Morning sightseeing tour of Old Delhi, passing by the Red Fort, built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and enjoy a ride on a rickshaw (man-pulled bicycle cart) at Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and largest bazaars in India. Crisscrossed by narrow streets with stores fighting for space, Chandni Chowk gives the feel of old Delhi shopping. Since the 17th century era, this place is rightly called a "shopper's paradise" in Delhi. During the reign of Shah Jahan, there was a tree-lined canal running through its center and reflecting the moon. Hence, the name "Chandni Chowk" came about, meaning "place of moonlight".

In the afternoon, visit of New Delhi Walk through the government buildings, Rashtrapati Bhawan (residence of the President of India), the Parliament and the Gateway of India (Arch of Triumph). Then visit the Gurudwara, the Temple of Sikh religion, an architectural beauty. Sikhs by their religion perform Seva also Sewa, short for the word Karseva refers to "selfless service", work or service performed without any thought of reward or personal gain.

Volunteers who participate in Seva are known as Sevadars. During their visit to the kitchen, they will have the opportunity to become a sevadar and participate in the cooking by making chapatis (Indian omelet), helping to prepare lentils, vegetables and serving the numerous people seated waiting for food. It is a very uplifting experience in that in a way you are giving something back to the community/people.

Then visit Gandhi Smriti (also called Birla House), the place where Mahatma Gandhi spent the last 144 days of his life and was assassinated on January 30, 1948 (Gandhi Smriti is closed on Mondays and if you are in Delhi on Monday, you will visit Rajghat (Gandhi's crematorium) instead of Gandhi Smriti).
