Mystery, magic, mayhem. Welcome to Delhi. Like an eastern Rome, India’s capital is littered with the relics of lost empires. A succession of armies stormed across the Indo-Gangetic plain and imprinted their identity onto the vanquished city, before vanishing into rubble and ruin like the conquerors who preceded them.
Modern Delhi is a chaotic tapestry of medieval fortifications, Mughal mausoleums, dusty bazaars, colonial-era town planning, and mega malls.
Tucked 5,000 feet above sea level in the foothills of the Himalayas, the city is dominated by Dal Lake and offers welcome refuge from the summertime heat in the lowlands.
But even just taking a trip round the old city, you’ll feast upon sites marking Mumbai’s flamboyant history, like its famous Gate of India, Gandhi House, Haji Ali Mosque and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and more.
Perched atop a 400-foot-high volcanic outcrop, Mehrangarh Fort is the centerpiece of the city: Its gates pockmarked with cannonball dents, the fort is the legendary home of thousands of sacred birds of prey called cheel. At Mehrangarh’s feet lies the Blue City, a neighborhood of houses painted a striking blue in the style of the exalted Brahmin caste. And don’t miss the Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park close by, a botanical gardens of native plants from the Thar Desert.
A complex of Hindu and Jain temples in north-central India, Khajuraho is often referred to as “the Kama Sutra temple.” While the majority of the carvings here are G-rated, there is a hefty dose of eye-popping hanky panky carved in high relief, including some incredible feats of contortion. In some cases, you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for yoga—except without any yoga pants. The original artists clearly had a sense of humor, and included representations of scandalized onlookers with their hands at their mouths. But the United Nations approves: Khajuraho is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site.

for five days straight.
