One of the most exciting and immersive ways to explore the sights and wonders of Delhi is to hail a rickshaw and then sit back and enjoy the ride. You can hop on a rickshaw almost anywhere in Delhi, but good places to start are outside Red Fort or Jama Masjid. Cycle rickshaws aren’t metered, so you’ll have to negotiate the price and possibly a time frame upfront.
If you prefer more organised adventures, there are several tour operators that offer pre-planned routes around the major Delhi attractions, spice markets and street food stalls. To treat your special someone to a luxury experience, book a private, customised rickshaw tour including bottled water, snacks and admission to attractions.
