Delhi

Delhi is one of the largest cities in India. Inside Delhi is New Delhi, the political capital of India and home to the government district and parliament buildings. Delhi has an interesting and very active nightlife, though, because it has a large population of young and wealthy Indians. Some of the most important sites in Delhi include the India Gate, the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, and Humayun's Tomb, the last three of which are World Heritage Sites. Many travelers visiting Delhi also complete the Golden Triangle by seeing Agra and Jaipur as well. It is a good bouncing-off place for trips to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, and it can also serve as a gateway to the Islamic state of Rajastan to the west. Indira Ghandi airport, one of India’s main airports, offers international and domestic flights – the later usually quite inexpensive. Be careful when visiting travel agents, the source of many scams in Delhi. The tourist office in the train station is often a far better source of assistance.
