Delhi - Delhi

For andre steder med samme navn, se Delhi (tvetydighed).

Delhi (Hindi: दिल्ली, Punjabi: ਦਿੱਲੀ, Urdu: دلّی) er Indienhovedstad og regeringssæde. Det danner det Nationale Hovedstadsterritorium Delhi snarere end at være en del af en stat. Delhi er en af ​​Indiens største byer og kernen i et af de største storbyområder i verden med over 21 millioner indbyggere. Inden for Indien er det et stort centrum for kunst, handel, uddannelse, turisme og transit. Som hovedstad i flere imperier i de sidste 2000 år indeholder Delhi også et slående udvalg af velbevarede historiske steder, som turisten kan besøge.

Forstå

Rejsende med ringe erfaring med at besøge udviklende storbyer vil opdage, at Delhi er kaotisk, overfyldt og meget af året forurenet. I det sene forår og de tidlige sommermåneder er byen brændende varm. Grav dog lidt dybere, og du får et glimt af orden under kaoset samt Indiens traditionelle og moderne kulturelle rigdom, der blomstrer side om side. Første gangs besøgende, der føler kulturchok, anbefales at ikke sammensætte det ved at besøge under ugunstige vejrforhold og få et anstændigt hotelværelse, så du kan bo komfortabelt mellem dine sightseeingture.

Historie

Med beviser for kontinuerlig bosættelse, der går tilbage til det 6. århundrede f.Kr., er Delhi en af ​​de ældste beboede byer i verden. Menes at være blevet bygget og ødelagt elleve gange, kan der stadig ses beviser for mindst otte forskellige bosættelser i Delhi. De mest velbevarede historiske steder er fra perioderne med muslimsk og britisk styre mellem 1193 og 1947.

Kort over tidlige bosættelser i Delhi

Den legendariske by Indraprastha fra den episke Mahabharata siges at have været beliggende, hvor Delhi nu ligger, men der er ikke fundet nogen rester af den.

Fra det 10. til det 14. århundrede var byen centreret i det, der nu er det sydlige Delhi:

  • 1 Surajkund - Bygget i det 9.-10. århundrede i det, der nu er den sydligste udkant af Delhi. Et stort vandreservoir kan ses, godt bevaret.
  • 2 Qila Rai Pithora (eller Rai Pithora) - Grundlagt i måske det 11. århundrede som en by ved navn "Lalkot" under hinduistisk styre i det nuværende Mehrauli-område. Omkring 1180 udvidede den hinduistiske hersker Prithviraj Chauhan denne by og omdøbte den til Qila Rai Pithora. Nogle af ruinerne af fæstningsvoldene fra denne periode er stadig synlige omkring Qutab Minar og Mehrauli.
  • 3 Mehrauli - Kort efter, i 1192, besejrede den muslimske leder Muhammad Ghori Prithviraj Chauhan i kamp. Ghori forlod sin slave Qutub-ud-din Aibak som sin vicekonge, der igen fangede Delhi det efterfølgende år. Efter Ghoris død i 1206 udråbte Qutub-ud-din sig selv som hersker over Delhi og grundlagde det, der er kendt som Slave-dynastiet i Delhi-sultanatet. Qutub-ud-din bidrog betydeligt med hensyn til arkitektur ved at bygge Mehrauli. Hans mest fremtrædende bidrag er starten på Qutub Minar (som endelig blev afsluttet i 1220). Gravene og andre bygninger nær Qutub Minar dateres også til denne periode.
  • 4 Siri - Slave-dynastiet blev efterfulgt af Khilji-dynastiet (eller Khalji-dynastiet). I 1303 etablerede de Siri, først som en militærlejr for at beskytte mod mulig mongolsk invasion, og senere som en befæstet by. I dag indeholder Hauz Khas-komplekset (nord for Mehrauli) ruiner af Siri Fort, en madrassa og andre bygninger fra perioden.
  • 5 Tughlakabad - Efter Khiljierne var der kaos, indtil Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq (en tyrkisk guvernør) invaderede Delhi i 1320'erne, startede Tughlaq-dynastiet og grundlagde en ny hovedstad Tughlakabad i Sydøstlige Delhi. Hans søn Muhammad Bin Tughlaq skabte en anden by ved navn Jahapanah i området mellem Siri og Qila Rai Pithora, der forenede dem til en by. Tughlakabad fortsatte dog med at være den største hovedstad.
Purana Qila - ruinerne af Shergarh

Begyndende i det 14. århundrede blev der bygget nye områder længere mod nord nær det nuværende centrum:

