For those heading to Himalayan spots like Shimla and Dharamshala summer months (April-June) work best. The monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rains making it less suitable for travel.

First-day itineraries typically focus on Old Delhi's highlights including rickshaw rides through Chandni Chowk market visits to Jama Masjid mosque and stops at Raj Ghat. Guests often stay at mid-range properties like Hotel Florence in Karol Bagh or Classic Diplomat in central Delhi. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The driver will show you Old Delhi and take you for a memorable and exciting rickshaw ride in Chandni Chowk's narrow streets where you'll see the visual kaleidoscope of colors at Kinari Bazar."
What destinations can I combine with New Delhi on Northern India tours?
New Delhi serves as a gateway to numerous notable destinations. Popular additions include Agra's Taj Mahal Jaipur's historical sites Varanasi's religious centers and Rishikesh's yoga retreats.
