Tour Itinerary
It is the official residence of the President of India. The Rashtrapati Bhawan stands out as an architectural marvel that overlooks the lush green lawns around India Gate. It has a magnificent view of the Rajpath and symmetrical North and South block government offices.
India Gate was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Originally known as All India War Memorial, it commemorates the 90,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army who lost their lives during World War I. Burning in a shrine under the arch of India Gate since 1971 is the Amar Jawan Jyoti or the eternal flame which symbolizes the sacrifice of brave Indian soldiers.
Inspired by the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan and wishing to surpass it, Qutbuddin Aibak, commenced construction of the Qutub Minar in 1193, but could only complete its base. Later, his successors, added other stories. The development of various architectural styles from Aibak to Tughluq is quite evident in the minaret. Numerous inscriptions in Arabic and Nagari characters in different places of the Minar reveal the history of Qutub. Qutub Minar, the lofty tower is a heritage site which showcases the rich Mughal or Mogul past of India. The minaret is 234 feet high making it one of the highest individual towers in the world.