  • 6 Firozabad (eller Kotla Firoze Shah) - bygget af Muhammad Bin Tughlaqs søn, Firoze, i 1354. Der er stadig nogle ruiner, der er synlige omkring Feroz Shah cricketstadion i Central Delhi, nær floden. Byen var en lukket et stort område og indeholdt mange paladser, moskeer, søjlehaller og et vandreservoir med flere etager. Firoze rejste også en 1500 år gammel Ashokan-søjle (tidligere opført i Meerut af Samrat Ashok) oven på slottet. Firoze blev begravet inde i en høj grav i Hauz Khas. Efter hans død blev sultanatet ustabil og svag, og Delhi blev erobret og fyret af Tamerlane. Sayyid- og Lodhi-dynastierne, der regerede Delhi efter Tughlaqs, byggede mindre, og den eneste relevante arkitektur, der var synlig fra denne periode, er gravene ved Lodhi Gardens. Den sidste af Lodhis blev besejret af Babur, som derefter fortsatte med at etablere Mughal Empire i 1526.
Delhi Gate ved det røde fort
  • 7 Shergarh - I 1533 byggede Baburs søn Humayun den nye by Dinpanah nær floden syd for Firozabad. I 1540 blev Humayun besejret af Sher Shah Suri og tvunget til at trække sig tilbage fra Delhi. Sher Shah Suri etablerede den nye by Shergarh på ruinerne af Dinpanah. Shergarh er hvad du ser på Purana Qila i dag nær Delhi zoologiske have. Humayun genvandt senere Delhi og vendte tilbage til magten. Han afsluttede derefter opførelsen og fortsatte med at regere fra Shergarh.
  • 8 Shahjahanabad - de følgende kejsere flyttede væk fra Delhi og lavede Agra deres kapital. Shahjahan (Humayuns oldebarn) vendte tilbage til Delhi og etablerede Shahjahanabad (moderne Old Delhi), inklusive Jama Masjid og det røde fort. Meget af bymuren og tre af dens seks porte eksisterer stadig i dag.
  • 9 Lutyens New Delhi - New Delhi blev grundlagt i 1911, efter at briterne besluttede at flytte Indiens hovedstad fra Kolkata. Det er en planlagt by, designet af arkitekt Sir Edwin Lutyens.

Demografi

Ikke alle efterkommere af bygherrer fra Delhis mange muslimske monumenter bor i Delhi. Mange af dem migrerede til Pakistan under delingen, med samfundet i det gamle Delhi, der holder gamle høflige traditioner i live mindre end det engang var. Byen er rig på monumenter, herunder 174 ASI-beskyttede monumenter.

Befolkningen i Delhi er en heterogen blanding af mennesker, der oprindeligt tilhører forskellige dele af det nordlige Indien og videre. Blandt de fremtrædende nordindiske samfund er Punjabis. Delhi har også et fremtrædende sydindisk samfund, primært i kvarterer som Karol Bagh, RK Puram, Mayur Vihar og Munirka. En bengalsk bosættelse, Chittaranjan Park i det sydlige Delhi, er Mini Calcutta i Delhi. Kvalitetsuddannelse tiltrækker også studerende fra forskellige stater og udgør en af ​​de mest forskellige studenterpopulationer i landet.

Orientering

Ligesom resten af ​​Gangetic Plains er Delhi lige så flad som en pandekage. De eneste geografiske træk af nogen betydning er floden Yamuna, der løber ned ad den østlige side af byen, og Aravalli Hills, der danner en bred, men lav bue over vest. På vestbredden er den overfyldte og overbelastede gamle (centrale) Delhi og mod sydvest de brede, træklædte veje i New Delhi, bygget af briterne for at herske over deres imperium. Resten er en endeløs lavtliggende udbredelse af forstæder og slumkvarterer, hvor det sydlige Delhi generelt er rigere.

Klimaet i Delhi gennemgår fem forskellige årstider. Vinteren fra december til januar er kold (temperaturen falder til næsten at fryse om natten, selvom dagene er varme) og er berygtet for den tykke tåge, der hænger over byen, hvilket resulterer i aflyste flyvninger og forsinkede tog. Foråret i månederne februar og marts er behageligt med varme dage og kølige aftener. Sommeren, i april og maj, er ubehageligt varmt med temperaturer, der er så høje som 45 ° C. Temperaturerne er moderate i løbet af monsonsæsonen (juni til september), men det er fugtigt. Efteråret, fra oktober til november, bringer varme dage med relativt kølige nætter.

