Overview
The 7th city of Delhi is like a maze, but the catch is you will always find something delicious to eat in these lanes. Recipes handed down over the years will attract you with their aroma and make you impatient to try these snacks.
Experience the gastronomy of Old Delhi with your fellow mates. Just one bite, and you will get addicted. When the day ends, the craving is so intense that you might have withdrawal effects, just kidding!
Start with ‘chaats’ that will make you lick your fingers if you decide to eat with your hand; hence we recommend a spoon (awkward pause). The term ‘chaat’ literally translates to ‘to lick’, the action after a plate of paani poori, papdi chaat. KFC, you are four centuries late to the party!
Chaat is just the beginning, but we will also experience desserts, beverages, parathas and many more.
Along with food, learn about the rich history as you pass by the age-old structures overlooking the streets of Old Delhi.

What to expect

Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib
40 min
Located in the heart of Chandni Chowk, Delhi’s most popular marketplace, Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib is a historical shrine as it marks the exact site wherein 1675 Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, was mercilessly beheaded on orders by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb
The Sis Ganj Gurudwara is built in the Mughal architectural style with mesh-work windows, pavilions & parapets all in sandstone instead of the usual white marble like the other Gurudwaras. It is known to have served as a Mosque & a Gurudwara alternating itself owing to the sensitive political climate for a long time before finally being converted into a full-fledged Gurudwara with Gold-Gilded Domes In 1930.
It has a separate building that serves as the Langar (free kitchen) as well as accommodation for visitors & the homeless. It also houses relics from the Guru’s life, such as the well from where he drank while in prison there & the trunk of the tree under which he was executed. -
Pasar Chandni Chowk
3 hours
The original Chandni Chowk, a half-moon-shaped square, was located in front of the Municipal Townhall and its reflection used to shine in the moonlit water pool in front of it. A shallow water channel was built from the Yamuna river, which ran through the middle of the straight road, known as the Chandani Chowk bazaar, with roads and shops on either side of the channel. This road had three bazaars. Chandni Chowk, or the Moonlight Square, and its three bazaars were designed and established by Princess Jahanara Begum, Shah Jahan's favourite daughter, in 1650 CE.

Khari Baoli
45 min
Khari Baoli is a street in Delhi, India is known for its wholesale grocery and Asia's largest wholesale spice market selling a variety of spices, nuts, herbs and food products like rice and tea.
-
Naughara - Row Of Nine Houses
30 min
The name Naughara literally translates to nine (nau) homes (ghar), though one conflicting source argues for nine pots (ghara) of water kept out for thirsty travellers. Whatever the origin, Naughara remains one of the most charming galis of Shahjahanbad, more so because the quiet gated neighbourhood is entered through the bustling market street of Kinaari (trimmings and decorations) Bazaar. At the end of the lane is the white-marble clad entrance to the c. 19th century Jain Swetamber Mandir, where bursts of colour are provided by the exotic glass work and brilliant paintings. Try not to get fleeced by the temple attendant, and on your way out of the gali, peek into the office of Mr. Atma Ram Agarwal, so chockful of antiques that we first mistook it for a shop!
