Create an itinerary including India Gate
Standing astride the capital's grandest ceremonial road, India Gate pays tribute to the soldiers of the colonial Indian Army who lost their lives fighting for Britain in World War I. In the heart of the capital's main governmental district, the triumphal arch-style gate rises to a height of 42 m (138 ft) over the road below. Wander around the base of the gate to see the imposing stone structure up close, and be sure to look up at the cornices to see the inscriptions dedicated to more than 82,000 Indian soldiers who died fighting in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere between 1914 and 1919. Don't miss seeing the small memorial beneath the gate's archway, a flame dedicated to the unknown soldier.

  • It was wonderful time visiting India Gate, New Delhi with all my good friends. Not in a mood to return back from the place.. It was so nice to stay there whole day.. It's really a memorable day.. The place is so nice. Inside not allowed due to security reasons. But the view from outside is really amazing...Unfortunately, the area around the gate is closed due to the pandemic still, but wow is it beautiful! We came here to take some pictures and just enjoy the view for a while! I recommend coming by to at least witness this beauty from the outside of the gate since it is extremely iconic and important for India!It was awesome time visiting India Entryway, New Delhi with all my old buddies. Not in that frame of mind to return back from the spot.. Remaining there entire day was so great.. It's actually a noteworthy day.. The spot is so great. Inside not permitted because of safety reasons. In any case, the view from outside is truly astonishing...
  • It was wonderful time visiting India Gate, New Delhi with all my good friends. Not in a mood to return back from the place.. It was so nice to stay there whole day.. It's really a memorable day.. The place is so nice.This tourist attraction is different and beautiful. The gate has very rich history. It’s magnificent!!! During the evenings, the edifice lights up beautifully in Indian National Colors. There was very large crowd present and police presence as well. You can get small chops, food, confectionery, traditional pastries, souvenirs and many great things to purchase. Many photographers are around to take instant memorable pictures for you. Safe and appreciate for whole family and children day out.
