A
modern, yet traditional city rich in contrast and colour, you'll find a
harmonious blend of culture, cuisine, arts and architecture here. One of the
most fascinating aspects of Delhi is the "visibility" of its historic past.
Delhi's history goes much further back in time than the 13th century. Rulers
have come and gone. The city has lived through wars and resurrection,
repeatedly rising from the ashes. Brimming with energy, the national capital
offers you the rich experience of glorious past and modern city comforts.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast such as those at Paranthe wali gali, or
chaat at Bengali Market and Sunder Nagar, and sweetmeats from Annapoorna and
Ghantewala.
Delhi is also synonymous with the omnipresent tandoori chicken and tandoori
roti, which, when freshly had from the tandoor, makes a delicious meal. This is
often available at roadside dhabas at a moderate cost.
Then take a step back in time as you enter a Muslim mosque, Hindu temple and
Christian church - all in the same neighbourhood.
Return to the present by strolling down Karol Bagh, picking up the latest
fashion trends and electronic gizmos. Be wary of the touts, especially if you
are an overseas tourist. Simply ignore any one offering special services/
rates/ information etc. and stick to the designated, authorized service
providers if you do not want to be taken for a ride.
Plan your travel within Delhi keeping in mind the distances involved and the
mode of transport. Also remember that rush hours can be very taxing - even
though the Delhi traffic police has put in place various measures to streamline
traffic.
So, enjoy the best hospitality of Delhi citizens and get ready to travel in the
world class rapid transport mode Delhi has just bestowed upon its citizens –
the Delhi Metro.
