Delhi Tourism, this city be it
its heritage, the art and crafts, the diverse
cuisine and culture.
A symbol of the country’s rich past and thriving
present, Delhi is a city where ancient and
modern blend seamlessly together. It is a place
that not only touches your pulse but even
fastens it to a frenetic speed. Home to millions
of dreams, the city takes on unprecedented
responsibilities of realizing dreams bringing
people closer and inspiring their thoughts.
Just a century ago, the British moved the seat
of their empire from Kolkata to Delhi. And it
has been the Capital of India ever since. Now a
thriving, cosmopolitan metro, the city has much
to celebrate as it has already reached the
milestone of completing 100 years as a Capital.
With a history that goes back many centuries,
Delhi showcases an ancient culture and a rapidly
modernising country. Dotted with monuments there
is much to discover here. The seat of many
powerful empires in the past, its long history
can be traced in its many carefully-preserved
monuments, ancient forts and tombs.
All this is combined with the best features of a
modern city such as a metro system, bustling
markets and fabulous eating places. The past and
the present meld seamlessly together, making
centuries-old monuments a part of the city’s
daily life. Delhi is very much a history’s
child. The story of the city is as old as the
epic Mahabharata, when the town was known as
Indraprastha, where Pandavas used to live. Over
the centuries, eight more cities came alive
adjacent to Indraprastha: Lal Kot, Siri,
Dinpanah, Quila Rai Pithora, Ferozabad,
Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad and Shahjahanabad. Many
empires rose to the heights of their power and
were destroyed here. Among the prominent
dynasties which made Delhi their capital were
the Tughlaqs, the Khiljis and the Mughals.
Even today, one can have a fascinating glimpse
into the past in Old Delhi, with its labyrinth
of narrow lanes, old havelis, and colourful
bazaars. Rickshaws wind their way through this
crowded, bustling capital of the Mughals, where
life continues, much as it did hundreds of years
ago. It is home to three World Heritage
monuments—Qutub Minar, Red Fort and Humayun’s
Tomb that have survived many centuries, and give
an idea of architectural wonders created by
emperors in the past. Central Delhi, with its
tree-lined avenues, imposing structures and
buildings such as the Rashtrapati Bhavan,
Parliament House and India Gate, reflect Delhi’s
colonial past. A number of museums provide a
glimpse into the country’s fascinating history.
But the modern Delhi has a lot more to offer.
Delhi has a modern, well-planned and extensive
Metro network that connects all corners of
Delhi; this network is still growing. New
roadways and flyovershave improved connectivity,
the latest of which is the Signature Bridge, an
ambitious project of Delhi Tourism, which is
under construction at Wazirabad – it promises to
be a landmark.
New malls and entertainment centres jostle for
space with a growing number of brand new
hospitals, residential complexes, and sporting
facilities. Delhi is now a dream destination for
those seeking expert medical attention and
superior OPD and IPD facilities. Thanks to the
advent of the Commonwealth Games, there are
world-class stadia like the revamped Nehru
Stadium that can be accessed by one and all,
throughout the year. All of this has been
developed and sustained while maintaining
Delhi’s green cover, a unique feature that
distinguishes this truly global metropolis from
other cities in the world where the tree line is
subdued by skyscrapers.
Besides the Metro, which connects all of Delhi’s
landmarks to the city centre as well as most
suburbs, the new, a fun way to explore Delhi is
by booking a HOHO bus tour. Hop on- Hop off
buses, better known as HO – HOs, have been
introduced by Delhi Tourism for visitors who
wish to tour the city in a single day. With so
many transport options, visitors now have the
ability to go wherever they want – and there are
a lot of places to see and a lot of things to do
here. There are the age old-yet-perfectly
preserved, sprawling heritage complexes
featuring architecture from the Mughal and
Tughlaq periods.
The revamped Indira Gandhi International
airport, now Terminal 3, provides visitors with
their first experience of a modern, world-class
city which is keeping pace with the best in the
world. Terminal 3, from where international and
many domestic carriers operate, has facilities
which are on par with the world’s most modern
airports. The Airport Metro Express, which takes
one to the rail station in the heart of the
city, in just 17 minutes, provides easy
connectivity for visitors. Whether you are
travelling to Old Delhi, to Connaught Place or
to Dilli Haat, the metro provides an easy way of
getting around the city. |
