Delhi: Meals Included: Breakfast
This morning after breakfast proceed on a colonial walk of New Delhi, a city that largely owes its present-day avatar to a man named Edwin Lutyens, a man best known for adapting traditional architecture to contemporary styles. Head towards the India Gate, a monument commemorating the deaths of over 70,000 Indian soldiers in the British Forces during the World War I. Older British buildings that were used as power hubs house today’s Parliament and Secretariat.
Thereafter immerse yourself in the heritage of India with a private Rickshaw tour of Old Delhi (closed on Sunday), a stronghold of the Mughal empire. Trail through the bustling markets of Chandni Chowk, pastmonuments of every faith, to experience the sacred yet secular way of life that is so typical of India.

Pench National Park is named after a river that flows through the region, the Pench district hosts one among many patches of Central India’s forests – and the Pench National Park is a corridor for wildlife across this diverse habitat of forest and grassland. The rich biodiversity of the area had been recorded in an ancient official document of the emperor Akbar, a Mughal ruler and the park continues to support large populations of herbivores, creating a favourable environment for carnivores – the most-sought after being the Royal Bengal Tiger. Forming a continuum with the Kanha forest, Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book is often attributed to this jungle as well.
