Old Delhi Spice Market og Temple Tour
Beskrivelse
Udforsk Delhi med en vandretur gennem byens kerne. Startende ved Connaught Place er det en kort metrotur til Old Delhi. Old Delhi, som blev grundlagt som Mughal Empires hovedstad i 1639, er travl, kaotisk og rig på historiske steder. Turen dækker vigtige historiske vartegn og adskillige markeder. Oplev Khari Baoli, Asiens største engrosmarked for krydderier. Efter krydderimarkedet kan du nyde en tagudsigt over Old Delhi. Se det røde forts ydre og Fatehpuri-moskeen, mens din guide beskriver deres betydning og historie. Afslut ved Sikh-templet for at lære om sikhisme og se, hvordan deres fælleskøkken fodrer mange sultne mennesker.

Gaden Khari Baoli er måske det mest livlige og fascinerende stykke af Old Delhi. Det er bestemt det mest skarpe, fordi det er vært for et af verdens største engros-krydderimarkeder. De utallige lyse og vidunderlige krydderier, der opliver indisk madlavning, vises i store høje og forhandles i kæmpe sække. At gå gennem markedet er en oplevelse i sig selv, men det er svært at finde et udsigtspunkt, hvorfra man kan se dets fulde herlighed.oli er et travlt krydderimarked i hjertet af Old Delhi
Fatehpuri-moskeen er en moské fra det 17. århundrede beliggende i den vestlige ende af den ældste gade i Chandni Chowk, moskeen er bygget med rød sandsten i stor skala og er overgået af en enkelt kuppel. Denne moské er et smukt eksemplar af storslået Mughal-arkitektur og står som en tavs tilskuer, der er vidne til alle historiske begivenheder lige fra Mughal og britiske perioder til dato. Flankeret af tårnhøje minareter har moskeen et traditionelt design med bedesalen med syv-buede åbninger. Blandt de syv buer er den centrale bue den højeste. Moskeen har enkelt- og dobbeltetagers lejligheder på siderne.
The Red Fort Complex blev bygget som paladsfortet i Shahjahanabad - den nye hovedstad for den femte Mughal-kejser i Indien, Shah Jahan. Opkaldt efter sine massive omsluttende vægge af rød sandsten, støder det op til et ældre fort, Salimgarh, bygget af Islam Shah Suri i 1546, som det danner Red Fort Complex med.
I hjertet af Old Delhi er Chandni Chowk et travlt shoppingområde med markeder fyldt med krydderier, tørret frugt, sølvsmykker og livlige sarier, mens de smalle sidegader er fyldt med små butikker, der sælger æteriske olier, papirvarer og traditionelle indiske slik. I nærheden huser det enorme røde fort fra Mughal-tiden nu et museumskompleks, og Jama Masjid fra det 17. århundrede er en enorm moské i rød sandsten med tårnhøje minareter.
Den niende sikh-guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, blev halshugget her den 11. november 1675 på ordre fra Aurangzeb. Inden hans lig kunne kvarteres og udsættes for offentligheden, blev det stjålet i ly af mørket af en af hans disciple, Lakhi Shah Vanjara, som derefter brændte hans hus for at kremere guruens lig. Dette sted er markeret af en anden gurdwara, Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib. Guru Tegh Bahadurs afhuggede hoved ("Sis" på hindi eller Punjabi) blev bragt til Anandpur Sahib af Bhai Jaita, en anden af Guruens discipel. Før det blev kremeret, tog han det til Ambala by for en nat, og der er også en anden gurdwara ved navn Shri Sis Ganj Gurdwara nær det lokale grøntsagsmarked, Gobind Rai, som senere skulle blive Guru Gobind Singh, den tiende og sidste Sikhernes guru.

I was able to experience a tour closely following the town of Old Delhi.
Amazing and beautiful experience in the most messy and true district of Delhi. Absolutely recommended!!!
Grazie mille per le tue parole! Sono felice che tu abbia apprezzato l’esperienza e l’energia autentica di Sanjay Colony. È sempre un piacere mostrare il lato più vero e umano di Delhi. – Vijay, Travel with Locals in India

Wow! Genuinely a life experience. First, our guide Vijay was an absolute delight. He is kind, calm, navigates through the city and with others in a very courteous manner, and has very clearly done his research on the information he shares. Absolute wealth of information. We go to take the metro, a rickshaw and bike cart to get around. He even through in an extra step away from the scheduled tour to talk about the Red Fort. He knew when to ask if we wanted photos, allowed us time to explore something we might see in passing, and was very flexible. Definite highlight for myself was the Sikh Temple. Very interesting to not only learn the history of the religion, but it’s very sad history in Delhi. But the most impactful was the kitchen they manage to feed thousands every day for free! Awe inspiring. The markets were amazing and packed. The Jain tunnels and shops were unexpected. Highly recommend any of Vijay’s tours. You will walk away enlightened.

It also gave us to try different delicious products typical of the place. A different experience that is very worthwhile. I recommend it 100%.

The tour was amazing. The spice market is an experience and the temple is awesome. We also watched the fountain show (110 rupies more) but was totally worth it. The guide Vijay brought us in the most beautiful places of old Delhi
Vijay took us around the different markets and temples in the Chandni Chowk area. He was very friendly and super flexible to accomodate our needs. Also, very informative and super useful to get to walk all the streets that only locals know! Super recommended!
