See the top sight and attractions in New Delhi with this fascinating half-day tour of the Indian capital. View the imposing India Gate, the vast parliament building and the presidential palace. Admire the Qutab Minar tower and the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque and visit the awe-inspiring Humayun mausoleum, the forerunner of the Taj Mahal. Begin your Delhi delight with a drive along the area known as ‘Lutyens's Delhi’ after Edwin Lutyens, the architect who designed the city’s new monumental government district a century ago. See the grandiose Rashtrapati Bhawan, the 340-room palace built for the viceroys of India, which is now the residence of the president of India. Lutyens’s blend of classical and Mughal elements has resulted in a style known as the Delhi order. Continue along the Rajpath and see the India Gate, a triumphal arch designed by Lutyens to commemorate fallen soldiers. See also the vast, circular Indian parliament, which also bears the hallmark of Lutyens. Leave Lutyens's Delhi and explore the old parts of New Delhi with a visit to the site of the 73 metre-high Qutab Minar, the tallest stone tower in India. Qutub-ud-din Aibak, the first sultan of Delhi, had it built in 1193 and razed 27 Hindu temples to use their columns.
