Upon arrival at Delhi International Airport, you will be greeted with a traditional Indian “Swagat” (welcome). Our representative will assist with your transfer to the hotel for check-in.

Delhi, the capital of India, is a vibrant fusion of antiquity and modernity. This city, once known as Indraprastha from the Mahabharata era (circa 5000 BC), has been the power seat of several dynasties—from the Mughals to the British. Monumental works by rulers such as Qutub-ud-din Aibak, Alauddin Khilji, the Tughlaqs, Humayun, and Shah Jahan stand testament to its glorious past.

Later, parts of New Delhi were designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens during British rule, showcasing grand colonial architecture and broad boulevards.
