Delhi is a city with a plethora of visual experiences to offer, from glorious monuments belonging to the past to new and upcoming urban sites. Even though each corner of the city is a place with its own story worth capturing. Capturing the essence of Delhi from behind the lens, we will share and explore the city, which comes packed with several fascinating experiences, that makes it the ultimate destination for photography. Delhi has something for everyone, but knowing where to go and what to look for comes with its own set of challenges. This is where role of our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide becomes vital. It is this uncertainty in the familiarity that adds a characteristic appeal to the city and gives it a distinct identity. Delhi is nevertheless a mismatch of personalities. And yet, no matter where we come from, in the end, we all become Delhiites. “Delhi is a perfect “Melting Pot” in terms of people not only coming together from various sections of the country but from all over the world.

Spots and activities:

Chandni Chowk: India is known for chaos and Chandni Chowk is a perfect representation of how chaotic the streets can get here. Chandni Chowk has been around for centuries and you can feel it while exploring through the chaos.

Nizamuddin West: is the neighbourhood surrounding the Dargah (mausoleum) of one of the Sufi saints. The Dargah complex itself has plenty to explore, while the surrounding market streets are always full of life.

Khari Baoli spice market: Men sit in tiny, dimly lit, tiled alcoves with all manner of spices and ruby red chillies laid out in front of them, spilling from the top of open hessian sacks. Some of them bark orders to the labourers that move bags of leaves and spices from stall to stall, heaving them up onto enormous weighing scales. Others huddle in groups, gossiping and playing cards in clouds of cigarette smoke, crumpled roll-ups clenched between their teeth. Some are fast asleep. Khari Baoli is home to Asia’s largest spice market and the Gadodia Market building is the epicentre. The piles of colourful, fragrant spices are perfect for adding a splash of colour to your Instagram feed, but like with Chandni Chowk, the best photos you can take here are of people, specifically the spice porters working away in the bustle of the market.
