Then there’s the amazing Khas Mahal which was once home to Shah Jahan and showcases stunning fountains, ceilings, and lattice windows, while you can also visit the Sheesh Mahal or Mirror Place with its mirror-laden ceilings and walls.

“Fun and informative afternoon with Virendra”
We had a great afternoon with Virendra, he met us at our hotel then took us around Old Delhi showing us all the sights, telling the history of the places and passing on lots of local knowledge. He was very easy going, shared some fun stories, encouraged us to try and brought us some street food and he is a handy photographer! I would recommend Virendra to anyone around the golden triangle
