Old Delhi: Spices, Heritage and Bazaars Walking Tour. Discover 400 year old beautiful Jama Masjid offering views of the old town.

Your guide meets you at gate no 1 of the Metro train station named "Jama Masjid Metro Station". After a quick briefing about the adventure to unfold, we start walking & discovering the 400-year-old living city called "Old Delhi" memory.

The walk begins among the historic "Meena Bazaar", once an opulent market for precious gems during the erstwhile imperial "Mughal" era, but now a makeshift market serving the most common strata of the society, where vendors are selling very budget economic materials for the common masses.

Soon we see imposing stone steps leading up to the "Jama Mosque", it is considered to be the biggest mosque of India and built by the same emperor who built the "Taj Mahal", we know him by the name "Shah Jahan"

NOTE: Visit to the mosque will be optional only and not compulsory. Entrance Fee of the "Jama mosque" is INR 450 per person. Still, those who don't want to enter the mosque, they can have a photo stop from outside

Time to delve into the Labyrinth hunting, enter into the maze of Old Delhi, while walking, discover heritage houses known as Havelis due to their traditional and heritage designs. Multiple meandering by lanes leads to many bustling and dazzling markets doing business since the imperial Mughal age. These enigmatic quarters, bathed in twilight’s allure, promise an exploration of secrets whispered through time.

Soon, we reach "SPICE MARKET" and begin our spice trails. We shall bump our way to a massive warehouse building where all the big spice merchants come, see and crack deals with the spice wholesaler merchants. Big bags of spices are cut half open for display, it results in the spices and aroma filling the air around. We soon enter one of the famous and old spice depots/storehouses for a briefing about many famed Indian spices. You will be surprised to know that, in your home country, how heavily you are paying heavily for some of the daily usage spices in your kitchen.

We then finally head back towards the nearest Metro train station / Uber point

Note: Taking too much photos is not advisable, tour is operated among the real locals, neighborhoods and their Businesses only. A couple of photos for memory will be okay, however the tour is not meant for the professional photographers.
