Delhi<\/strong>, the capital
\nof India, is a busy bustling city. There are few sights in Delhi, but your
\ntime is perhaps better spent elsewhere. Agra<\/a> , home of the Taj Mahal, is the next stop for many travelers.<\/p>\n

Accommodation in Delhi<\/h2>\n

Paharganj<\/h4>\n

The Paharganj<\/strong> area
\nis where all the backpackers head. It is a dense, bustling main Bazaar, with a number of side streets. Accommodation is basic and cheap.  Look elsewhere for some comfort or peace and quiet.<\/p>\n

Transport<\/h2>\n

Trains<\/h3>\n

Delhi has several major railway stations.  Agra<\/a>, the first stop for many is only 2
\nhours away.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Delhi International Airport<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Delhi’s international airport is small in comparison to other major cities. A taxi from Paraganj costs about INR250.<\/p>\n

There is a visitors lounge<\/strong>, opposite the departures hall, where passengers are permitted to stay for up to 3 hours. The lounge costs INR30 and has comfortable chairs, televisions and basic drinks are available.<\/p>\n

Once you get past the security check point and into the departure lounge there is very little in the way of services. There is a small stand selling basic drinks and potato crisps. There are no money changing services, so change your Rupees before checking in.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
