Why Is Delhi A Great Travel Destination In India

Mystery, Mayhem, Magic are what describe Delhi the best. Like an eastern Rome, India’s capital is scattered with the scraps of lost empires. A good many foreign armies captured the Indo-Gangetic plain, changed the identity of the city into a vanquished colony, before vanishing into ruins like the conquerors that preceded them.

Modern Delhi, with over 16.7 million people is truly a cosmopolitan city which has brought within its fold people of all ethnic groups and their traditions and culture, reflect in a variety of cuisines, festivals and lifestyles.
