Delhi :
The capital of India presents a captivating combination of ancient and modern. As a major cultural centre, Delhi offers a glimpse into the diversity of the country's many states.
Delhi offers a feast of historic sights, museums, parks, shops, cultural programmes and cuisines. It is a comfortable base from which the visitor can gather information about the country, plan itineraries and make reservations.
Strategically located between the Aravalli hills and the Yamuna river, Delhi has been the site of more than a dozen cities. It is named after an earlier settlement, "Dillika". The first of the cities was Indraprastha, legendary capital of the Pandavas, epic heroes of the Mahabharata. Recent excavations at Purana Qila (Old Fort) date the settlement to between 1st century BC and 4th century AD.
