Continuing from where i left last week (Qutub Minar), it was pretty much decided that we would go to Humayun’s Tomb and Lotus Temple on 28 Nov 2010 (Sunday).
It was just another busy week at the office and after much anticipation Sunday arrived. Movie session on Saturday night did the trick and we woke up late on Sunday Morning. So we abandoned our plan to visit the Lotus Temple in the morning and decided to go to Humayun’s Tomb first….
A fine specimen of the great Mughal architecture – Humayun’s Tomb
We soon got ready and boarded Metro from Noida Sec 15 station to Indraprastha Metro Station and from their a 10 min ride on Auto took us to the Main Gate of the Humayun’s Tomb Complex. It was Sunday, so like any other place in Delhi it was crowded. After paying the entry ticket of Rs. 10/- each and after no checking and baggage scanning we entered the Humayun’s Tomb Complex.
Enjoy the Tour…..
Tomb of Isa Khan
Isa Khan’s Tomb was Constructed in 1547 built during his own lifetime and the reign of Islam Shah Suri, son of Sher Shah. It later served as a burial place for the entire family of Isa Khan.

Ive been to Humayuns Tomb once, a long, long time ago and always considered it the best place in Delhi. If I go to Delhi again, I will surely revisit especially after seeing your pics. The moon image is superb too.