 New Delhi
Den britisk-byggede hovedstad i Indien. Karakteriseret ved brede boulevarder, rundkørsler (trafikcirkler), koloniale palæer og regeringsbygninger fyldt med monumenter fra forskellige dele af Indiens historie. Connaught Place (nu kaldet Rajiv Chowk) og Khan Market er populære indkøbscentre, og det nærliggende Paharganj-område har mange billige hoteller. New Delhi og Nizamuddin jernbanestationer og en række metrostationer er her.
 Central Delhi
Indeholder den historiske kerne af Delhi, også kendt som Old Delhi, med store turistattraktioner som det røde fort og Jama Masjid. Delhi Junction jernbanestation er her. Den røde metrolinje løber øst-vest her, og den gule linje løber nord-syd.

Tale

Modersmål i Delhi-området er Hindi, hvilket også tilfældigvis er det vigtigste officielle sprog for EU-regeringen. Hindi tales af næsten alle lokale, ganske ofte med Bihari og Punjabi accenter. De fleste uddannede mennesker behersker også engelsk, og mange købmænd og taxachauffører har en funktionel beherskelse af engelsk. Punjabi og Urdu er også de officielle sprog i Delhi, som begge tales / forstås bredt af lokalbefolkningen. Det hindi, der tales i Delhi, er ret persisk, svarende til det hindi, der tales i Vestlige Uttar Pradesh, og meget mindre sanskritiseret end det hindi, der tales på Madhya Pradesh. Skiltning er normalt tosproget på hindi og engelsk, og nogle vejskilte (især i det sydlige og centrale Delhi) er på hindi, engelsk, punjabi og urdu. Meddelelser om metroen er på hindi (mandlig stemme) og engelsk (kvindelig stemme). I modsætning til andre større byer er lokalbefolkningen ikke flersproget, og lokale rejseguider taler ikke andre indiske sprog. Selvom folk fra hele Indien bor i Delhi, er det ikke så let at finde en person, der kan tale andre indiske sprog.

Hop ind

Med fly

  • 1 Indira Gandhi Internationale Lufthavn (DEL IATA, undertiden forkortet som IGI). er ankomstpunktet for mange besøgende til Delhi. Der er flere sikkerhedskontroller i lufthavnen, og du skal muligvis vise dit boardingkort og pas et dusin gange inden du går ombord på flyet. Når du forlader Delhi fra den internationale terminal, skal du ankomme tre timer før afgangstidspunktet. For indenrigsflyvninger skal to timer være tilstrækkeligt, afhængigt af om du skal vente i køen for at kontrollere bagage eller ej. Mens det nogle gange er tidskrævende, er processen glat, og den nye terminalens butikker og restauranter ligger fornuftigt ved gateområdet, ikke før sikkerhed. Men hvis du ønsker at ændre rupees til udenlandsk valuta, skal du gøre dette inden du rydder sikkerhed. Indira Gandhi Internationale Lufthavn (Q821275) på Wikidata Indira Gandhi International Airport på Wikipedia 

Om vinteren oplever Delhi ofte tyk tåge og synligheden reduceres betydeligt, hvilket gør det vanskeligt for flyvninger til at lande og starte. Både internationale og indenrigsflyvninger omdirigeres, annulleres eller forsinkes ofte.

Delhi lufthavn har tre operationelle terminaler:

  • 2 Terminal 1D (Palam, indenlandsk), Terminal 1 A Rd, ☏ 91 88004 93897. Dette bruges kun af lavprisselskaber IndiGo, GoAIR og SpiceJet. (Mærkeligt nok deres flyvninger ankomme ved tilstødende Terminal 1C) 
  • Terminal 2, tidligere kun i brug under Hajj-pilgrimsrejsen til flyvninger til Mekka og Medina, bruges også nu til visse GoAir-, IndiGo- (6E 2xxx) og SpiceJet (SG 8xxx) indenrigsflyvninger.
  • 3 Terminal 3, T3 ankomstvej (Metro (Orange linje) 'I.G.I. Lufthavnsstationen lige her fører dig til byens centrum). Denne enorme hovedterminal bruges af alle internationale flyvninger og alle indenrigsflyselskaber med fuld service inklusive Vistara og Air India. 

En gratis bus kører mellem terminalerne hvert 20. minut; bussen er dog kun gratis for ankomne passagerer med videreforbindelsesbilletter i den anden terminal. Alternativt kører offentlig bybus nr. 4 (₹ 25) den samme rute og kræver ikke en flybillet. Mens terminalerne deler de samme landingsbaner, kræver forbindelsen mellem de to en massiv omvej via en nærliggende motorvej, så tag op til 20 minutter til at foretage overførslen.

Flyselskaber

Lufthavnen fungerer som en navby for indenlandske flyselskaber som f.eks Air Asia, Air India, GoAir, IndiGo, SpiceJet og Air Vistara.

