India
A 10-day trip to Delhi
A complex, intense palimpsest of medieval empires and modern political power.
Delhi is rarely loved at first breath, but it rewards patience and boundary-setting faster than almost any mega-city on earth. Built across layers of eight successive capitals, it sprawls from the dense Mughal labyrinth of Old Delhi to the quiet, tree-canopied avenues designed by Edwin Lutyens and the design boutiques of South Delhi. It is loud, unapologetically sensory, and logistically demanding, but beneath the diesel fumes and street bustle sits an astonishing wealth of preserved tombs, vibrant faith institutions, and a culinary heritage spanning centuries of royal and migrant traditions.
