Delhi: Mystery, magic, mayhem. Welcome to Delhi, City of Djinns, and 25 million people. Like an eastern Rome, India’s capital is littered with the relics of lost empires. A succession of armies stormed across the Indo-Gangetic plain and imprinted their identity onto the vanquished city, before vanishing into rubble and ruin like the conquerors who preceded them. Modern Delhi is a chaotic tapestry of medieval fortifications, Mughal mausoleums, dusty bazaars, colonial-era town planning, and mega malls.

Suggested hotels: The Oberoi Delhi, The Lodhi (formerly Aman Resort), The Imperial Delhi

After breakfast, enjoy a game of Golf at the Delhi Golf Club

Peter Thompson Design, 18 Hole, Par 72, 7036 Yards – Tee off on a trail of history. Spray your shot and chances are – particularly if that damned hook persists – that you’ll be looking for the ball around turns of a tomb. Every golf course boasts of its hoary past, but few can compete with the Lodhi. Here lie the ends of dynasties, the relics of mighty empires, ruins which bear testimony to an age of glory. Sometimes your ball might fly unexpectedly; be sure the spirits are active.
