7 days in New Delhi Itinerary

Designed by notable English architects and proclaimed India's capital in 1931, New Delhi sits in the middle of a sprawling metropolitan area with a population of over 25 million.

Head to People Tree and Connaught Placefor some retail therapy. Your inner history buff will appreciate Humayun's Tomb and Akshardham. Change things up with these side-trips from New Delhi: Zipline (in Gurugram (Gurgaon)) and Climbing Tours (in Leh). Spend the 2nd (Wed) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. There's lots more to do: contemplate the long history of India Gate, have some family-friendly fun at Barney's Den, step into the grandiose world of Red Fort, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.
