Chandni Chowk is the archetypical old city of India that transports you into a bygone era. The food walk takes you through countless bazaars and the narrow lanes of the old city. One comes across burqa clad women, countless vendors, urban Delhiites and swanky tourists.
Chandni Chowk is where you get street food, super crowded bazaars and riksha rides, all combined to give a complete experience. You can also consider combining the food walk with a visit the Red Fort (a World Heritage Site).
