Itinerary
1
Chandni Chowk
Discover Chandni Chowk’s unmatched diversity — a 1.5km stretch where Hindu temples, Jain derasars, mosques, churches, and gurudwaras stand side by side. This isn’t just a walk, it’s a deep dive into the spiritual and cultural fabric of Mughal-era Delhi that continues to thrive today.
30 minutes
2
Khari Baoli
Step into the aromatic chaos of Asia’s largest spice market and do spice tasting. Learn about the historical spice trade routes of medieval India and how this buzzing bazaar still dominates Delhi’s wholesale economy. From turmeric to dried rose petals — every turn is a sensory overload.
30 minutes
3
Old Delhi Rickshaw Ride
Hop aboard a tuk tuk time machine and ride through the beating heart of Old Delhi. We weave through centuries-old lanes where the smell of frying samosas mingles with the sound of temple bells and azaan. Every alley here holds a story — and we’re here to tell them.
30 minutes
4
Naughara - Row Of Nine Houses
We stop at one of Delhi’s most photogenic and peaceful spots — a vibrant Jain temple that offers a moment of calm amid the chaos. Intricate carvings, spiritual energy, and postcard-perfect architecture make this a favourite for both reflection and reels.
30 minutes
5
Jama Masjid
End your walk at Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest and most beautiful mosques. A masterpiece of Mughal architecture in red sandstone and white marble, it’s not just a monument — it’s a living symbol of Old Delhi’s soul, surrounded by bazaars and stories still unfolding.
