Walking Tours
Hotels may be able to arrange walking tours on request. For a two-hour walking tour of Old Delhi with an expert, try Old Delhi Walks (tel: (011) 2464 1304); advance bookings required. Alternatively, self-guided walking tours of a number of areas are possible. Starting at Old Delhi's Jain Temple at the eastern end of Chandni Chowk, by the Red Fort, a walk through this area weaves through the alleyways and takes in the area's finest temples and most colourful markets. Meanwhile, it takes about an hour and a half to tour the main mosques and mansions of Old Delhi, which covers the stretch from the Jama Masjid to Ajmeri Gate.
