Visit to DILWALO ki City: DELHI

In the Misty Morning of 23^rd Dec, 2010, me along with my family reached New Delhi Railway Station with lot of high spirits for the Trip. A stranger (or a broker) advised us to go to Govt. tourism office & we were guided to ‘India Tourism Network’ in Pahar Ganj. The agent made big time bluff about the services also lied that they are not brokers, we got into a decent hotel named Sweet Homes (Rs1000/night for family room in which the agent had hidden commissions). While going to Ajmer from Delhi, in the cost of Deluxe sleeper buses, ‘India Tourism Network’ cheated us to ordinary sleeper buses far from the mentioned boarding spot.

Delhi tour through New Rajdhani Travels was another havoc, first of all there was no proper guide for tourists plus many spots were missed out stating not vital.

I really appreciated Delhi, being a shopaholic, I got a variety of markets selling range of articles. Few tips for my shopaholic friends. Connaught Place, Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk, Sundar Nagar, Hauz Khas village, and Dilli Haat are some fine Market places in Delhi. Go for bargains, except at Govt Emporiums, where prices are fixed.

Main Tourist Attractions in Delhi are listed below:

Akshardham Temple, Azad Hind Gram, Bahai Temple, Birla Mandir, Dilli Haat, Garden of Five Senses, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, Jama Masjid, Jantar Mantar, Lodi Tomb, Parliment House, Purana Quila, Qutab Minar, Safdarjang Tomb, Red Fort

“Guys please be careful of Brokers in every corner & hidden charges like service tax, food tax, etc in anywhere you go. Before making any arrangement/purchase/deal check the terms & conditions carefully. One important advice to all planning Delhi expedition, ‘be prepared to bargain hard’ for everything including, food travel, stay, shopping, etc.”
