Walk with me | Ep. 01 - Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, India | Getting to Touch Old Delhi | Ajmeri Gate

Old Delhi, Delhi, India | 2022: We start the video at one of the roads - Minto Road - radiating from the grand Central Delhi location of Connaught Place. Minto Road runs roughly north from Connaught Place, connecting the New Delhi build by the British to the Old Delhi or Purani Dilli built by the Mughal ruler Shahjahan. In fact where Minto Road ends in the north is where Shahjanabad begins just as where Minto Road ends in the south is where Connaught Place of New Delhi begins.
Shahjahabad is another historical name for the Old City of Delhi, named after the ruler who had the city built. Old Delhi or Purani Dilli is also called Chandni Chowk. Minto Road meets Asaf Ali Road just at the south of Old Delhi, which is famously also called Chandni Chowk. On Asaf Ali Road we take the left turn and keep walking left until we reach Ajmeri Gate, one of the fourteen gates in this walled city of Shahjahanabad.
From Ajmeri Gate we go straight and explore that neighborhood of Old Delhi which is eponymously called Ajmeri Gate. We walk along some very interesting lanes and bylanes of Ajmeri Gate to finally reach the Sitaram Bazar neighborhood of Old Delhi. Sitaram Bazar is also where we take a short break to grab the famous Delhi breakfast of Kachori at one of the famous shops in the region.
After the Kachori we keep walking around a little more in the Sitaram Bazar neighborhood of Old Delhi. This is also where the video ends.

Awesome thank you, I'm headed there and will wander around photographing people etc. The lady stringing flowers right at the end of this is who I'd approach for a portrait. Well done 👍📷

[@awalkwithmeee]

Thank you :) Sounds like a great plan for you. Have a good time! All the best. Do try to get there early in the morning to have the best experience. I used to be there at 7 something. Later in the day will be a little too crowded.

Can you locate the Koocha Bund, that was situated somewhere around Chandni Chowk where my ancestors used to live before moving to Lahore in 1947

[@awalkwithmeee]

Wow. This is so amazing and fascinating to hear, Rashid..that your ancestors used to live somewhere around in the area. I can definitely try to research a bit and try to find :) Though I am outside of Delhi for some time. Will check in few days once I am back. Thanks for watching and for that interesting comment.
