Flee markets and street food

As well known, Delhi is unique in its culture and lifestyle. Being famous for its street food, flea markets, and history, it can also seem to be a challenge for tourists who are not familiar with its buzzy life and crowded neighborhood. However, it's a destination that's definitely worth exploring for its uniqueness and richness! During this 4 days trip, we will cover the main attractions: Historical monuments, Spices market & Old Delhi, Agra - Taj Mahal, Flee markets (a lot of shopping!!), aaaaand .... a lot of street food! :)

About me! I am Yara, an Architect, and researcher. I am passionate about traveling and I’ve been exploring new cultures for the past 4 years. I love hiking, trekking, and meeting other open-minded travelers. In 2021 I completed the Everest Base Camp trek and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I ever had. In 2022, I traveled across India by road from Delhi to Kerala and back in 28 days where I had the chance to get introduced to the different cultures, food, and landscapes. I stayed in India for 3 months and I am coming back this October! I would love to guide you through your Delhi Experience. Note: Travel insurance is included if you are a resident of Germany or Austria. You can view all the inclusions & exclusions of this insurance here: www.joinmytrip.com/en/t/travel-insurance.

About the accommodation: In Delhi, we will be staying in a beautiful clean apartment well-located in South Delhi where you will be able to explore the modern side of Delhi. The apartments have shared rooms with service areas (Kitchen and bathrooms). It's in proximity to the daily market where we can get food and groceries to prepare our breakfasts and snacks. Keep me posted in the Q&A section if you have any questions about the trip!
