What is Delhi
Delhi is said to be one of the oldest existing cities in the world, along with Damascus and Varanasi. Legend estimates it to be over 5,000 years old. Over the millennia, Delhi is said to have been built and destroyed 11 times.
Like the rest of the Gangetic Plains, Delhi is as flat as a pancake. The only geographical features of any significance are the river Yamuna, which flows down the eastern side of the city, and the Aravalli Hills, which form a wide but low arc across the west. The rest is an endless low-rise sprawl of suburbia and slums, with southern Delhi (nearer to New Delhi) generally somewhat wealthier and the western reaches rather poorer.
Delhi's climate is infamously bad, combining the scorching aridity of Rajasthan's deserts with the frigid cold of the Himalayas. From April to October, temperatures are scorchingly hot (over 40°C is common), and the monsoon rains deluge the city in July and August. With every air-conditioner running at full blast, the city's creaky infrastructure is often stretched beyond the breaking point, with power and water outages common. In winter, especially December and January, temperatures can dip to near-zero and the city is blanketed in thick fog, causing numerous flight cancellations. The shoulder seasons (Feb-Apr and Sep-Nov) are comparatively pleasant, with temperatures in the 20-30°C range, but short.

Good hotel in terms of value for money.
Tip: It takes about 10 minutes to actually get hot water in the showers.

Dude, these Sikhs are cool! The temple was a mixture of a market place and quiet decorative indoor hall. We paid a tiny donation and got some food from which to offer to the gods. I guess it means good luck for me for the coming year..

Go here and you'll get a grasp of Indian history, culture and art quickly. Efficient and tiring. :) The museum's collection is huge, presenting multiple perspectives of every era and style. Prepare for information overdose.

So many westerners dressed in orange here. We happened to be there right on time for the service. The heavy curtains before the altars were slowly opened - and some people started taking photos while others threw themselves on the floor to worship. Strange.

Despite the location, this hotel turned out a great choice. Not least because of the managers who knew how to run a good hotel and were able to provide what we needed. Nice roof terrace, free wifi, no gym.

India was known as the Land for the Golden Bird in the past because of richness of its culture. The country is highly advanced in the arts and sciences, due to which people from all over the world have a desire to visit India at least once. Tourists from all over the world visit the country to witness the remains of its old grandeur and experience its rich thriving culture. The Golden Triangle tour is very popular among international tourists as it covers three main cities of the country that reflect architectural and cultural richness of the Mughal era and that of Royal Rajasthan. The Golden Triangle in India includes a trip to the cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
