We visit India’s largest Mosque ‘Jama Masjid’ built in 1644 AD showcasing finest Islamic style of architecture and explore real life of Old Delhi through maze like streets of the iconic Ancient Bazaar ‘Chandni Chowk’ and Asia’s largest Spice Market before saying goodbye to our morning guides from the Salaam Baalak Trust.
