You will be picked up from your hotel in New Delhi in an air conditioned vehicle. Your private half day tour will showcase the New Delhi that was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911 as a symbol of British dominance over the Indian subcontinent. Today, the monuments of New Delhi are the most visible symbols of democratic India. New Delhi is a city of broad roads and tree lined avenues, with government buildings and embassies set in private gardens. Here you also find several museums and popular places of worship. Drive along Rajpath - the capital's broadest avenue. You will also see Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President's Palace, which is the official residence of the president of India. See the India Gate, a 138-foot-high, arch-shaped structure that stands at the eastern end of Rajpath. It is inscribed with the names of 85,000 Indian Army soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. Below burns the Amar Jawan Jyoti, the Eternal Flame, in tribute to all martyred soldiers of India.
