This isn’t your typical Old Delhi tour. It’s a curated experience by Anas Khan, an anthropologist, history writer, and three-time TEDx speaker who grew up in these very lanes.
Old Delhi is one of the most fascinating and layered neighbourhoods in India. From its maze-like streets and sacred shrines to vibrant bazaars, historic food traditions, this walk gives you a front-row seat to its past, present, and pulse.
We begin near the Red Fort, then explore:
– One of India’s most remarkable multi-faith streets, where temples, mosques and churches stand within the same neighbourhood
– A Sikh gurudwara and its community kitchen, where you can witness the tradition of meals being prepared for hundreds of people
– Khari Baoli, one of Asia’s largest spice markets.
– A thrilling tuk-tuk ride through the narrow streets of the old city.
It is an exploration of Old Delhi through its history, food and faith, perfect for curious travellers who want to understand Delhi rather than simply see it.