Internationale flyselskaber inkluderer Aeroflot, Air Arabia, Air Canada, Air China, Air Mauritius, Air France, Air Asia, Alle Nippon Airways, Alitalia, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Emirates, Ethiopian Airlines, Etihad Airways, FinnairFlydubai Japan Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch, Korean Air, MEGE polske flyselskaber, Lufthansa, Malaysia Airlines, Oman Air, Singapore Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Qatar Airways, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines, Ukraine International Airlines, United Airlinesog Virgin Atlantic.

At rejse mellem lufthavnen og byen

  • Delhi lufthavn Metro Express er en toglinje, der kører mellem New Delhi Metro Station og Dwarka Sector 21 med stop ved lufthavnens terminal 3. Togene kører hvert tiende minut i spidsbelastningstid; se hjemmesiden for den nøjagtige tidsplan. Turen til New Delhi Metro Station tager 20 minutter og koster ₹ 60 (aug. 2017). Fra jernbanestationen kan du overføre til metroen (krydser byens gade for at nå stationen).
  • Magenta Line fra Terminal 1 til West Delhi og Noida, mere som en almindelig metro og er derfor mere begrænset, bedst for dem, der har mindre bagage
  • Delhi Transport Corporation og EATS (Ex Serviceman's Airlink Transport Service) køre busser mellem lufthavnen og byen 24 timer i døgnet. Rejsetiden er ca. 50 minutter, og prisen er ₹ 50 per voksen, ₹ 25 pr. Barn under 12 år, ₹ 25 for tung bagage. Busser kører til ISBT (Inter State Bus Terminal) nær Kashmiri Gate, Connaught Place, Delhi Station og mange hoteller i byens centrum, der afgår fra begge lufthavnsterminaler hvert 60. minut fra 10: 00-23: 20. Billetter kan købes, og et fast sæde kan bookes ved et skrivebord i ankomsthallen.
  • Taxaer fra lufthavnen skal kun bookes fra gule forudbetalte taxa kabiner drives af Delhi-politiet. Der er en, der ligger lige uden for lufthavnen, og en, der ligger i nærheden af ​​udlejningsbiltællerne til højre for udgangsdørene. Du kan blive kontaktet af touts, der tilbyder forudbetalte taxaer; bare ignorere dem, da der er rapporteret om sikkerhedshændelser. Det er det værd at vente i den lange kø på en forudbetalt taxa. En forudbetalt taxa til byens centrum koster 500-600 £. Ignorer eventuelle anmodninger fra chaufføren om yderligere betaling. Der er ingen praksis med at tippe taxachauffører overalt i Indien. Når du når din destination, skal du først tage dine tasker og derefter give chaufføren kvitteringen og gå væk uden yderligere diskussion. Bemærk, at taxaer rutinemæssigt sidder fast i trafikken i myldretiden, men rejsen til byens centrum er meget hurtigere om natten.
  • Forudbestemt afhentning er også tilgængelige fra de fleste hoteller. Omkostningerne kan være dobbelt så meget (eller mere) fra de forudbetalte taxa-kabiner, men du vil have nogen, der venter på dig i lufthavnen med dit navn på et skilt, og du behøver ikke at vente i taxakøen.
  • Uber er relativt ligetil og opkræver omkring 500 £ for at komme ind i byen. Din Uber kommer til det generelle afhentningsområde (som ikke er for organiseret).

Andre lufthavne

Hindon lufthavn (HDX IATA) i Ghaziabad tjener nogle regionale flyvninger som en civil enklave inde i en luftbase. Det er planlagt at være åben, indtil yderligere udvidelse hos IGI er afsluttet.

På grund af massiv vækst i flyrejser bygges der en ny lufthavn ved Jewar.

Med bus

Busser ankommer fra Kathmandu og Chitwan i Nepal (36 timer) og næsten alle byer i Indien. Selvom det ikke er så behageligt som togene, er busser det eneste valg for nogle destinationer, især dem i bjergene.

Delhi har tre store mellemstatslige busterminaler (ISBT'er) - Kashmere Gate ISBT, Sarai Kale Khan ISBT og Anand Vihar ISBT. Det Delhi Transport Corporation er den største operatør, men hver stat driver også sine egne busser, og der er også nogle private operatører.

