Overview
Old Delhi rewards walking, not driving. This tour moves on foot and by cycle-rickshaw through Chandni Chowk's lanes, into Jama Masjid, and through the spice wholesale market at Khari Baoli — the kind of density and detail a car window flattens out completely.
Highlights
- Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, built under Shah Jahan
- Cycle-rickshaw ride through the narrowest lanes of Chandni Chowk
- Khari Baoli, Asia's largest spice market, by smell as much as sight
- Street food tasting stops chosen for hygiene and flavour

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a dress code for Jama Masjid?
Shoulders and knees should be covered for both men and women; we carry a wrap if you need one. Footwear comes off before entering the courtyard.
Is Old Delhi safe and comfortable to walk through?
Yes, with a guide who knows the lanes — it is dense and can feel overwhelming on your own, which is exactly why a guided walk works better here than most places.
What's the best time of day for this walk?
Mid-morning, after the wholesale market rush but before peak afternoon heat and crowds.
