Then, visit Jama Masjid, the most important mosque in India. After lunch, encounter Humayun’s Tomb, an architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal. Return to your hotel.

Also privately enter a hall usually closed to the public, for an exceptional insider-access moment.

One of the most popular Hindu temples in India, it was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi, with the stipulation that it was to be open to all castes and all faiths — a symbol of peace, love and prosperity. In nearby Connaught Place, see Sri Bangla Sahib Gurudwara, a historical Sikh temple dedicated to the memory of Guru Hari Krishan, who once stayed in the gold-domed building when it was still the palace of Raja Jai Singh.
