Geography

Getting to know Delhi

Delhi sits on the Indo-Gangetic plain in northern India, straddling the banks of the Yamuna river. It is really two cities in one: the labyrinthine lanes, mosques and havelis of Mughal-era Old Delhi, and the wide, tree-lined avenues of New Delhi laid out by the British in the early twentieth century. As India's capital, it is the natural gateway for most international arrivals and the starting point for the classic Golden Triangle route to Agra and Jaipur.