  • 4 Kashmere Gate ISBT (Maharana Pratap) (Metro Kashmere Gate, linje 1/2), ☏ 91 11 43090100, ✉. Dette er "den" ISBT og den største af partiet. Busser til punkter nordpå: Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Garwhal, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu og Kashmir og Nepal 
  • 5 Sarai Kale Khan ISBT (Vir Hakikat Rai) (ved siden af ​​Hazrat Nizamuddin jernbanestation). Busser til punkter sydpå, (Agra, Madhya Pradesh) 
  • 6 Anand Vihar ISBT (Swami Vivekanand) (På den østlige bred af Yamuna, M: Anand Vihar). Busser til punkter øst (Heldigvis, Kumaon) 
  • 7 Bikaner House, Pandara Rd, New Delhi (M: Central sekretariat Station). busstoppested. Busser, inklusive Volvo-busser med aircondition fra Jaipur ankomme til dette sted. For rejser mellem Jaipur og Delhi er dette busstoppested meget rent, mindre overfyldt end ISBT og let at nå. 
  • 8 Majnu ka Tilla, Nye Aruna Nagar, (Tibetansk koloni, en kort rickshaw-tur fra Metro Vidhan Sabha). Busser til Dharamsala 

Med tog

Introduktion

Når du har købt en billet enten i billetkontoret eller online inden rejsen, skal du bare gå til den jernbanevogn, der er mærket med din købte serviceklasse. Du kan enten komme på og sidde i det første ledige sæde, eller for højere serviceklasser vil de ofte placere en passagerliste på bilen, når den stopper. Se efter dit navn og gå til den tildelte bil, kabine og sæde. Der er aldrig behov for at få et boardingkort, så hvis nogen kommer ud af mængden for at fortælle dig det, skal du ikke lytte til dem; det er en fidus. Hvis du er modig, kan du simpelthen købe en generel billet til 2. klasse og derefter gå på enhver bil, hvor der er ledighed. Dirigenten kommer forbi og tjekker dine billetter, når toget begynder at køre. Hvis du er i en højere billetklasse, end du har billet til, skal du blot betale forskellen i billetprisen til dirigenten. Den eneste risiko her er, at toget kan være fyldt, og du kan sidde fast i den laveste billetklasse, som kan være meget overfyldt med lidt plads til at sidde.

Billetkøb: Den nemmeste måde er at booke online via Indiske jernbaner bookingwebsted. Registrering kræver verifikation af en e-mail-adresse OG et indisk mobiltelefonnummer. Hvis du ikke har telefonen, kan bekræftelsen udføres manuelt ved at sende en pas-scanning via e-mail til IRCTC - følg onlineanvisningerne nøje og forvent et svar om en uge eller to.

Lade være med stole på fremmede, der ser ud af mængden for at hjælpe dig; ignorere dem. Bed altid om hjælp ved efterforskningstælleren eller politifolk (i khaki-uniform).

Enhver, der nærmer sig spontant, burde være det fuldstændig ignoreret. Brug en af ​​portørerne (i orange uniformer med metalarmearmer) til at finde dit tog og bære din bagage i bytte for et tip.

Stationer og billetkontorer

  • 9 Delhi Junction station (Old Delhi eller Purani Dilli) (M 2: Chandni Chowk station. Der er en indgang lige udenfor i den østlige ende af stationen og også lige over hovedvejen uden for (sidste metro ca. kl. 11:30). Hvis du tager en Auto Rickshaw herfra, prøver det forudbetalte skrivebord ofte at opkræve dig så meget som tre gange den faktiske pris, der er angivet i den officielle prisguide, der vises tydeligt i vinduet - forhandlinger er desværre ofte billigere.).

At komme rundt i Delhi er altid et eventyr. Trafikken er stort set forfærdeligt overbelastet, og mange chauffører synes ikke noget om at citere ti gange den igangværende pris til en turist. Brug nedenstående priser som brede retningslinjer, aftale priser Før sætter af. Den bedste måde at rejse på er via metro, hvor der er separate hytter til kvinder (som viser sig at være meget nyttige i myldretiden). Metro er ren, effektiv og køres typisk af relativt velhavende middelklassestuderende eller pendlere på vej til / fra arbejde; der er næsten ingen steder i byen, som du ikke kan komme til med metro.

Med metro

Den moderne Delhi Metro, et tegn på Indiens økonomiske udvikling
Delhi Metro og jernbanenet

Den hurtigt voksende Delhi Metro netværk giver en billig, hurtig, problemfri og airconditioneret måde at lynlåse rundt i byen. Fra maj 2018 er følgende linjer åbne:

  • Røde linje: Dilshad Garden - Rithala
  • Gul linje: Samaypur Badli - HUDA Centrum, Gurgaon
  • Blå linje: Dwarka Sector 21 - Noida Electronic City
    • Blue Line gren: Yamuna Bank - Vaishali
  • Grøn linje: Mundka - Inderlok
    • Green Line gren: Ashok Park Main - Kirti Nagar
  • Violet Line: Kashmere Gate - Escorts Mujesar
  • Airport Express: New Delhi Togstation - Lufthavn - Dwarka
  • Magenta Line: Janakpuri West - Botanisk Have
  • Pink Line: Majilis Park - Shiv Vihar

