27 days in New Delhi Itinerary

Designed by notable English architects and proclaimed India's capital in 1931, New Delhi sits in the middle of a sprawling metropolitan area with a population of over 25 million.

Change things up with these side-trips from New Delhi: Noida (The Great India Place & Worlds of Wonder), Ghaziabad (Shipra Mall & Mahagun Metro Mall) and Gurugram (Gurgaon) (SMAAASH, Ambience Mall, &more). Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 11th (Fri) at Splash The Water Park. There's lots more to do: admire the landmark architecture of Qutub Minar, take in the spiritual surroundings of Jama Masjid, steep yourself in history at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, and take in nature's colorful creations at Lodhi Garden.
