Things to do in New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi: The Best Historic Sites
New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

Rajpath runs from Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) through Vijay Chowk to India Gate, around 3km long. The place is the Political Power Centre where President of India residence & office , Prime Minister Office, North & South Block, Parliament House and most of the other Ministries has offices. You can not travel the whole length by car. The best way is to walk in the evening. Start from India Gate before sunset and end at Raisina Hill (President Houseand) end after dark with the view of Historic Building illuminated with colourful LED lights. On the way one can have snacks, Ice Creams, Soft Drinks etc., one can enjoy boating in the canals along the road, relax in parks on both side of Rajpath. The Republic Day Ceremony is held here on 26th January every year, the event is must watch for everyone if in New Delhi at that time. One must visit National War Memorial, India Gate and Amar Jawan Jyoti before sunset. Its a sense of national pride once you are here.

Pretty ruins of a Fort, much nicer than the red fort and surprising peaceful. For us this was the top attraction in Delhi.

The India Gate, built in 1931 and designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, was inspired by the Arc de Triomphe. It commemorates India's war dead and houses an eternal flame.
Reviewed By 744mridulm - Kerala, India
Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, India Gate is a memorial to soldiers of the British Indian Army who died in the period 1914–21 in the First World War and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. 13,300 servicemen's names, including some soldiers and officers from the United Kingdom, are inscribed on the gate. It evokes the architectural style of the triumphal arch like the Arch of Constantine, outside the Colosseum in Rome, and is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the Gateway of India located in Mumbai. In 1972, following the Bangladesh Liberation war, a small simple structure, consisting of a black marble plinth, with a reversed rifle, capped by a war helmet, bounded by four eternal flames, was built beneath the soaring Memorial Archway. This structure, called Amar Jawan Jyoti, or the Flame of the Immortal Soldier, since 1971 has served as India's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. India Gate is counted among the largest war memorials in India. Filled with hawkers, beware of pickpockets in the area. There are many supposed Photographers in the area (You might find yourself missing from the supposed postage stamps they give you). Nearby you will see the Rashtrapathi Bhavan, and the huge ground with ponds and fountains. A place where you can see the bravery, the heritage, the luxury, and the poverty of our nation (You’ll understand what I mean when you get there).
