Highlights
  • Purana Qila - You will be picked up from your hotel and driven to Purana Qila or Old Fort.
    Get transported back in time as you climb up the ramparts of the fort and cast your eyes on the verdant green expanse intermingling with the ruins of an era gone by.

  • Feroz Shah Kotla - Next visit Feroz Shah Kotla. Built in the latter half of the 14th century by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq, this is the 5th city of Delhi. Believed to be haunted by Djinns (ghosts), the sprawling ruins of this fort contain remains of palaces, mosques, a stone pillar from the Ashokan era and an ancient step-well.

Take a break for lunch (own expense) at a local restaurant.

  • Safdarjung’s Tomb - After lunch, drive to the tomb of Safdarjung. It is a beautiful building made of marble and sandstone and dates back to the 14th century. It is the last garden tomb built in the architectural style of the Mughals. It was built in memory of Safdarjung, the prime minister of the Mughal Emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur.

  • Lodhi Garden - End your tour with a visit to the Lodhi Gardens. This sprawling garden in the heart of the city contains several archaeological finds from the 15th century. Notable among these are the tombs of Mohammad Shah and Sikander Lodhi, Shisha Gumbad and Bara Gumbad.

Loved this tour a little off the main tourist route! - On December 4th we joined the pocket dynamo tour leader, Karjl for a morning only tour which included some of the places listed. We visited Urgesen ki bola step well; Lodhi colony; Sunder nursery and Mehraulli archaelogical park. It was an excellent few hours and we loved it especially as it took us off the usual tourist route a bit. The step well was amazing, the other sites very beautiful and full of history and we loved the street art! Karjl was full of enthusiasm and her bright, cheerful personality made the tour lots of fun! Hats off to Urban Adventure Tours as we did two trips with them that day and both ere excellent! Highly recommend this company!
