The Well Travelled Geek India Part 3

We finally had a day to go sightseeing in Delhi. We got around the city on a luxury coach bus. Our first stop was at Qutb Minar. Qutb Minar is a 237 feet tall tower built as a cultural site. It is one of the best early examples of Indo-Islamic architecture.

Many ancient mosques and structures, better known as Qutb complex, surround it. It is accessible via metro, and can be printed on the metro cards. It is made of sandstone and is the tallest tower in India. It has a diameter of 14 meters on the bottom and 2 meters on the top. It was built about 900 years ago and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
