Upon arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3, you will be greeted by our guest relations executive holding a placard with your name. They will assist you to your car and ensure a smooth transfer to your pre-booked hotel.

Welcome to Delhi, the capital of India! This city has been continuously inhabited since the 6th century BCE and has served as the capital for various kingdoms and empires throughout history. Delhi beautifully blends the historic charm of Old Delhi with the modern vibrancy of New Delhi. From ancient monuments to bustling shopping malls, and from a modern metro system to charming Tuk Tuk rides, Delhi, affectionately known as “Dilli,” is a city with a heart and multiple personalities.

In the afternoon, you’ll visit Agrasen Ki Baoli, an ancient water reservoir that rises from the depths of the earth to stand atop 103 stone steps. Hidden amidst the business towers and residential apartments of central Delhi, this serene and quiet spot is perfect for photography enthusiasts. The old brick walls transport you back in time, and as you descend the steps, you’ll notice a refreshing drop in temperature. Agrasen Ki Baoli is 15 meters wide and 60 meters long, an impressive feat believed to date back to the time of the Mahabharata.
