Delhi is a wonderful place especially for tourists. To plan your visit properly, you must make a list of things you have to see and do. For most part, you can see the wonderful buildings and the tombs of the Mughal and Khilji rulers. Since there are some any things to see, one should determine which ones are of interest to them personally.
Places of tourist interest
One can include the trip to Bahai Lotus Temple with a trip to Dilli Haat and the Qutub Minar. Or you can plan a trip to the grand temples of India. The former includes a full day excursion where you see the architectural wonders of the world. After this, you go and do some sightseeing in the Dilli Haat bazaar with its handicrafts and exquisite cuisine.
The Bahai Temple is called Lotus Temple by the locals. The Qutub Minar stands 238 feet tall, and is the tallest minaret in all of India. Humayun’s Tomb is also a UNESCO Heritage site.
Most of all in the private tour Delhi, you see the cultural splendour and rich heritage of the Mughal period in the various buildings. These were built by the Emperor Shahjahan in 1638 A.D.
