THE STORY
Chandni Chowk: a closer look
Chandni Chowk belongs to the historic commercial life of Shahjahanabad. Markets, religious buildings and specialised food lanes create a densely layered neighbourhood experience. A guided walk helps make sense of its changing streets while leaving room for small discoveries.
Old Delhi rewards a guided walk through bazaars and food lanes. In New Delhi, gardens, galleries and broad boulevards offer a quieter contrast. Plan time for both rather than treating the capital as a single photo stop.
