5 Nights Punjab – Himachal

Itinerary –

Shimla༽Chandigarh༽Amritsar

6 Days Trip

Day 1 :

Delhi

On the first day of your arrival at Delhi Airport/ Station, you will be transferred to your stay. Delhi bridges two different worlds, New & Old Delhi, once a capital of rulers & emperors of Indian subcontinent. A labyrinth of havelis, formidable temples & mosques covers Old allies of Delhi. In contrast, the New Delhi is covered with tree-lined avenues & quite spacious.

Delhi served as the seat of power for several empires for about a millennium. It was built & destroyed several times. A fascinating fact is that many rulers played a dual role in Delhi as they first came as destroyers, then settled or contributed for rebuilding this ancient node.

If time permits, you can do a half day sightseeing of Old Delhi.

Day 2 :
