HeritageOld Delhi Heritage Walk & Street Food Tour
Join a walking tour of Old Delhi customised for you: Covering Chandani Chowk, Khari Baoli (spice market), Chawri Bazar, Jama Masjid, while trying the famous food here will make for a perfect day in the heart of the city, where it all began. There's a lot of soul in these chaotic lanes.
FoodLodhi Art District Street Art Walk
If you want to visit Delhi art galleries, consider exploring India’s first public art district: a living canvas of 60+ murals by Indian and International artists. Many have a powerful story to tell, and all make for excellent photography. Led by the creators of the District we visit 15-16 murals and learn about their artists, stories, and significance. The coexistence of contemporary world topics and local culture & art forms is reflective of Delhi’s current social landscape
CraftDelhi Through the Ages: A Monuments Tour
There are many historical places in Delhi, but they lose their magic without excellent storytelling. Journey through the empires that built the city — the Sultanate-era Qutub Minar, the Mughal grandeur of Humayun's Tomb and Purana Qila, and India Gate, where colonial Delhi picks up the story. Eight centuries of history, with the human stories official plaques leave out. We tailor the route & monuments to your pace, preferences, and time.
Festive Experiences
HeritageDurga Puja in CR Park, Delhi
Durga Puja is India's most spectacular festival: a five-day celebration honouring Durga, the Hindu goddess of power, marked by elaborately crafted pandals, handcrafted clay idols, rhythmic drumming, devotional rituals, and streets overflowing with food, colour, and community. The best Durga Puja experience in Delhi is found in one neighbourhood: CR Park.
Delhi's little Bengal since the 1960s, CR Park has celebrated Durga Puja since 1971 and today hosts 12-13 pandals across its neighbourhoods during the five sacred days of Shashthi through Dashami. It is a community that pours its heart into recreating the magic of Kolkata's pujo, right here in the capital.
Localist's CR Park Durga Puja experience is a 3.5-4 hour immersive walk through the pandals, sweet shops, artisans' corners, and the stories of migration and devotion that make this Bengali festival in Delhi so extraordinary — led by Bengali locals with roots to Kolkata
Holi in Delhi
Delhi's Holi celebrations are electric and the city erupts in colour, music, and joy in a way that is impossible not to get swept up in. Localist invites you to experience Holi in Delhi the way locals do: an intimate celebration with friends and family, playing with organic colours, festive food and drinks, and the warmth of a community coming together for one of India's most joyful festivals. Whether you're experiencing Holi for the first time or looking for an authentic alternative to the large commercial events, this is the real thing
