Presently, India is the world’s second most populated nation and one of the most significant historical capitals in the world. Delhi houses some of the first-class museums in India, beautiful gardens and parks. The wide variety of cultural attractions and events has drawn many tourists to embark on an exciting discovery journey in Delhi.

Delhi is an ancient historical city and is divided in to two parts: New Delhi and Old Delhi.

Old Delhi was the metropolis of Muslim India from the mid-17th century to the late 19th centuries. You are able to find forts, historical buildings and mosques which have a long history back in the Mughal Empire.
