I've just returned from my first trip to Delhi. I stayed at Hotel Le Roi (Near New Delhi Railway Station; delhihotelsleroi.com ). The hotel provides affordable accommodation and friendly personal service. Since this was my first visit to Delhi, I would like to tip future traveler to this city so that they have a hassle free, safe and pleasant stay. Here are some of my recommendations and tips:
- Don't necessarily avoid street food, but aim to eat food that you see cooked freshly in front of you. Packed mineral water is recommended for drinking.
- Book your hotel in advance. The city offers all types of hotels - from Luxury 5 Star to budget hotel. If you are a budget traveler, then hotels near New Delhi Railway Station and Karol Bagh are suitable for you.
- If you are coming from outside of India, then remember that you will find general public often curious and may ask personal questions! Don't be surprised if you are stared at.
- It is advisable to book a car for the day if you have a hectic schedule. Discourage Taxis and Auto-Rickshaw guys if they try to extract more money out of you.
- Beware of pickpockets. Be proactive; do not give in to any person wanting to guide you around. In case you get misguided or lose your way while traveling in the city, look for the nearest Police Control Room (PCR) Van or dial 100 for swift help.
- The best time to visit Delhi, India is between September to March as the climate is favourable.
- The reception of your hotel will help you in case you have any query about the location or city in general. Do not hesitate to ask.
