 Top 10 Things to do in Delhi

 

When you hear Delhi, you are reminded of the cornucopia of history, street foods, street shopping, and, obviously, the magnificent display of architecture. Located in the northern part of India, the city still celebrates its long and rich history since the Mahabharata. It was first mentioned in the Mahabharata as Indraprastha, the capital of the Pandavas, and in the Ramayana as the capital of the kingdom of Dasaratha.

The city was first founded by the Tomar dynasty in the 8th century CE. The Tomars were followed by the Chauhans, then the Delhi Sultanate, and soon replaced by the Mughal Empire. It was in 1911 when Delhi was made the capital of India until now.

The city is layered with so much ancient history and culture that you will be beguiled as to where to start from. Each lane and each house capture and celebrate history, transporting you to a bygone era. Don't worry, we've got your back and are making these trips the best they can be for you.

Indulge in Delhiā€™s street food

Indulge in Delhiā€™s street foodView Gallery - 11

 

Forget everything, the best way to start a trip in Delhi is with street food. There's something for everyone, from savoury samosas to chaat and mouthwatering jalebis. Not to mention, Delhi's momo will undoubtedly win the heart. It's not as authentic as Darjeeling momos, but this will leave you wanting more. Delhi's street food is a culinary delight, with everything from kebabs to dosas to crispy pakoras and rolls. Although the city is dotted with numerous and well-known eateries and food chains,areas such as Chawri Bazar, Connaught Place, Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid, Lajpat Nagar, and many others are brands in their own right.
