Delhi

Delhi is the ideal place to start your Northern India exploration. The capital of India and a city of fascinating contrasts. A journey called Delhi takes you through the centuries with glimpses of seven older cities that existed here. The wider regional importance of Delhi strategically stems from its location on an important trade route, the uttarapatha that ran along the Gangetic plain and linked up to the Silk route.

Archaeological findings have revealed continuous cultural layers from 3rd-4thC BC to the Mughal Period, and pottery fragments that date from approximately 1000-500 BC, From Lal Kot, the 1st city of Delhi founded by the Tamar dynasty to New Delhi, the city designed by Sir Edward Lutyens and Herbert Baker which redefined the architecture and urbanism of Delhi in the process of addressing contemporary imperatives.

Delhi is without doubt, a city of international standing and significance. Diverse historical, cultural and environmental exigencies have created the city that is today recognized globally as the capital of an important developing nation.
