"One of Delhi’s top attractions and a renowned UNESCO world heritage site. Standing 240 feet tall, this tower was established in the year 1192, by the very first ruler of Delhi – Qutb-ud-din Aibak. This minaret is named after its creator. This five-story tower is built purely from marble and red sandstone and has a spiral staircase that takes you to the top in 379 steps. However, this has been closed to the public since 1974."

"At a staggering 72.5 meters, it's the tallest minaret in India! Built between late 1100s and early 1200s, this minaret has weathered its fair share of challenges – from lightning strikes to earthquakes. Built from sandstone with marble accents, it's adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions from the Quran. So, crane your neck and gaze up in awe. "
