Experience Details

This isn’t your typical Old Delhi tour — it’s a curated experience by Anas Khan, an anthropologist, history writer, and TEDx speaker who grew up in these very lanes.


Old Delhi is one of the most fascinating and layered neighborhoods in India. From its maze-like streets and sacred shrines to vibrant bazaars and centuries-old traditions, this walk gives you a front-row seat to its past, present, and pulse.


We begin near the Red Fort, then explore:

– The most secular stretch of India, where temples, mosques, churches, and gurudwaras stand side by side

– Khari Baoli, Asia’s largest spice market — a sensory overload of aroma, color, and chaos

– Forgotten Mansions and hidden alleys steeped in oral histories

– A thrilling tuk tuk ride

– And a panoramic rooftop view from Jama Masjid, the city’s spiritual heart


This walk blends heritage, food, architecture, and living culture — perfect for history lovers, photographers, solo travellers, and anyone looking to truly experience Delhi.

What You’ll Experience

1

Chandni Chowk

Discover Chandni Chowk’s unmatched diversity — a 1.5km stretch where Hindu temples, Jain derasars, mosques, churches, and gurudwaras stand side by side. This isn’t just a walk, it’s a deep dive into the spiritual and cultural fabric of Mughal-era Delhi that continues to thrive today.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
2

Khari Baoli

Step into the aromatic chaos of Asia’s largest spice market and do spice tasting. Learn about the historical spice trade routes of medieval India and how this buzzing bazaar still dominates Delhi’s wholesale economy. From turmeric to dried rose petals — every turn is a sensory overload.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
3

Old Delhi Rickshaw Ride

Hop aboard a tuk tuk time machine and ride through the beating heart of Old Delhi. We weave through centuries-old lanes where the smell of frying samosas mingles with the sound of temple bells and azaan. Every alley here holds a story — and we’re here to tell them.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
4

Naughara - Row Of Nine Houses

We stop at one of Delhi’s most photogenic and peaceful spots — a vibrant Jain temple that offers a moment of calm amid the chaos. Intricate carvings, spiritual energy, and postcard-perfect architecture make this a favourite for both reflection and reels.
30 minutesAdmission Ticket Included
5

Jama Masjid

End your walk at Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest and most beautiful mosques. A masterpiece of Mughal architecture in red sandstone and white marble, it’s not just a monument — it’s a living symbol of Old Delhi’s soul, surrounded by bazaars and stories still unfolding.
1 hourAdmission Ticket Not Included
