After breakfast at hotel, meet your guide and proceed for guided tour Delhi.
Start with the older part of Delhi. Visit Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, built of red sandstone and white marble in the middle of the 17th century. This great mosque of Old Delhi is the largest in India, with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees. It was begun in 1644 and ended up being the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. Please wear appropriate clothes covering full arms and legs.
The highly decorative mosque has three great gates, four towers and two 40 m-high minarets constructed of strips of red sandstone and white marble. For the visit inside, we hire robes at the northern gate. This may be the only time you get to dress like a local without feeling like an outsider so make the most of it.
Board cycle rickshaws and travel through Chandni Chowk, once the imperial avenue down which Shah Jehan rode at the head of lavish cavalcades, today bustling with shops, stalls and silversmiths' ateliers.
Cross the main road to get Red fort side. See/Photograph the Red Fort from outside, built in 1648 during the reign of Shah Jehan in red sandstone, which gave the fort its name.
Later Visit for Sikh temple situated at central Delhi and named as Gurudwara SISGANJ Sahib.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
