About this activity
You will be picked up from your hotel in a private air conditioned vehicle, met by your guide and driven to Humayun’s Tomb. This two-hour walk begins at 8:00 am. Humayun was the second emperor in the Mughal Empire. He ruled over northern India and present day Afghanistan and Pakistan. His wife, Empress Bega Begum commissioned a Persian architect to build this tomb in the mid 16th century. This was the first time in India that they used red sandstone on a substantial scale as well as a double dome used in the building design. It was a forerunner to the Taj Mahal. . The tomb also houses the graves of Bega Begum, Hamida Begum and his great, great grandson, Dara Shikoh.
Various little tombs line the stroll to the grand mausoleum, including the tomb belonging to Isa Khan, an Afghan commander. This tomb is a fine case of the Pathan design with its octagonal shape and utilization of coated tiles.
As you stroll around the complex, your guide will connect your visual experience and the stories shared. This walking tour will take you back to the Mughal period. Your tour also includes breakfast. At the end of your tour, you will be driven back to your hotel in New Delhi.
