The Majestic Red Fort: A Glimpse into Mughal Grandeur

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from nearby cities in Eastern India, take the NH19 highway towards Delhi. Upon reaching Delhi, follow signs for Chandni Chowk. Once in Chandni Chowk, navigate to Netaji Subhash Marg, where the Red Fort is located. There is parking available nearby, but it can be limited, so plan to arrive early.

• Train

  For those traveling by train, book a ticket to New Delhi Railway Station, which is well connected to various cities in Eastern India. Upon arrival at the station, exit and take a cycle rickshaw or auto-rickshaw to Chandni Chowk. The ride will take about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. After reaching Chandni Chowk, follow the signs to Red Fort, which is approximately a 10-minute walk from there.

• Bus

  If you prefer traveling by bus, several state transport buses run from major Eastern Indian cities to Delhi. You can catch a bus to ISBT Kashmiri Gate in Delhi. From ISBT, take the metro to Chandni Chowk Station on the Yellow Line. Once you exit the metro station, walk towards Chandni Chowk, and then to Netaji Subhash Marg. The Red Fort is just a short walk from there.

• Metro

  If you are already in Delhi or nearby, use the Delhi Metro. The nearest metro station to the Red Fort is Chandni Chowk on the Yellow Line. Once you exit the station, you can either walk (approximately 10-15 minutes) or take an auto-rickshaw to Red Fort. Auto-rickshaws are available outside the metro station, and the fare is generally around ₹30-₹50.
