After visiting Jama Masjid, India’ largest mosque, you’ll hop aboard a traditional pedicab—the best way to experience all the sights, sounds and aromas of the exotic spice market. Then learn about India’s cultural diversity at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, a monumental Sikh temple with a community kitchen that feeds over 35,000 people every day! Returning to your luxury hotel, we’ll take you along the famous Rajpath boulevard to see Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of India’s President.
