About New Delhi

New Delhi, the capital and the third largest city of India is a fusion of the ancient and the modern. Standing along the West End of Gangetic Plain, the capital city, Delhi, unwinds a picture rich with culture, architecture and human diversity, deep in history, monuments, museums, galleries, gardens and exotic shows. Comprising of two contrasting yet harmonious parts, the Old Delhi and New Delhi, the city is a travel hub of Northern India.

Narrating the city’s Mughal past, Old Delhi, takes you through the labyrinthine streets passing through formidable mosques, monuments and forts. You will also discover lively and colourful bazaars that boast to cater all sorts of good and items at mind-blowing prices amidst a barely controlled chaotic ambience. The imperial city of New Delhi displays the finely curved architecture of British Raj. It generates a mesmerizing charm reflecting well-composed and spacious streets under the shade of beautifully lined avenues of trees and tall and imposing government buildings.

Delhi has a wider range of accommodation from deluxe five star international-class luxury hotels, all modern with top-notch restaurants, 24-hour coffee shops, swimming pools, business desks, travel agents and shopping arcade, to middle-range hotels and guest houses offering good service and comfortable stay, and to down-market tourist lodges that are inexpensive.

The minimum and maximum temperature ranges from 3˚ C to 20˚ C during the first fortnight of January. Heavy woolens are recommended.
