Delhi is an incredible destination! It opens your eyes with a wealthy culture and diversity. Its unique history and history and heritage pull you to visit it. It contains more than 17 million people with different religions, race, color and caste but they all are band in a one thread. You can find a great unity with a huge diversity. Likewise, the local tradition, culture also changes by over one state to another. It is the city that cannot be explained, it must be experience. It will provide you a plenty of things to do. There is something for everyone in Delhi, weather you want to relax, explore, scare yourself, or disappear and back pack for an unknown amount of time. No matter what you are, Delhi has it. It is a great combination for adventure. It is a very worth wile place to visit. Its monuments are the most attractive part of tourism such as India Gate, Red Fort, Kutub Minar and Lotus Temple. You will get a virtual experience of my city through my inside tour guide of Delhi.

Place to Visit

India Gate: If you want to enjoy the Indian history and architecture, so India Gate is only for you. India Gate is the national monument of India that was built in the memories of Indian/British Indian soldiers (82000), who lost their life foe inside in World War 1 to save the prominence of the mighty empire. This is very charming area with well surrounded by lush green lawns. You will always feel positive energy there especially if you visit at night in colorful floodlights. It is also one of the most visited picnics in Delhi. It opens always 24 hours. 

Ambience mall:  It is the biggest mall of my city. The major attractive factor is that each floor is a kilometer long. It is the best shopping destination because it is inexpensive and it contains all brands from all over the world so it can be a great experience for shopping lovers. Ambience has been everything a tourist is looking for if has 20 good restaurants, 10 PVR cinema center, beer garden, bowling alley, Recreational Zone, kids play zone, coffee shops and simulated golf course. For me, the most excited and unique things about this mall are that we can enjoy ice skating inside the mall. 

Kingdom of dreams:  It is India’s first live entertainment theater and leisure destination. There are two sections in the first section, you can enjoy the biggest Bollywood live show Zangoora (it is the story of a Gypsy prince who fight for his love and kingdom). In the second section, you can enjoy India’s fourteen state of culture in 1 lake square feet area. You can enjoy India food, dance music, and handicraft.

Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architectural a style that combines elements from Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish and Indian architectural styles.

Red Fort of Agra: Within a radius of 3 kilometers, on the banks of the river Yamuna raises the crescent-like Agra Fort. Designed and built by Akbar in 1565.A.D. the fort is surrounded by a 70-foot high wall. It houses the beautiful Pearl Mosque and numerous palaces including the Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Khas, Diwan-i-Am and Moti Masjid.
