What to do and see in New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
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.

Rajpath runs from Rashtrapati Bhawan (President House) through Vijay Chowk to India Gate, around 3km long. The place is the Political Power Centre where President of India residence & office , Prime Minister Office, North & South Block, Parliament House and most of the other Ministries has offices. You can not travel the whole length by car. The best way is to walk in the evening. Start from India Gate before sunset and end at Raisina Hill (President Houseand) end after dark with the view of Historic Building illuminated with colourful LED lights. On the way one can have snacks, Ice Creams, Soft Drinks etc., one can enjoy boating in the canals along the road, relax in parks on both side of Rajpath. The Republic Day Ceremony is held here on 26th January every year, the event is must watch for everyone if in New Delhi at that time. One must visit National War Memorial, India Gate and Amar Jawan Jyoti before sunset. Its a sense of national pride once you are here.

6. Hauz Khas Village
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,594 reviews
Hauz Khas village was known in the medieval period for the amazing buildings built around a reservoir and drew a large congregation of Islamic scholars and students to the Madrasa for Islamic education. Today, some of India's most prestigious institutes are situated in the neighborhood, including the Indian Institute of Technology, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. The village itself retains its old-world charm, enhanced by well-manicured green parks planted with ornamental trees all around with walk ways, and surrounded by gentrified market and residential complexes which have sprung up around the old village. The reservoir itself has been reduced in size and well landscaped with water fountains. The village structure that existed in the medieval period was modernized in mid-1980s, projecting a quiet, upscale identity that attracts tourists from all parts of the world.

Akshardham temple is a must visit on tour to Delhi. It is built with much grandiose on the banks of river Yamuna and is a unique experience in itself both spiritually and culturally. The breathtaking architecture and sculpture, the wonderful musical water fountain and sound and light show are a must watch for the sheer brilliance with which they have been imagined, designed and built. And, the entry to the venue is very systematically orgagnised. Overall, an amazing experience.

National Gallery of Modern Art at the time of its inception (1954) was compared to the 'Venice Biennale" by one of the leading newspaper of the country. It has surely come a long way since then. With its colossal collection of Paintings, Sculpture and Photography by some of the finest and renowned artists of India, NGMA is definitely 'The Mecca' for art lovers. Situated at the central Hexagon near India Gate inside the premise of Jaipur House, this museum is a must visit, I would say. The museum has been set up expertly into four floors, each displaying illustrations by different artists of different period. As you walk on each floor, appreciating the oeuvre by different artists, you get educated as how the Indian paintings got evolved from miniature ones to larger than life size paintings. The museum exhibits myriad genre of Indian paintings ranging from Buddhists, Hindu mythology, Mughal, British era, modern day paintings and abstract painting as well. At the time of my visit to this museum, the bottom most gallery displayed the photography by Nimai Ghosh, who captured in his camera, some of the memorable moments from the life of Satyajit Ray (Oscar Award Winning Bollywood Director). The second floor had collection from pre to post independent era. The third and the fourth floor was gracefully exhibited by modern day and abstract paintings. Sculptures have been placed in a very beautiful manner on second and third floor. The entire museum has been set up beautifully in a much uncluttered style and the lights have been used with absolutely perfect tone and intensity. Adjacent to Main Museum building lies the Jaipur House which is used to showcase the work of different artists from time to time. Presently, the Hall is exhibiting the great work of Upendra Maharathi and the exhibition has been named as "Shashwat". Maharathi was a true Gandhinian and had immense faith Buddha. His 112 feet long work of art depicting the life of Gautama Buddha is also on display. Conclusively I could say that this place is not just for the connoisseur of art but for the amateurs too as it is very educative and very enlightening. Important Info: 1. The museum is opened From Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. 2. Free Parking is available in front of gate no 3 of Museum 3. The entry fee for Indian citizen is INR 20 and that for foreign nationals is INR 500. 4. A guided walk is organised every day at 1130 am, 01:30 pm and 3:30 pm. This guided walk is free of cost. The guide helps in understanding the museum and the art in a much better way. 5. Photography is allowed inside the museum, but one can use only mobile phone cameras and not the professional cameras. Be sure to switch off the flash of your mobile phones while clicking photos. No selfie is allowed inside the museum. 6. Locker facility is available free of cost inside museum. 7.
