The "Himalayan Special" Mahseer Fishing Adventure

Arrive at New Delhi International Airport where you will be met by a representative of The Himalayan Outback and transferred to the hotel.

Overnight you will stay at a hotel in Delhi.

After a sumptuous breakfast at the hotel, the anglers are taken for a tour of the historical city of New Delhi. Visit some of the significant historical monuments of New Delhi like the Red fort and the Qutab Minnar, and enjoy some fine Indian cuisine. Visit the India Gate, Qutab Minar, and Parliament House and walk through Connaught Place - the heart of the city and a shopper's paradise. Also visit Humayun's Tomb built in the mid 16th century by Haji Begum senior wife of Humayun, the second Mughal emperor - this is an example of early Mughal architecture.
