India Gate, memorial built in the year 1931 to commemorate the Indian soldiers who died in the World War I & the Afghan Wars. The names of the soldiers who died in these wars are inscribed on the walls.
President's House (Rastrapati Bhawan), the official residence of the President of India, built in the year 1931. Until 1950 it was known as Viceroy's House & served as the residence of the Governor-General of British India.
Humayun's Tomb, memorial of Mughal Emperor Humayun, built in the year 1562. The complex is a World Heritage Site & the first example of this type of Mughal architecture in India. It is the first distinct example of proper Mughal style, which was inspired by Persian architecture. It is well known that Humayun picked up the principles of Persian architecture during his exile, and he himself is likely to have planned the tomb, although there is no record to that effect. Mirak Mirza Ghiyath, a Persian, was the architect employed by Haji Begam for this tomb.
Qutab Minar is a soaring, 73 m-high tower of victory, built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak immediately after the defeat of Delhi's last Hindu kingdom. Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced the construction of the Qutab Minar in 1200 AD, but could only finish the basement. His successor, Iltutmush, added three more storeys, and in 1368, Firoz Shah Tughlak constructed the fifth and the last storey. The first three storeys are made of red sandstone; the fourth and fifth storeys are of marble and sandstone. At the foot of the tower is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, the first mosque to be built in India.
Lotus Temple (Bahai Temple - Monday Closed): this temple is built in the shape of a lotus flower and is the last of seven Major Bahai's temples built around the world. Completed in1986 it is set among the lush green landscaped gardens. The structure is made up of pure white marble. The architect Furiburz Sabha chose the lotus as the symbol common to Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. Adherents of any faith are free to visit the temple and pray or meditate.

Dear Mrs. Miranda, greetings from SUlekha Tours!! Thank you for your kind Review indeed. We have noted that you liked our services and hopefully you will travel again with us in near future. Warms regards Anoj Verma Sulekha Tours Team
A great and unforgettable cultural trip in India. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and the drivers and support staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Everything was well organized from start to finish, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
We had an absolutely impressive guided tour of New Delhi with Sulekha Tours! The tour included a visit to a beautiful temple and an unforgettable rickshaw ride through the bustling streets of Old Delhi. Our guide Prashant was exceptional - he provided us with fascinating insights into the historical background of Delhi, explaining the origins of the city, the significance of the temple, and the development of both Old and New Delhi. His knowledge and passion for the city's history truly brought everything to life. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Delhi. It's a perfect way to experience the rich culture and history of this incredible city!
Mr Anoj as the organiser and Mr Prashant as the guide from Sulekha Travels plus the very lovely Sikh driver Duo and their bus guided us trough 1 week of discovering northern India. We started in Delhi, went to Agra for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, continued to Rhantambore for Tiger Safari (yes we saw one on Safari Day 2), before going to Jaipur. The program organisation, the monuments and stops planned as well as the quality of service was excellent. Me and my girlfriend had to stay in Delhi due to health reasons and even with this unplanned change, where we split from the rest of the group, we received perfect service. Me Anoj organised us a driver (Mr Suresh) that took us from Delhi to Agra so we could also see the Taj and catch up to the rest of our group in Jaipur. We appreciated to professionalism and fast organisation a lot, Mr Anoj was incredible helpful. Together with the history knowledge and kindness of our Guide Mr Prashant, but also the kind care of our Sikh driver Duo, we always felt taken care of, informed entertained. Once in a life time fantastic experience, that I would highly recommend to anybody! Thank you team & Sulekha Travels! Greetings from Switzerland, Yanick & Isa
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide! We saw interesting temples and of course the amazing Taj Mahal, as well as Tigers in Ranthambhore!
Wow what an experience! I have traveled all over the world from 1-3 times a month and I can say that this was an amazing trip but different in every way possible. I don’t ever write reviews but read lots of them to help me plan my trips. I can say that I have never did a trip the way I planned India as I have never had a personal planner or guide through my entire trip! Anoj was more than a pleasure to work with, as I changed my itinerary a lot from start to finish and even made some adjustments in the middle! The company Silekha Tours was more then I could ever imagine as being a top notch trustworthy company. I will say I was extremely nervous at first of getting scammed and the money transfer and how things would go when I arrived. They were comparable when searching other companies and prices and lower for a lot of them. From the minute we landed in India the trip was incredible in every way! Anoj had a sign and a welcoming flower tradition necklace for us and drove with us to the hotel to give us our packet and instructions. He kept in touch with us the entire way through WhatsApp and with the drivers and guide to make sure they knew the plan everyday. We had 2 drivers, Mahender Kumar And Mr Satish a couple of flights and many guides. Our drivers were beyond exceptional and professional from opening doors every time communicating with us to make sure we understood things happening, pointing out things, taking us to certain lunch spots, stopping at extra spots so we could take pics and stopped when we wanted to take pics and having extra things in cars like candy snacks wipes etc. The guides were all amazing and even took pictures for us with us and showed us extra things not in plan. I can’t say enough about the organization and all the people associated with them. Anoj even helped us with rebooking a flight that got canceled and changed our last night hotel so we could celebrate the new year how we wanted. All the hotels were great and in good locations where we could walk around and explore on our own. I would recommend this company as our experience was a lifetime I just can’t explain! Great job everyone.
It was a pleasure working with Anoj Verma. His communication skill was great and the driver was very professional and knowledgeable. We had a great English Speaking tour guide in Agra who provided a lot of information and was very helpful with ticket windows and other guidance. The car was very neat and clean and comfortable. The driver came 15 minutes early and waited for us patiently. I highly recommend Sulekha for the golden triangle!
