Morning
Following the experience in the Garden of Five senses, visit the famous Lotus Temple also known as the Bahai Temple located at Nehru Place, which is 6.4 kms away and just over 15 mins from the Garden. Take a look around, enjoy and relax the peace and quiet inside the temple.
Next on the agenda could be the Red Fort in old Delhi or Purani Dilli which is 11.6 kms away and is around 35 mins drive from the Lotus temple. Just bypass the local shopkeepers you will find in front of the Red Fort and don’t get carried away by their wares.
Close to Red Fort is the memorial of the Father of our Nation - Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat. It is just at a distance of 1.5 kms from the Red Fort. It is a black square platform with the last words of Bapuji inscribed on it.

Delhi Sightseeing on a Metro
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) came into existence in 1995 as a joint venture of Indian and Delhi Govt. It is the world's 13th largest metro system in terms of length, and is quite convenient for its travelers to travel to the length and breadth of the capital city.
The best way to visit Old Delhi, is the metro. Not only is the ride cheap, but it is fast and hassle free. Get down at Chandni Chowk and explore the real Delhi. You must try Old Delhi Chaat or savour the taste of Parathas in Parathewale Gali. For non-vegetarian, you simply cannot miss the kebabas and biryani of Karim's! A visit to Gurudwara Seesh Ganj Sahib built by Guru Teg Bahadur is a must in Old Delhi.
