#9 Savour the delicious street food

Delhi is famous for its tangy, masala-filled street food. Whether it is the ‘Paranthe wali gali’ in Chandni Chowk or the ‘Chole Bharture’ at Chacha’s in Kamla Nagar, no one can resist the sumptuousness of Delhi’s food. The stars should keep their strict diets aside for a day and indulge in these sinful delights.

#8 Enjoy the chaotic fun!

A visit to Chandni Chowk in old Delhi will make the players fall in love with all the chaos that India is famous for. The narrow streets, the tasty food, the grandeur of the Red Fort, the chaos and liveliness of old Delhi – all of it makes for an experience worth the hassle.

#7 Take a dip in the holy Ganges

Known as the holiest river in the world, the Ganges or Ganga is always a nice place to visit. The stars of the Coca-Cola IPTL could take a trip to Haridwar and dip into the Holy Ganges in order to get in touch with their spiritual self.

#6 Visit the fascinating Jantar Mantar

Constructed in 1724 by Maharaja Jai Singh of Jaipur, the Jantar Mantar in Delhi would be a fascinating sight to witness for the tennis stars in the Coca-Cola IPTL. The instruments here can measure the correct time by using the intensity of the sunlight, and no one would want to miss seeing that!

#5 Shopping at Dilli Haat

The women of the Coca-Cola IPTL would have a blissful experience shopping at this traditional marketplace. Dilli Haat has an old-school village market ambience, and the ladies can buy all the traditional as well as contemporary stuff here. This a a place where rural and folk art come together to create a magical atmosphere. There are ethnic clothes, junk jewellery, regional food and plenty more!

#4 Visit the Akshardham Temple

Known as one of the largest temples in the world, the Akshardham temple epitomises a thousand years of culture, tradition, grandeur and all that India stands for. Located on NH-24 near Delhi, this is one beautiful place that the stars should make it a point to see.

#3 A visit to the India Gate

Another must-visit place for the players is the India Gate in Delhi. At a height of 42m, the monument commemorates the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army in the World War. Interestingly, the memorial bears the names of more than 13,000 British and Indian soldiers who were killed during the Afghan war of 1919.

#2 Feel the \'royalty\'

With the players in action in Delhi, royalty of Rajasthan is just a few hours away. A visit to the Amber fort in Jaipur or the Lake Palace of Udaipur, or a game of Elephant Polo in the Polo grounds of Jaipur, would surely rejuvinate their senses for the 2015 tennis season!

#1 Visit the Taj Mahal!

The most popular destination for foreignt tourists in India, the Taj Mahal is one of the wonders of the world. Built in the 17th century, the ‘Epitome of love’ is a must-visit for entire tennis fraternity in the Coca-Cola IPTL.
