Day 02: Delhi

Following a leisurely breakfast, we cross the city and into the walled gates of the Old city we will visit the Jamma Masjid (1650) - the largest mosque in India with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees. It was begun in 1644 and ended up being the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who also built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort. Later, we will drive through the the fabled area of Chandni Chowk (aptly translates to Moonlight Square) where the throngs of shoppers and vendors meet in the oldest area of Delhi.

This amazing ride will take you through the narrow alleys, markets buzzing with people going through their daily chores, shops being decorated for daily business and pavement shops selling wares of all description - including a laughing set of dentures.