Priserne varierer fra £ 10-60, bare køb et token, skift linjer efter behov, og deponér token i slotten, når du går ud. Tokens kan kun bruges fra den station, de er købt, så du kan ikke købe to og bruge den anden til at vende hjem. Hvis du planlægger at holde fast i et stykke tid, kan du købe et "Smart Card" til 100 kr., Som er en værdi af 50 kr og inkluderer et depositum på 50 kr. Brug af dette sparer 10% og vigtigere, lader dig undgå køerne. Der er også et "turistkort", der tillader ubegrænset brug for 150 kr. (1 dag) eller 300 kr (3 dage), men det er meget usandsynligt, at du rejser nok til at få dette til at betale sig. Særlige priser gælder for rejser med Airport Express. I myldretiden bliver du muligvis i kø i 20 minutter på grund af sikkerhedskontrol, især i de centrale stationer.

Især den gule linje (linje 2) er nyttig til at komme til Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid) og New Delhi jernbanestationer, ISBT-busterminalen, backpacker-ghettoen i Paharganj, Hauz Khas og Qutub Minar. Den blå linje (linje 3) er også praktisk til at besøge Akshardham og få adgang til de vestlige dele af Paharganj gennem RK Ashram Marg station.

Pas på: Metrostationer bruger alle de nye, officielle, indianiserede navne, så Connaught Place er "Rajiv Chowk", Old Delhi Railway Station er "Chandni Chowk" og ISBT er "Kashmere Gate".

Den første træner i hvert tog er kun forbeholdt kvinder, hvis det overtrædes, straffes det. Mandlige passagerer, der ledsager kvinder, er også forbudt.

Vær opmærksom på, at hvis du ønsker at afslutte ved en hovedstation i myldretiden, bliver du nødt til at tackle dig igennem for at komme ud, før den modsatte strøm af passagerer skubber dig ind igen. Vær ikke bange for at bruge din styrke til at skubbe dig ud.

Med lokaltog

Der er begrænsede pendeltjenester på Delhis jernbaner, men faciliteterne er langt fra de brugervenlige metrostationer. For det meste er togstationer ubelejligt placeret. Der er ingen passagertrafik på Delhi Ring Railway uden for myldretiden.

Det indiske jernbanes websted accepterer ikke udenlandske kreditkort.

Med bus

Du er aldrig alene på en bus i Delhi

Alle dele af Delhi er godt forbundet med busser, og med billetter fra £ 15-15 er de meget billige, men de er også ret overfyldte det meste af tiden. De rødfarvede busser har aircondition, og de grønne er ikke. Da busstoppesteder ikke har skrevet busruter korrekt, kan det være svært at finde vej. At spørge andre mennesker ved busstoppestedet er ofte den bedste måde at finde ud af om busruter til din destination. Imidlertid er busserne ret hyppige og kører hvert 15.-20. Minut eller deromkring på de fleste ruter. Der er to slags busser i Delhi:

  • Regeringskørsel DTC busser (rød og grøn farvet med store vinduer)
  • Privatdrevet Blue-Line busser (orange farvet)

Hvis du har et valg, skal du vælge en DTC-bus. De stopper sjældnere og vil generelt også være mindre overfyldte. Bemærk, at mange busser, også DTC, stopper stort set hvor som helst, hvis der er nok mennesker, der stiger af eller på.

Gå ombord på busser og betal billetsælgeren, der sidder lige ved siden af ​​døren. Sørg for at hænge på dine billetter, da billetcheck er ret hyppig. Nogle pladser på venstre side af bussen kan være forbeholdt kvinder og handicappede. Når det er tid til afstigning, skal du flytte dig foran bussen. Som du måske forventer, ignoreres alle disse retningslinjer regelmæssigt, når busser er meget overfyldte.

Hop på Hop af

Hop på Hop ud af Delhi turistbus
  • HOHO, ☏ 91 11 4094 0000 (Hjælplinje). Delhi Tourism driver en Hop On Hop Off-busforbindelse. En flåde med luftkonditionerede busser med lavt gulv følger et foruddefineret sæt stop rundt i byen, og passagererne kan hoppe fra bussen, se stedet efter egen bekvemmelighed og hoppe på den næste bus. Tjenesten kører med et interval på 45 minutter og dækker vigtige monumenter, mindesmærker, museer og shoppingsteder i byen. Hver bus er bemandet med en kyndig engelsktalende guide. Billetten koster £ 300 og er gyldig i 2 på hinanden følgende dage. Tjenesten fungerer ikke om mandagen. 

Med taxa

Officiel taxa

EN taxa eller lejet bil (normalt med chauffør) kræves for at se mange af de fjerntliggende steder i og omkring Delhi. Metroen er dog en langt billigere og lige så behagelig mulighed.

