"People who love to Eat are the best People :)"
No travel experience is complete till you indulge in the local food! Old Delhi, which is synonyms with Chandni Chowk, is the food capital of India and if you want to enjoy the local food here, shed your high-brow attitude to soak in its flavors & delicacies. Chandni Chowk resembles a fair as its streets are lined with chaatwallahs (vendors selling a special savory snack), halwais (sweet sellers) and paranthewallahs (sellers of rich flaky breads). The aromas of good food in each and every corner is irresistible. So, come and join the celebration!
Tour is mainly conducted on Rickshaws and involves little walk. We will be sampling most of the unique items - Samosa, Bedmi Poori, Jalebi, Chaats, Kulfi, Gulab jamun, masala chai. Apart from sampling some amazing food, our food enthusiast (guide), briefs you about the city and its rich tradition, with the help of wireless audio headsets. Extreme care is taken regarding hygiene and safety.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Red Fort
We could not find few places on Google map and therefore could not include them in the list of attractions here, as they are Hidden :)! Red Fort is a UNESCO world heritage site. It was built by Mughal Emperor ShahJahan in 1648. It’s a beautiful grand palace cum fort. Today it is the largest non-functional fort in the world. During the War of Independence of 1857, the British army demolished more than 75 percent of the fort. However the remaining structures still reflect the technical excellence of the craftsmen of Mughal times. The Red Fort is still a beautiful link between the past and the present. Every year on Independence Day (Aug 15) the prime minister of India address the nation and hosts the national flag from here. We do not go inside the fort as it takes almost half a day to see its different palaces and gardens. We will be showing it to you from outside along with some rare old and new pictures
Sri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir
There were 4 religions which were born in India – Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism & Sikhism. Buddhism and Jainism are quite similar. Both these religions were originated around 599 BC. Both these religions follow the path of non violence towards all living beings. Jains are very environment friendly people and they don’t want to disturb the plants. This is the oldest temple of the Jain religion in the capital. It has ornate interiors of gold & silver. The main idol in the temple is that of Lord Parshvanath. The place is very peaceful and the ambience is really soothing. There is a bird hospital in the Jain temple premises founded in 1956 on the Jain principle of aversion to killing. Inside the birds hospital there is a research center, intensive care units, general wards and a place where they teach the birds to fly. At any point – 3000-5000 birds are in the hospital and around 60 birds are admitted per day.
Chandni Chowk
Chandni chowk street is a heart of old Delhi. Chandni means moonlight and chowk means square, hence it is called the moonlight square. The street is the most secular street of India. Whenever we talk about secular harmony, this street is the topmost example. So many temples of different religions coexist together peacefully. It had a canal running down the center and pools at major intersections reflecting the moonlight. Today, in spite having witnessed some of the most brutal historical events, we can see some beautiful facades. During the trip, one still see the facades of the old buildings and can imagine how beautiful this place must have been during those days.
