Rise early and watch Delhi come to life in a frenzy of colors, smells and sounds. In a small group, maximum 12 people, your local guide will lead you through the action packed streets to experience the massive working bee that prepares India for the day ahead. Feel the buzz of negotiation at the local flower markets, see morning prayers, enjoy a traditional India breakfast and hang out with the locals at the Bangla Sweet Shop, a Delhi institution.

This small but elegant temple was constructed in 1724 and has become very popular with devotees of Lord Hanuman.  A highlight of the temple is the continuous chanting that has been sounding out 24 hours a day from the temple since August 1st, 1964.