De fleste Delhi-taxier er gamle, men pålidelige CNG-drevne ambassadører eller Omnis i særpræg sort og gul livery og en grøn stribe. Den valgte lejede familiebil er normalt en Toyota Innova eller Chevrolet Tavera. Mens alle er udstyret med målere og skulle gerne koster £ 15 for den første km ₹ 8,5 pr. km, målerne er ofte rigget, og det er bedre at aftale prisen på forhånd. De fleste ture rundt i byen skal være 200-500 £, mens en tur til lufthavnen ville være højere afhængigt af startplacering. Et otte timers charter skal koste omkring 1.500 kr., Og der forventes et tip, hvis chaufføren er hjælpsom. Priserne vil også afhænge af køretøjets størrelse. Bemærk, at sorte og gule taxaer ikke har aircondition. Selvom de har aircondition, vil du blive opkrævet ekstra (og priserne er op til chaufføren, så forhandle hårdt).

Ambassadørens dødsfald blev ringet i december 2006, da den var moderne radio taxa tjenester blev lanceret. Til £ 20 / km er de mere listeprisen for konkurrencen, men de bruger moderne køretøjer med aircondition og GPS og kan ringes op 24 timer i døgnet. Flagprisen er £ 20, og billetprisen stiger med £ 5 for hver 250 m efter den første km. Hvis du har brug for en SUV, skal du informere virksomheden på forhånd, men billetprisen forbliver den samme. Night charges (25% extra) apply between 23:00 to 05:00. Book up to a few hours in advance. Many corporate people rely on these cabs for their daily commute and they may be booked during office hours. Tipping is not expected. After booking, you will receive an SMS with the car licence plate number, and the driver's name and mobile number. Usually the driver will call you and inform you that they have arrived. Many drivers speak English at a very basic level, so use short phrases.

You can use TaxiPixi services and avoid all the hassle. Download the app on your iPhone/Android.

Don't take non-official taxis, they might take you to wrong hotels, or to a "tourist information centre", and try to sell you overpriced things. To be on the safe side, Check that whether the driver has their official documentation or not.

Transportation Network Taxis

Delhi is also serviced by various transportation network ("ridesharing") companies including Uber and Ola Cabs. Make sure to check the tariffs in these before you pay. While most of these services accept cash, many can also be linked to online wallet services like Paytm, so overcharging is rarely a risk.

By auto rickshaws

Auto-rickshaws - no doors

Auto rickshaws (also called three-wheeled scooters, tuk-tuks or simply autos) are good for shorter trips. Always in a distinctive yellow-and-green livery, auto rickshaws are three-wheeled partially enclosed contraptions that run on CNG and can seat three people in the back. In general, they are much cheaper than taxis and can be hailed from the street. Although by law the rickshaw drivers should charge according to the meter in their vehicle (₹25 for the first two km, ₹8/km after), this rate is unrealistically low and they will almost always try to haggle for price. Try to negotiate a price before entering the vehicle. As rules of thumb, expect even the shortest journey to cost ₹30-40/person regardless of the meter, but you should never need to pay over ₹150 for any trip within the city. If you're overquoted, don't be afraid to walk away. It's usually easy to find another one soon, usually with a driver who won't rip you off.

If you have any trouble with drivers, go to any of the numerous tourist police stations in the city centre and they will give you a complaint slip which will result in a ₹500 fine for the auto driver. There should also be a telephone number written on the vehicle to call in case of any complaint.

There are a number of "Pre-paid" auto stands run by the Police. Tell them where you want to go and pay them upfront. The charge will include ₹5 for the service. You then take the coupon and stand outside where a policeman will direct you to the next available Auto. When your journey is completed you hand the coupon to the auto driver and that's it. Nothing more to pay (despite what they may say).

By cycle rickshaws

Traffic in Old Delhi's Chawri Bazaar, facing Jama Masjid

Cycle rickshaws are three-wheeled, pedal/electric powered rickshaws with seats in the back to seat passengers and a driver in the front. They are good for short distances, or places which are too far to walk but too short for taking a bus/taxi/auto rickshaw. Cycle rickshaws don't use meters, so establish a price before getting on. ₹20-50 is reasonable for most journeys of a few km.

Cycle rickshaws are best to use in Old Delhi to visit the intricate galis (walkways) and to enjoy the smells and sounds of the city.

By Electric Rickshaws

Electric rickshaws, popularly known as tuk-tuk or e-rickshaws, are also used to enjoy the streets of Old Delhi. These are battery-operated alternatives to auto rickshaws and cycle rickshaws because of their low fuel cost, and less human effort compared to cycle rickshaws.

