A major tourist attraction of
Golden Triangle Tours and
North India Tours, the rickshaw ride at Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi is a popular activity in the city among international tourists. The exhilarating ride in cycle rickshaw offered by TNS Travels takes you through hot, dusty and crowded Chandni Chowk Bazaar to offer eye-popping views of Old Delhi and its effervescent culture. We offer you an impressive cycle rickshaw ride through the principle street of Chandni Chowk all the way to
Red Fort. This street once had tree-lined canal in between, which is long gone now, and saw Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan riding along it to visit
Jama Masjid - the largest mosque in India, or Diwan-i-Am (or the Hall of Public Audience) in the
Red Fort.
The trip transports you back to the days of Mughal Empire with the shops huddle together on both sides of the narrow labyrinthine streets and alleys. Workshops of craftsmen, jewelers, eateries, sweet shops, and brand stores offer modernistic shopping pleasures in chaotic bazaars from medieval era. Hotels, Shiv Temple, Sunehri Masjid, Sisganj Gurudwara, and churches find spaces in between and add to the colorfulness of the crowded market area. At the eastern end of the Chandni Chowk market, you can see the beautiful Digambar Jain Temple dedicated to Lord Adinath. Built in red sandstone, it is renowned for its bird hospital, which release birds after treating them. Hundreds of these birds choose to live in the temple precincts and present an interesting spectacle.
English often called Chandni Chowk by its translation - Moonlit Square. Dating back to more than 300 centuries, Chandni Chowk is strewn with historical landmarks as well as shops that have a history of their own. Dariba Kalan is known for its silver, gold and pearl jewellery while Kinari Bazaar offers you beautiful zari and zardozi work. Itra or Natural perfumes of Khari Baoli, and silks and satin of Katra Neel are quite famous too. The rickshaw ride offered by us takes you to the antique stores behind Jama Masjid as well as Bhagirath Palace, the largest market in Asia for electrical goods. Formerly, Bhagirath Palace was known as the mansion of Bangle Seller's Palace and locals still call it 'Chooriwali ki Haveli'.
