Chandni Chowk, the busiest market in Old Delhi…noisy, chaotic and uniquely Indian. You will then drive

Ganesh, and the stunning Sheesh Mahal, a hall decorated with thousands of tiny mirrors. Later, stop to

photograph the beautiful Hawa Mahal, also known as the “Palace of the Winds.” This beautiful façade

with its ornately carved latticework windows was designed so the ladies of the palace could look out

onto the streets unobserved. Later you will visit the City Palace… again, a synthesis of Rajasthani and

Mughal styles. The museums here showcase rare and ancient manuscripts, arms dating back to the 15th

century, and costumes of erstwhile royalty. Later, visit the Jantar Mantar Observatory, comprising
