FAQs

Is Delhi safe for solo female travelers?
Delhi has a reputation, but with precautions, it's manageable. Stick to well-lit areas, use metro (women-only coaches), avoid late nights alone, and use reputable cabs. Group tours are safer as you're always with others.
How many days are enough for Delhi?
For a group tour, 2-3 days is enough to cover the major highlights. If you want to explore deeper, add a day for markets and food walks.
What is the best way to get around Delhi?
The metro is efficient, cheap, and safe. For group tours, a private bus or van is common. Auto-rickshaws are good for short distances but negotiate the fare first.
Is street food safe to eat?
It's delicious but risky. Stick to popular vendors with high turnover, avoid raw salads and ice, and drink bottled water. Group tours often include hygienic food stops.
What should I wear to religious sites?
Dress modestly: cover shoulders and knees. Remove shoes before entering temples and mosques. Some sites provide robes or require head coverings.
Can I use credit cards everywhere?
Most hotels, restaurants, and shops accept cards. For street markets and small vendors, carry cash. ATMs are widespread.
Is Delhi expensive?
It's affordable compared to Western cities. Budget travelers can manage on ₹2,000-3,000/day, mid-range ₹5,000-8,000, luxury unlimited.
What are the must-see monuments?
Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, and Lotus Temple are top picks. Also, visit Chandni Chowk for the old city vibe.
Is it worth visiting Delhi in summer?
Only if you can handle heat. Many group tours avoid summer. If you go, plan indoor activities and stay hydrated.
Are there any scams to be aware of?
Yes, common scams include overcharging for rides, fake guides, and gem/jewelry tricks. Use official guides and pre-paid taxis. Be wary of 'free' temple visits that end up as sales pitches.
