New Delhi

‘Delightful Delhi’ is India’s capital and consists of two parts. 

Old Delhi is where you’ll find many mosques, monuments and forts relating to India’s Muslim history.

New Delhi, the country’s third largest city, is spacious, open and home to many embassies and government buildings.

With an estimated 15 million people living here, you’ll probably find it a little chaotic to start with, but New Delhi has a unique inner peace, rich with culture, architecture and human diversity.

The city is expansive but easy to get around, although you’ll need to get used to the various forms of transport on the roads!

New Delhi’s high-octane growth is achieving lift-off; the modern face of the city is virtually taking leave of its ancient heritage. Like other Indian cities, New Delhi’s fast growing IT, telecommunications and banking sectors are attracting professionals from the world over. These in turn are propelling New Delhi’s economy, setting the city to a fast, edgy pace.


Flanking the Yamuna River in northern India, New Delhi is India’s largest and most expensive city to live. The capital is also the seat of India’s government.

The name "New Delhi" belies the fact that the city is built upon the "seven ancient cities;" its history ostensibly dates back 5000 years, making it one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. Here Connaught Place, one of India’s largest financial centers, and the upscale Khan market, thrive alongside the breathtakingly beautiful 15th-century Lodi Gardens and the 10th-century Qila Rai Pithora.

New Delhi’s recent growth spurt has set housing progress on an upward trajectory. These days the more expensive areas are found in Malcha Marg, Golflinks, Jorbagh, Shantiniketan, and Westend. Those keen on a more authentic - and green - India experience, should head out of town for the farmhouses of Westend Greens or Chattapur.

New Delhi boasts a fantastic quality of life in terms of food, culture, social networks, housing, education and health. Combined, these factors provide an easy landing into India’s northernmost city.
