ABOUT DELHI
Located in Northern India, Delhi which is also known as the National Capital Territory of India, is a union territory. The NCT and its urban region are designated with the special status of National Capital Region (NCR) under the Constitution of India’s 69th amendment act of 1991.
The neighboring cities like Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad and Greater Noida together form the NCR. People come to visit Delhi for its rich ancient history and popular tourist attractions like India Gate, Jantar Mantar, Akshardham Temple, Lotus Temple, Jama Masjid and World Heritage Sites like Red Fort, Qutab Minar and Humayuns Tomb.
New Delhi, India’s capital is sprinkled with glittering gems: captivating ancient monuments, magnificent museums, a vivacious performing-arts scene and some of the subcontinent’s yummiest places to eat. Delhi encapsulates two very different worlds, the old and the new and visitors can easily dip into both,
spending half the day immersing themselves in history at the dramatic Red Fort, Jama Masjid and medieval-flavored bazaars of Old Delhi, and the other half reviving themselves over frothy cappuccinos or frosty cocktails at one of New Delhi’s swanky cafes and restaurants.
Tourist Attractions: Lotus Temple, Humayun’s Tomb, IndiaGate, Akshardham Temple, PuranaQuila, QutubMinar.
