Description

Discover the Bahá'í Temple of the Lotus, the Lodi Gardens, the Tomb of Humayun, and the Hindu Temple of Akshardham on a private tour of Delhi.
Explore the Lotus and Akshardham Temples, Lodhi Garden, and Humayun Tombs on a private tour from Delhi. Discover the history of these iconic sites and enjoy free time for lunch or a rickshaw ride.

After being collected from your hotel in Delhi, head towards the celebrated Temple of the Lotus. This Bahá'í place of worship stands out for its peculiar similarity to a flower. Learn why this specific architecture was chosen.

Next, visit the bucolic Lodi Gardens. This is Delhi’s large green lung and the intoxicating aroma from the flowers accompanies you as you discover the different mausoleums that adorn the park.

The Tomb of Humayun is located very close to the gardens. During your visit to this majestic monument, declared a World Heritage Site, learn intriguing facts about the 16th-century Moghul Emperor who the tomb is named after.

Have approximately an hour to yourself for lunch or to enjoy a rickshaw ride. After eating, travel to the Hindu Temple of Akshardham. Despite being a modern construction (inaugurated in 2005), it currently constitutes one of the principle attractions of Delhi due to its colossal elephant sculptures, the fountain displays, and sculptured columns.

Begin your journey back to your hotel in Delhi.
