Artisans used ancient techniques to carve the pale red sandstone into elaborate reliefs, including 20,000 deities, saints and mythical creatures. The centrepiece is a 3m-high gold statue of Bhagwan Shri Swaminarayan surrounded by more, fabulously intricate carvings.

Within the Akshardham temple complex evening witness The Sahaj Anand Multimedia Water Show is a breathtaking 24-minute presentation which unites a variety of intriguing media to bring to life a story from the Kena Upanishad. Multi-color lasers, video projections, underwater flames, water jets and surround sound in symphony with lights and live actors produce a captivating and inspiring presentation.
