New Delhi was planned by Sir Edwin Lutyen’s, who laid out a

grandiose central administrative area as a testament to British

imperial pretensions.

Delhi was established between 900 B.C and 1930. Delhi's famous

"seven cities" range from the 12th century Quila Rai Pithora, built by

Prithviraj Chauhan, to the imperial Shajahanabad, constructed by the

Mughals in the 17th century.

Of the many attractions in Delhi, the major sites are the Rashtrapati

Bhawan designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as the British Viceroys Palace,

Shahajahanabad (Old Delhi) where the Red Fort is, or Jama Masjid in

the famed Chandni Chowk in the heart of Old Delhi.

and contemporary sophistication. Located close to the city centre

near business, commercial and shopping districts, the luxury hotel

interesting blend of Mughal and western architectural styles, the most

obvious Indian feature being the huge copper dome. To the west of

the building is a Mughal garden, which occupies 130 ha. This garden is

only open to the public in February. Prior to independence this was

the viceroy’s residence.

Agrasen ki Baoli: Agrasen ki baoli has unique structure which is quite

different from the traditional round shape. It has three levels where

each level has an arched area, which was used as a resting place. The

center of the well has water and the water is also linked to a well dug

in a covered platform. The gallery and chambers surrounded walls of

Agrasen ki baoli are carved profusely.

Humayun’s Tomb: Humayun's tomb is a complex of buildings built as

the Mughal Emperor Humayun's tomb, commissioned by Humayun's

wife Hamida Banu Begum in 1562. It was the first garden-tomb on the

that they offer. The old city shares an intimate relationship with food

served sumptuously garnished with culinary secrets that have been

passed down through generations.

Spice Market: Khari Baoli is a street in Old Delhi known for its

Agra Fort. For many years through the Mughal rule, especially during

renovated and reworked extensively with marble and pietra dura

inlay. Notable buildings in the fort include the Diwan-e-Am and

Diwan-e-Khas (halls of public and private audience), Jehangir's Palace,

Khaas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (mirrored palace), and Musamman Burj. A

Tonga ride to Agra Fort is pure fun.

hills, the Ranthambhore National Park boasts a spectacular landscape

filled with boulder-strewn highland plateaus, lakes and rivers - dotted

with old forts and abandoned mosques - creating a wonderful

atmosphere for both bird and mammal viewing. Ranthambhore is

perhaps most famous for being one of the original 'Project Tiger'

reserves and it still affords one of the best opportunities anywhere in

India of seeing a tiger. At the centre of the park lay the ruins of the

10th to 16th century Ranthambhore Fort which dominates the leafy

forests from its perch atop a dramatic rocky outcrop.

Ranthambhore is one of India’s finest examples of dry deciduous

forest interspersed with grassland. It is where geographical zones

merge and it is possible to see the tigers from the overhead area. The

entire forest has scattered battlements & spillovers of the

Ranthambhore Fort, where tigers are said to frequent the ruins.

Ranthambhore was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and was also

one of the original project Tiger reserves. The mammalian diversity of

the park mirrors its significance as a premier conservation site-apart

from its flagship attraction, the forest is home to the leopard and the

sloth bear, the jackal, hyena among the carnivores, besides a wide

variety of ungulates, the most prominent of which are the Nilgai, and

the majestic Sambar. Ornithologists have no cause for complaint

either-the reserves woods and lakes shelter over 250 species birds

making it an important bird sanctuary in its own right.

Easily the most visible of these, is the plucky rufous treepie, which is

famous for its catwalks on top of safari jeeps and vans. Other

fascinating water-birds such as the painted stork and the purple heron

can be seen in large numbers along the parks many lakes and water-

bodies. The crested serpent eagle and the fishing eagle are among the

raptors that top of the avian hierarchy.
