Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in National Capital Territory of Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

April 7, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

With stray monkeys, dogs and cows strolling the streets, you'll know you're in Dehli. Beyond these distractions, rich culture, fascinating history and architecture beckon. Temples and old moghul buildings cram crowded streets, best negotiated by motorized tut-tut or hired car and driver. Shopping bargains abound, particularly at Chandni Chowk, and restaurants favor vegetarians. Attractions include the towering Qutab Minar minaret, UNESCO World Heritage Site Lal Qila (Red Fort) and the vast Friday Mosque.

Rajpath

The grand boulevard of New Delhi is a major artery that connects the Presidential Palace and the India Gate. Leamigo Provides local experiences and professional guides in this city

Reviewed By VIPIN_GOEL_TP_Impex - New Delhi, India

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.

Hauz Khas Village

Hauz Khas village was known in the medieval period for the amazing buildings built around a reservoir and drew a large congregation of Islamic scholars and students to the Madrasa for Islamic education. Today, some of India's most prestigious institutes are situated in the neighborhood, including the Indian Institute of Technology, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. The village itself retains its old-world charm, enhanced by well-manicured green parks planted with ornamental trees all around with walk ways, and surrounded by gentrified market and residential complexes which have sprung up around the old village. The reservoir itself has been reduced in size and well landscaped with water fountains. The village structure that existed in the medieval period was modernized in mid-1980s, projecting a quiet, upscale identity that attracts tourists from all parts of the world.

Swaminarayan Akshardham

Fantastic site to visit - unimaginable architechture, great theme show, diaorama and I max presentation. If any tourist, irresepctive of his religion or creed, has half a day to spare, this is a must see. It is one man's creation in five years totally with voluntary support. A monument which makes every indian proud!

Reviewed By Go381570 - New Delhi, India

Akshardham temple is a must visit on tour to Delhi. It is built with much grandiose on the banks of river Yamuna and is a unique experience in itself both spiritually and culturally. The breathtaking architecture and sculpture, the wonderful musical water fountain and sound and light show are a must watch for the sheer brilliance with which they have been imagined, designed and built. And, the entry to the venue is very systematically orgagnised. Overall, an amazing experience.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib

Reviewed By dyne_travels - San Francisco, United States

To be fair, this was the only non-work thing I did during the business trip :) Visites this Sikh house worship in the morning as it was only ~10 min walk from the hotel. Didn't have much expectations but this place really impressed me. Foreign visitors need to go into a small room on the left of the entrace and leave shoes there. You can also borrow a scarf to cover your hair if you don't have one. The volunteer then took us on a tour of the site, starting from the kitchen where volunteers are preparing food for people who need food, to a dining room where thousands of people can dine together and then to gurudwara where you can see / listen to readings from the holy book and the holy pond. You can also taste a small portion of halwa as well. According to the volunteer, the orange flag implies that this place is open to everyone - regardless of religion and that they can also have food here. This is also true with other houses of worship around the world. When we came back to put our shoes back on, the volunteer also gave us a little booklet. There is a donation box but there's not even a mention of it. I gladly put small amount of donation and she wasn't even looking at it. Great experience accompanied by a friendly and knowledgeble volunteer. This was an amazing experience and if I get to visit again, would love to also spend some time in the kitchen.
