Day 1:
Delhi
Upon arrival meet our representative and transfer to the
hotel.Delhi,is the largest metropolis by area and the second-
largest metropolis by population in India. The name Delhi is
often also used to include some urban areas near the
NCT, as well as to refer to New Delhi, the capital of India, which lies within
the metropolis. The NCT is a federally administered union territory. Located
on the banks of the River Yamuna, Delhi has been continuously inhabited
since at least the 6th century BCE. After the rise of the Delhi Sultanate, Delhi
emerged as a major political, cultural and commercial city along the trade
routes between northwest India and the Gangetic plain. It is the site of many
ancient and medieval monuments, archaeological sites and remains. In 1639,
Mughal emperor Shahjahan built a new walled city in Delhi which served as
the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1649 to 1857. After the British East
India Company had gained control of much of India during the 18th and 19th
centuries, Calcutta became the capital both under Company rule and under
the British Raj, until George V announced in 1911 that it was to move back to
Delhi. A new capital city, New Delhi, was built to the south of the old city
during the 1920s. When India gained independence from British rule in 1947,
New Delhi was declared its capital and seat of government. As such, New
Delhi houses important offices of the federal government, including the
Parliament of India, as well as numerous national museums, monuments, and
art galleries.Overnight stay at hotel.
