Itinerary
ItineraryFull itinerary6 stops
Pickup from Delhi NCR
Your driver collects you in a private air-conditioned car from any hotel, residence, or airport in Delhi NCR, timed so you arrive before evening entry closes.
Security & Entry
Akshardham has airport-style security and permits no phones, cameras, or bags inside. Your driver keeps them safely in the car — which is why arriving with us is simpler than arriving alone.

Cross the Bharat Upavan gardens to the Yagnapurush Kund, the world's largest step-well, which doubles as the amphitheatre for the evening show.
