10 Monuments & Statues in New Delhi That You Shouldn't Miss

November 14, 2021 Diedre Savory

New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

Castle And king

Reviewed By Linda5544 - Plymouth, United States

My husband and I just returned from a fabulous three- week trip to India that was put together by Castle and King. When I was researching Indian-based travel agencies, I initially was a little hesitate about Castle and King, but only because there were not many reviews. In the end, I was persuaded by all of the 5 star-ratings. I am happy to add my high marks as well. From the beginning, communication with Arvind was excellent in coming up an itinerary and accommodations that met our interests and needs. I knew I had the right agency when I had a time sensitive visa issue and was able to get a hold of a company representative quickly on a Friday evening. Their assistance helped to resolve the problem quickly. Our itinerary included the Golden Triangle plus Varanasi, Udaipur and Kerala. We stayed in a variety of hotels including a number of heritage hotels that were all excellent. A company representative greeted us in each city. We had excellent English speaking guides and very competent drivers---drivers in India are as important as the guides! Everyone was punctual and flexible in making some changes to our itinerary along the way. Our itinerary included a full range of activities and experiences that literally affected all of the senses. Yet, unstructured time was also included. India was one of those trips of lifetime for us. We would highly recommend Castle and King to help plan and execute your trip!

It's a jain temple on a hill in Mehrauli, opposite Mehrauli archeological park. It's got a statue of Bhagwan mahaveer in sitting posture. The guards are very friendly and atmosphere is very peaceful here. One can spend some time in quiet meditation. The views are very nice too.
