Comprising of two contrasting yet harmonious parts, the Old Delhi and New Delhi, the city is a travel hub of Northern India.

Diverse cultural elements which the city has been absorbing since ages have enriched it. Delhi is dotted with monuments all of which stand testimony to its illustrious past. It is an amalgam of ruins of medieval architecture and ever expanding concrete jungles.
