When I went on
Delhi one day tour package, I came
to know various things. I saw many monuments like Red Fort, Qutub Minar,
Akshardham, Rashtrapati Bhavan, etc. I enjoyed the street food also and the
sightseeing with lot many selfies was a stunning experience. The amazing street
food was butter chicken, Dahi Vada, chole kulche, lassi, jalebi and very
importantly, water. Yes, there are hand carts of drinking water. These hand
carts give water for Rs. 1 Rs. 2 per glass. This is so because I visited Delhi
during summers and it is difficult to carry a lot of water. The Mughal
monuments were so ornamental and full of grandeur that it was difficult to
remove the eyes from them. Here are some interesting facts that I came to know
by the residents, other tourists and the guide.

the design of the Taj Mahal. The design Humayun's Tomb is the inspiration
behind the design of the Taj Mahal. Isn't that amazing! There around hundred
tombs inside the monument called as Humayun's Tomb. This is the first garden
tomb in India, rather in the Indian subcontinent. It is very big. It is located
on Mathura Road, Nizamuddin East Delhi.
Red Fort was the
palace of the rulers of Mughal dynasty. It is located in Old Delhi. It is
located in the centre of Delhi. The Mughal rulers lived for around 200 years

magnificence that could be there in the Red Fort and it has all the rights to
