Delhi, India

December 2019
We were in Delhi for roughly 24 hours. Wanting to make the most of our time here, we checked into our hotel then headed straight out for a bit of sight seeing, visiting Raj Ghat, Jama Masjid and Old Delhi.
The following morning we started by visiting Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India, followed by Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar before heading to Agra.
No better way to get acquainted with a new city than to throw yourself head first into the mad chaos.
Humayun's Tomb
Maqbara-i Humayun, is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's first wife, Empress Bega Begum.
Several smaller monuments dot the pathway leading up to the tomb, including one that even pre-dates the main tomb itself, by twenty years; it is the tomb complex of Isa Khan Niyazi, a Pashtun noble.
