Delhi

Jama Masjid before the heat rises, the Red Fort, a rickshaw through Chandni Chowk to a century-old parantha lane, Humayun's Tomb at golden hour, and qawwali at the Nizamuddin Dargah.

A colonial-era pastry shop breakfast, Rajpath's ceremonial avenue, the 16th-century tombs of Lodhi Gardens, lunch in Khan Market, the National Museum, and dinner at Manish Mehrotra's Indian Accent.
