Next Visit : India Gate At the centre of New Delhi stands the 42 m high India Gate, an "Arc-de-Triomphe" like archway in the middle of a crossroad. Almost similar to its French counterpart, it commemorates the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army during the World War I.

The main gate, Lahore Gate, is one of the emotional and symbolic focal points of the modern Indian nation and attracts a major crowd on each Independence Day And More Attractions After the tour, you will be dropped off at Delhi Airport (DLI), Delhi Junction Railway Station, Bus Station, or your hotel in Delhi.
