Delhi Metro, Chandni Chowk and Birla Temple

We wanted to experience the Delhi Metro while exploring the city. So, boarded the metro train from Kalkaji to Chandi Chowk, one of the busiest business places in the national capital. We strolled down the road to spot Gowri Shankar Temple. At the end of the road, we could see the Red Fort, for which the entry was closed for the day. It was already late in the evening and we had to jot down the plan to visit other tourist attraction before our flight to Bengaluru in the afternoon.

We hired a taxi from there, who would drop us to the hotel and would drive us through Sri Lakshmi Narayan Temple(Birla Mandir) and India Gate.
We made sure that he would take us to other attractions in Delhi - Jantar Mantar, Akshar Dham Temple, India Gate, Humayun's Tomb, Raj Ghat and Red Fort before dropping us to the airport. That was a nice plan to cover lot of places in a short span of time! More on that in the upcoming posts!
