Historical Tours Around Delhi

Posted: Nov 11, 2010 |

History has always fascinated me. Love for historical monuments brought me to New Delhi, the capital of India. After arriving in the capital, I decided to explore the city on my own. I knew it would be really difficult to understand the monuments and sites on my own. Therefore I decided to go for "historical tour"—a customized tour package dedicated to cities with historical values. The package I availed was customized and included destinations in vicinity of New Delhi—exactly what I was looking for.

New Delhi is itself known for its glorious history. The Indian capital has seen various people sitting on the throne. Whether its Hindu rule or Mughals, New Delhi has seen all. And the remains of every rule, including Britishers, can be apparently seen in New Delhi. Qutab Minar, Jama Masjid Humayu Tomb, Red Fort, Makbaras and many more, Delhi has all. The central Delhi, the Lutian Zone, is a fantastic example of Anglo-Indian art. The Parliament and Rashtrapati Bhavan are great piece of art. The guide also took me to Chandni Chowk and old Delhi. The congested gullies and some hundred year old buildings reminded me the glory of the capital. One can feel the glorious past of the Indian capital in its every nook and corner.

After having explored the Indian capital, it was time to visit some prominent historical cities in the vicinity. Agra is one of the closest travel destinations from New Delhi. Though you already know this, but let me complete the formalities—Agra is renowned for Taj Mahal, also one of the wonders of the world. Made of white marbles, Taj is said to be epitome of love. I also visited Red Fort, which was huger than the Red Fort I saw in New Delhi. The fort is simply amazing. The Mughal artistry and their high-end technology to keep the then palace cool and beautiful simple amazed me. The other impressed me was respect for other religions. Red Fort has Hindu artistry as well that was especially done for Hindu queens. Fatehpur Sikri and other monuments were similarly amazing.

Delhi Agra Tour was simply amazing. The best thing about it was that short and hassle free. Agra has luxury hotels and bars so I didn't face any kind of problem. The guide also told me about Golden Triangle tour, a unique travel package that included three different cities—Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Jaipur is yet another fantastic travel destination in the vicinity of the Indian capital. Whether its Muslim monuments or Hindu forts, each one of them is absolutely great. Tourists throng this mesmerizing city all round the year. Best time to visit Jaipur is winters as it is very hot in summers. If you want to visit these cities, you should go for Golden Triangle tours.
