Delhi Night Tour: Temples, Connaught Place & India Gate

Summary

Explore Delhi’s temples and markets by night with a local guide

You’ll wander through Connaught Place’s lively night markets, sip chai with locals, step inside ancient temples, and help serve food at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib before riding a tuk-tuk to India Gate—all with a friendly local guide. Expect laughter, stories, and moments that stick with you long after.

What’s the experience like?

"If you want to understand Delhi," our guide Ritu said, "you have to see it after sunset." She grinned as we squeezed into the crowd at Connaught Place—honestly, I’d never seen so many people moving in so many directions at once. The air was thick with the smell of roasted peanuts and something sweet I couldn’t place. I tried to keep up as Ritu pointed out old colonial buildings next to neon-lit shops. She waved at a chai vendor who handed us tiny paper cups—hot, milky tea that burned my tongue but felt right for the moment.

We ducked into Hanuman Temple next. Bells clanged above our heads and someone pressed a marigold into my hand—I still remember the way the petals felt, kind of cool and soft against my palm. Ritu told us stories about the monkey god while an old woman smiled at me like she knew I was lost in thought. After that, we wandered over to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. The Sikh volunteers were serving food to anyone who wanted it—no questions asked. We helped roll out dough for chapatis (mine looked more like Australia than a circle), and Li laughed when I tried to say “thank you” in Punjabi.

The tuk-tuk ride was loud and bumpy—Delhi traffic at night is its own kind of wild—but suddenly we were in front of India Gate. It glowed under yellow lights, with families picnicking on the grass even though it was late. Ritu explained how it honors soldiers from World War I; there was something quiet about standing there after all that noise and color earlier. I didn’t expect to feel moved by a monument, but yeah—I still think about that view sometimes.
