Saints and Royals of Delhi Private Tour

About this activity

Nizamuddin, a historic neighborhood in Delhi, India, is renowned for housing the largest concentration of graves in the city.

The tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the Sufi culture. You will witness the enchanting evening qawwali performances at Nizamuddin. These devotional songs, characterized by their soulful melodies and rhythmic chants, create a spiritually uplifting atmosphere. The experience is a must for anyone seeking a deep connection to Delhi's rich history and heritage.
