Old Delhi

When Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan laid the foundation for his new capital north of the ruins of Delhi in 1640, could he have known that his mighty Shahjahanad would become the last in a long line of 'Old' Delhis? Today, the walled city offers wonderful and unusual experiences to locals and visitors alike. The intense commercial hustle of the main streets fades away as one travels deeper into the complex maze of meandering streets and curiously named neighbourhoods, and it is easy enough to suddenly find oneself in a quiet sun-dappled courtyard dating to the early 19th century. It is this curious mix of contradictions that best defines Shahjahanabad: it is both boisterous and peaceful, commercial and cultured, decadent and decaying, dated, and yet so full of life. Dress conservatively, wear comfortable shoes, and, most importantly, carry along a healthy appetite.

Gadodia Market

Gadodia Market is located in Khari Baoli, arguably the largest spice market in the world, and the air in these environs is saturated with the smells of chilli and turmeric. Brace yourself for a surge of reflux coughing and climb the staircase all the way up to the top to enjoy one of the most stunning views of Old Delhi.One of the original 'mixed-use' developments in the city, Gadodia Market was designed to be used for both comemerce and residence by its benefactor Seth Laxmi Narayan Gadodia, and though today it primarily appears to be a busy warehouse and marketplace, one can never be sure of who else takes refuge here.
