About Delhi

India's capital and its main international gateway, Delhi suits a first base because the Metro reaches most of what visitors want, from the lanes of Old Delhi to Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb. Rooms range widely across Paharganj, Karol Bagh and the south of the city. Ticketed monuments add up if you visit several. Winter brings smog and fog delays; May and June are extremely hot.
