Delhi rewards the traveller who understands it is not one city but at least seven, stacked by successive empires. In a single day you can move from the MughalMughalRelating to the Muslim dynasty of Central Asian descent that ruled most of the subcontinent from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century.Read in the glossary splendour of Humayun's Tomb through the theatrical density of Chandni Chowk to the stately geometry of Lutyens' New Delhi — each a different civilisation's answer to the same river plain.
We treat Delhi as an overture: a day or two of calibrated immersion — a private rickshaw through the old city, a heritage walk with a conservationist, dinner where Mughlai cooking still follows court recipes — before the journey proper begins.
