More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out into a humid Delhi morning and the city immediately sets the pace: auto horns punctuate the air, chai stalls steam along the pavement, and a private car waits to fold you into a route that threads history and motion. The Gatimaan Express whistles away from Hazrat Nizamuddin — glass and speed carving a clean ribbon through farmland — and the Taj Mahal waits across the Yamuna, its marble face catching and throwing back the sun.
