Have no fear, though as our home base will be the refined and quietly luxurious Grand Hyatt of Delhi.

On our third day we’ll immerse ourselves in this bustling capital city with a tour of Old Delhi. We’ll see the Jama Masjid, their largest mosque. We’ll interact with the locals, explore its narrow streets, and enjoy an authentic meal while we learn all about the difference in curries.
