New Delhi, India

The impact that arrive in New Delhi is not little. The human tide of a city with more than 14 million people can be intimidating at first contact.

The Indian capital shows two distinct worlds: on one hand, New Delhi, stronghold of the British colony and Old Delhi.

The best place to start the visit for newcomer travelers is the city itself, especially for the Connaught Place, a lively commercial area filled with bazaars. Also we will find the India Gate, Memorial to the fallen in the First World War. Nearby stands the Parliament and other government buildings as well as several important museums: the National Gallery, the Modern Art National Museum and the Craft Museum.

On the banks of Yamuna River, and from the Gateway of India monuments stand tribute to prominent Indian leaders. Eternal flame located at the Shanti Vana (Forest of Peace) indicates where he was cremated the body of Mahatma Gandhi. This place, known as the Raj Ghat, is the most visited monument in the country.

Other important monuments are the tombs of Humayun, and the majestic temple Qub Minar, a minaret which stands over 70 meters high.

In Old Delhi, the old town, stands the Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in all of India, built, like the Taj Majhal by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Every night except Monday, recreates the history of India through a colorful light show.
