My trip has a mix of Culture, Religion, Foodies & Entertainment.

9AM : Starting off by paying homage to the God's at the Iskcon temple. The prasad along with other snacks would be a good & light breakfast.

10AM : Next we proceed to Qutub Minar and its time to take a lot of selfies at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

11.30AM :Next destination to the India Gate, don't forget to tell your driver to point out the Red fort, Parliament House.

12.30PM After visiting these historic monuments its time to get a taste of some authentic Delhi food at Chandni Chowk. Gobble up some chaat and gol gappas for starters. Head to the Parantha Galli for authentic paranthas with pickle , curd & dal. Beware, its a bit too high on calories though. And a lunch can never be over without a dessert at Nirula's which you shall find in every area (for us the one at Chandni chowk is closest)

Post lunch, next stop is Jantar Mantar, the magic of Indian ancient science. Be thrilled and enjoy.

Around 3.30PM : After all the historic sightseeing and overload of food, its time to head to something different. Lets head to the Kingdom of Dreams in Gurgaon, a perfect entertainment for all ages. This fabulous Kingdom brings to life a blend of India's art, culture, heritage, craft , cuisine & performing art all with the technological wizardry of today. 

All the destinations are connected with Metro, most convenient, fast and very light on the pocket.

Starting the day paying homage to the God's is the true Indian style. The atmosphere is very enchanting & peaceful at the same time. Secondly, I just love the prasad they distribute here. Just can't help asking for a second helping.
This 73 metre monument is a UNESCO World Heritage Site is the second tallest Minar in India & is a treat to watch, though now it is not permitted to climb the steps as there have been instances of suicides. Made of sandstone & marble its a good spot to click many selfies.
Pay homage to the valiant martyrs at this All India War Memorial, India Gate. It is compared to Arc de Triomphe in Paris. A quick drink or icecream is always possible at the various stalls around.
Feeling hungry....I guess. Time for the famous Chaats & Gol gappas at Chandni chowk. Beware, ask them to spice it as per your taste. Proceed to Parantha gali to enjoy the endless varieties of Parathas served with pickle, curd & dal. And its Dessert time, what can beat the famous Nirulas. Order a sundae or a shake, its all awesome.
Just love to know how our ancestors kept a watch on the time, the longest/shortest days & the seasons.
Just love the performance here. A showcase of Indian art, culture brought out on the stage in the most upbeat way. Can't miss this one. Book in advance to get the best seats as it may get too expensive later.
