  • Qutub Minar, New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi, India
    Our first destination is The Qutub Minar, a remarkable structure. Inspired by the Minaret of Jam in present day Afghanistan, Qutub-ud-din Aibak built the Qutub Minar to celebrate his King, Mohammad Ghori’s victory over Prithviraj Chouhan. Qutub-ud-din Aibak was a Viceroy when the construction commenced in 1199. In a remarkable turn of events, during the course of the construction he became the first Emperor of the Slave dynasty. The Qutub Minar was completed by Iltutmish in 1236.

  • Iron Pillar of Delhi, New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi, India
    The Iron Pillar is a mysterious phenomenon. Built 1600 years back through forge welding, this 24 feet pillar weights 6 tons and is made of 98% wrought iron. The biggest mystery about this pillar that over a Millenia it has escaped rust. There is only a tiny amount of rust despite the pillar witnessing the ravages of time. The purpose of the pillar is also a mystery with some believing it to be a flag staff for the King, while others say it was a sun dial. Some even believe it was originally in Madhya Pradesh and someone moved it to Delhi a thousand years ago!
    20 minutes
  • Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi, India
    Bangla Sahib is one of the most important place of worship for Sikhs. The 8th Sikh Guru, Har Kishan, had stayed here when it was the guest of Raja Jai Singh of Amber. In 1664, the Guru took care of victims of small pox and cholera in this bungalow. He too eventually became a victim of the disease and passed into the ages. Today, Bangla Sahib is on of the most popular places of worship in India.
    45 minutes
  • Swaminarayan Akshardham, New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi, India
    Akshardham is the world’s largest comprehensive Hindu temple. This marvel of modern temple architecture has more than 20000 sculptures chiseled out of pale red sandstone. The concept of this temple was evolved, inspired and developed by Pramukh Swamiji Maharaj, the present head of Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha. Often called as the spiritual cultural centre of Delhi, Akshardham was built by 7000 volunteers and 3000 artisans.

We spent two excellent days exploring Delhi with Balwinder, one of 5 Senses’ excellent cultural ambassadors. At our request the company booked some very special experiences for us—a visit to a traditional “kusti” wrestling school and a “city walk” focusing on services being provided to street children by an NGO called Salaam Baalak Trust and led by a young woman who had benefited from the program since she was abandoned by her parents at age six, and who was now in the running for a scholarship to study in the US. Quite a success story! We also did some “normal” tourism—Qutub Minar and Chandni Chowk. This was our second tour with 5 Senses—in 2020 they hosted us for three weeks in the South. It is a highly recommended operation.

We really enjoyed this tour taking in some of Delhi's awesome sights. You'll want to start early to avoid the traffic which gets really heavy in the afternoon and be ready to adapt your itinerary to avoid the traffic as the need arises. We were picked up at 8:30am from our hotel and went straight to the Qutub Minar complex which also houses the Tomb of Iltutmish and the Iron Pillar. The guide was very informative and added the right amount of information without overloading us. We had previously visited the sight 15 years ago and were pleased to see that the brightly coloured green parrots still nest in the Tomb of Iltutmish which makes great photos. The Iron Pillar is fascinating as it is so pure (98% purity) that it has never rusted and we can't achieve this level of purity with all of our modern technology... how did they do it? The next stop was at the Humayun Mausoleum which is a striking geometric building in massive grounds. When the water features are working again it will be even more impressive. You are struck by how much space and tranquility there is here outside of all of the maddening street traffic. The next stop was Aksardham which was simply amazing. Unfortunately, you cannot take a camera inside but this is the highlight of the tour. It's jaw dropping amazing and quite incredible that the ornately hand-carved stone temple has been built without structural steel within five years by 11,000 artisans and volunteers. Simply amazing and you could spend a week here taking it all in. After Aksardham we were due to see a couple of other sights and India Gate but as the traffic on New Year's Day was something else and after driving by one of the other temples and seeing a massive queue we asked our driver to drop us off near India Gate and we walked through the park which felt like over a million people had come here to celebrate New Year's Day and on to our hotel. A really enjoyable tour with a driver and guide that allow you to see double what you could do on your own as they know all of the tricks of the trade at each of the sights. Highly recommended.
