Uncover Delhi’s History Through These Places

Delhi is the salmagundi of all you can think of- shopping kiosks to food stalls, furniture shops to street market curios, there is no dearth of places you can visit in Delhi. With so many activities to do and places to go, how can you ever be bored? Here is what Tripbeam has compiled for travelers who are booking flights to India from Canada so they can enjoy Delhi like a local would, with the best of experiences at totally affordable rates.

Visit Humayun’s Tomb

Though it sounds macabre, it is anything but. This is a stunning blend of Indian architecture with Persian finesse that makes Humayun’s Tomb so enchanting. Surrounded by Mughal Gardens symmetrically on all sides, this is the first garden tomb in India. Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this place has attracted many visitors over the years and continues to do so.

Go to Hazrat Nizamuddin to listen to qawwali

Made famous after its feature in the popular Bollywood movie, Rockstar, Hazrat Nizamuddin is the tomb of Nizamuddin Auliya along with Amir Khusro and Jahan Ara Begum among others. You can easily find Sufi devotees here because in the courtyards of this Dargah, melodious tunes of instruments and live qawwali singers resonate within the walls to bring you that heavenly tranquility. Let your eyes close as you immerse yourself in the music and become one with your deity.

Bargain your way out of Sarojini Nagar

One of the only places in India where you can buy clothes starting from a mere Rs. 50. Sarojini Nagar is the market for all things fashionable and trendy. You do need to have mad bargaining skills to get the best prices out of the shopkeepers though. Our advice, do not buy everything from one shop. Roam and search every stall here as it is likely that the item you liked in the first shop is sold for a lesser price in the third and fourth shop you visit.

Book international flights to India with Tripbeam, and you can visit Sarojini Nagar of Delhi via a taxi.

Shop India’s best crafts at Dilli Haat

At Dilli Haat, you can spot home décor, clothes and accessories, shoes, handbags and jewelry, along with handicrafts from all over India, not just in Delhi. This is why you can always find this place brimming with people. And, did we mention that the food stalls here are from all over India as well? Oh well, now that we did, go ahead and indulge the foodie in you to all kinds of tasty snacks and treats found across India.

Walk your way in Sunder Nursery

Who just goes for a walk nowadays? Not to worry, as this is not just any regular walk. On this walk, you can spot more than 300 species of trees, 40 butterfly species and 80 species of birds among so much more. This park is adjacent to Humayun’s Tomb and you can see it highlights Mughal monuments and water features. This is best suited for all nature and health enthusiasts.

Eat up in the Gully of Purani Dilli

The lanes of Old Delhi offer great scrumptious food ready to be devoured. However, the best among them have to be the kebab skewers which are brushed up with butter after marinating and roasted in live coal fire tandoors. The freshly roasted smell is sure to make your belly hungry for more, even when it isn’t.
