Delhi

Best time to visit

October to March

Delhi's climate is characterized by hot and dry summers, with temperatures soaring during the peak summer months, and a mild winter season from December to February, with occasional fog. The city experiences a brief monsoon season from July to September, bringing some relief from the heat.

Getting there & around

• Air — Indira Gandhi International Airport. New Delhi, Old Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway stations. The Delhi Metro, which reaches almost every site in this pack. NOTE: your page says rail connects Delhi to Pakistan
• Getting around — the Samjhauta Express has been suspended since 2019.

Before you go

• Distances are large - Qutb to the Red Fort is about 20 km and the Metro is faster than a car. Women should know the Nizamuddin access rule before going. Monument tickets differ sharply for Indian and foreign nationals. And Delhi's monuments are spread across eight historic cities that look alike to a newcomer
• without a layer to orient by, they blur.
