Heritage Walks & History Tours in Delhi

Guided heritage walks run in Delhi almost every weekend, mostly in the early morning from October to March, and the events below are refreshed daily. The city has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites (the Qutub Minar complex, Humayun's Tomb and the Red Fort) and hundreds of protected monuments. The most popular routes are Old Delhi, covering Chandni Chowk's bazaars, havelis and Jama Masjid, often combined with a food walk; the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, 200 acres with more than 100 monuments, including the remains of Lal Kot, Delhi's oldest surviving fort; Nizamuddin Basti and the dargah, followed by Humayun's Tomb and the restored Sunder Nursery; the Hauz Khas reservoir and Firuz Shah Tughlaq's madrasa; Lodhi Garden's Sayyid and Lodi-era tombs; and the ruins of Tughlaqabad Fort, built in 1321. Walks usually last two to three hours; monument entry fees, charged by the Archaeological Survey of India, are often extra. Photo walks, storytelling walks and evening tours add variety, and Purana Qila runs a sound-and-light show after sunset.
