How to get around Delhi -

Getting around Delhi can be time-consuming because of traffic, so planning your sightseeing is key. The Delhi metro makes it easy for getting around Delhi in air-conditioned comfort, so you no longer have to stay in the centre of town. If you’re not going too far, you can always take an autorickshaw, also known as a tuk-tuks.

"Unwrap the layers of Delhi by eating at Chandni Chowk or shopping at Dilli Haat, by visiting ancient & medieval ruins scattered across the city or modern wonders like Lotus temple, by walking & bird watching in its gardens."
