India's capital where Mughal heritage meets modern ambition

Mughal-era monuments like the Red Fort and Humayun's Tomb stand alongside the modernist geometry of the Lotus Temple and the gleaming towers of Gurugram. The street food alone (chaat, kebabs, paranthas in Chandni Chowk) justifies the trip, and a day trip to the Taj Mahal in Agra takes just 2 hours by Gatimaan Express.
