Delhi Travel Tips

Some Delhi travel from my side. I hope these tips will help you your trip to the capital city much more. Just like every coin, the city also has two sides, one positive and one negative. To balance these two sides, you will be needing some dos and don't for Delhi travel. I am sharing with you some safety guidelines for Delhi, India, which I have followed during MY first visit:

  • Get all your bookings like hotel, travel, etc done in advance, before coming to Delhi. Also, make sure to check that the bookings are confirmed and in order.
  • Try to visit Delhi during the period of Feb-March and Sept-Nov. If you are planning to visiting this city some other month, you will be facing either extremely hot or extremely cold weather.
  • Beware of touts and agents when you go out for shopping and exercise discretion.
  • Except for the malls, upmarket areas and big showrooms, bargaining is prevalent everywhere. So, don't be shy to apply your bargaining Skills.
  • Keep your purses and wallets safely, especially while moving around in crowded places or in public transport.
  • The best person to consult in case you have got lost is the traffic policeman in complete white dress standing at the road intersections.
  • Take advice from the PCR vans parked nearby.
  • It is advisable to be a little conversant in Hindi. Try to carry a phrase book or phrase list with you all the time.
  • The female travelers should dress according to the area they are visiting in Delhi.
