About Delhi:
Delhi is the largest and most populated city in North India. Being the centre of power of so many dynasties before India gained independence you can find monuments from the British, Mughal era and also from the rulers before them. Various monuments such as Red Fort, Qutab Minar, India Gate etc are within reach. You can also learn more about the Indian culture by visiting the various places of religion such as Akshardham, Lotus temple or the Jama Masjid and Bangla Sahib. Visiting these places will show you how India is one of the most secular countries in the world.
You can also spend the weekends travelling outside Delhi to places such as Agra (Taj Mahal), Mathura, Vrindavan (Birthplace of a Hindu God), Varanasi (One of the most religious cities), Jaipur (A desert city famous for its forts) and many more. Hill station such as Rishikesh also known as the Yoga capital of the world and the Parvati Valley for the adventure seekers are just a bus ride away.
