The experience

The Walled City transforms after sunset. Your guide meets you at Delhi Gate and walks you through the bazars while they're still buzzing, stopping at famed street vendors for the city's "best Gool Gapa," Dahi Bhalay, Cheese Naan, Chicken Biryani and Fruit Chaat: ten tastings in all, enough for a full dinner. As you eat, your guide explains the cooking techniques and ingredients that make these simple dishes work, so you're not just sampling but understanding what you're tasting.

Between tastings, you visit Shahi Hamam, a restored Mughal bath complex built by Wazir Khan, the physician of Shah Jahan. The guide walks you through the sophisticated engineering and the elegant decoration of walls and ceiling that reveal how the Mughal court lived. Then you navigate the narrow streets and hawkers to reach Masjid Wazir Khan, a 400-year-old mosque from the Mughal dynasty, calm and ornate in the evening light. Seeing these landmarks after dark gives them a different atmosphere than a daytime visit would.

Your final course happens at Haveli Restaurant on Fort Food Street, where you choose your own dish and eat with a view of Lahore spread out below. The guide delivers you back to Delhi Gate, leaving you free to explore other parts of the city or return to your hotel.
