I had always wanted to visit the capital city of the country, owing to the fact that it has so many monuments and attractive historical locations.  As a three day vacation period was coming up, I decided to fly to the city with my children to enjoy some fun time together visiting such place and learning more about our country’s culture and past. 

I booked tickets to Delhi on Indigo airlines using the airline’s online booking system.

Journey on Indigo Air Was Smooth and Quick

Indigo Air is a leading low cost carrier in the country, operating from its hubs in Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bhubaneswar, Bangalore and Hyderabad.  Initiated in 2006, it has become so popular with the public that it has now become the second largest low cost carrier in all of Asia.

The airline offers vital connectivity between the most popular travel routes enabling people to journey as and when required, but without incurring heavy expenses. Its Chennai to Delhi flights offer easy connectivity between the two key metro cities and assists travelers to journey   at reduced rates.

 
The journey from Chennai to Delhi lasted three hours, during which time we enjoyed meals and refreshments. Once the flight landed in the Delhi airport we reached the hotel accommodation via cab. 

I Stayed In a Lavish Three Star Hotel 
My place of stay was the beautiful Hotel Hari Piorko which is a lovely three star hotel situated in Pahar Ganj. The hotel’s interiors are cozy, warm and wonderful, providing latest guest facilities and amenities that make way for an enjoyable staying experience. 

My room was elegantly furnished and inclusive of everything that a guest would need such as plush bedding, LCD television, wi-fi, stylish baths etc.  There are two places to dine which is the dining hall and the other is the Alfresco restaurant. In both places you can enjoy delicious North Indian and Continental cuisine. 
The hotel offers guests a wellness center where they can enjoy massages. There is also a garden in the roof top where guests can enjoy the sun and spend time in the evenings. Other facilities are travel desk, room service and housekeeping.

Sightseeing Different Monuments in Delhi
We took a cab to visit the majestic Red Fort, which was built in 1638.  The fort stood the test of time and today’s it stands as a majestic structure showcasing evidence of Mughal rule in India in its entire splendor.

At one point till 1857, it was used as the residence of the Moghul rulers. Inside the massive exterior wall is a series of building, which were used for various purposes ranging from household to halls for receiving the public, entertainment areas etc. Today the fort is a UNESCO designated world heritage site. 

Qutub Minar is the tallest minaret made form brick in the world. I saw the structure in its entire grandness and was completely stunned by it. It is a UNESCO designated world heritage site and made from sand stone and marble. Standing at 73 meters in height, it is a towering monument with a circular staircase that leads to its top. 

Our next stop over was the Lotus Temple, which is a structure that is open to all regardless of their religion. It is the most visited place in Delhi and one that stuns you with its facade which is shaped like lotus petals. Considered as an architectural marvel, it can accommodate about 2500 people inside.

We also stopped over at India Gate and the famous Lodi Gardens. After visiting the historical locations, we came back to the hotel to pack for the return journey.