On foot

Much of Delhi is quite pedestrian-hostile. Distances are long, road signage is poor, and in the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Crossing roads often involves wading across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow. If you really want to walk around, these places would be good:

  • Walk from Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's house) to India Gate on the Rajpath (a walk of close to 3–4 km).
  • Walk from Jama Masjid to Red Fort in the Chandni Chowk area.
  • Far South Delhi go walk about in the forest. Try starting from south of Indian Institute of Technology through Sanjay Van to Qutub Minar. Note however that Sanjay Van is not always safe, and it is advisable to go there in a group, preferably during daylight.
  • South Delhi-Green Park-Hauz Khas Village, then to the Hauz Khas ruined madrasa, offers a newer shopping area, an up-market arts village, old ruins, and some quality gardens.

Se

Delhi is known for its impressive range of structures - fortifications, mosques, and tombs - built during the centuries when Delhi was the center of large Muslim empires. There are literally dozens of notable sites scattered around the city, and several of them are internationally famous as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The most visited sites are the Red Fort (the 17th century palace of the Mughal emperor), Jama Masjid (a vast and beautiful 17th century mosque), the Qutub Minar (a 73-meter high tower, dating to the 13th century but still with well-preserved intricate carvings), Humayun's Tomb (the vast 16th century tomb of a Mughal emperor), and Purana Qila (a 16th-century Mughal citadel).

Newcomers are often confused about the relationship between Delhi and New Delhi. In fact, New Delhi, which is the capital of India, is one of the districts of Delhi city. New Delhi began to be built in 1911. Being centrally planned in the modern era, it features wide boulevards, large parks, and roundabouts between its government buildings. Popular sights here are the India Gate, the Rajpath "national mall" connecting the main government buildings, and the Rashtrapati Bhavan (presidential palace). Many of the most important museums in Delhi are located here too.

Another popular attraction is the Bahá'í Lotus Temple in South East Delhi, a modern structure built with a flowerlike shape. It is arguably the most visited building in the world.

Detailed listings of all sights in Delhi can be found in the district articles.

Beware

There are various private "tourist information" offices around Connaught Place openly claiming to be the official government tourist office. They're actually just travel agents that have nothing to do with the Government of India, and since they prey on tourists, anything you buy from them will be grossly overpriced compared to doing it yourself.

The staff at the Delhi tourist office is very helpful, and the office has a lot of free information:

  • 1 The Government of India Tourist Office, 88 Janpath, Connaught Place, ☏ 91 11 2332 0005, 91 11 2332 0008, 91 11 2332 0109, 91 11 2332 0266. The Government of India Tourist Office offers daily tours, coverings all of the major Delhi sites. If you should choose to go with the government-sanctioned day tour, be aware that due to the heavy agenda, you will need to have a quick foot, only 20-40 min are given for each sight, which is next to no time. Consider this day tour as a sampler. If there is a sight of particular interest, bookmark it and return at a later date. 

Gør

  • Take a walk at Connaught Place (CP), the heart of New Delhi. The British-designed colonial equivalent of a shopping mall, it's laid out in two concentric rings divided into blocks, all bursting with shops and lots of pampered pigeons waddling about. Long neglected, the area received an upsurge after the opening of the major Metro junction of Rajiv Chowk under it, and it's going more upmarket by the day. At the centre is a small but pleasant park, while on one edge is the notorious Palika Bazaar, an underground den of cheap wares, many pirated or smuggled from overseas. The area is surrounded by tall office buildings on nearly all sides. Train fans will want to check out the Metro Museum inside the (Patel Chowk) station, open 10:00-16:00, Tue-Sun (free with valid Metro ticket).

Learn

Delhi is a key centre of learning in India. The most famous universities in Delhi are JNU, DU, IGNOU, DTU, JMI and IIT. The official website of the Delhi Government's Directorate of Education is a good starting point for learning more about study opportunities in Delhi.

Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are many training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. Besides conventional educational institutes, more and more foreigners also make the effort to learn Hindustani language (Hindi-Urdu) and Delhi is these languages.

Work

Delhi's economy is expanding rapidly. In analogy many interesting work opportunities emerge. Monster, Jobted and other online job platforms are a good starting point to see what kind of jobs are on offer. Traditionally foreigners often work in the social sector or in teaching. Increasingly, however, expats work for multinational companies and even local Indian companies.

There is a great variety of employment opportunities in Delhi for foreigners, whether they would like to work in business, NGOs, educational institutes, or even government. Still, there is one caveat: the labour market in Delhi is highly competitive and so at many prestigious organisations, the number of applicants far exceeds the number of positions available, which allows employers to receive highly talented applicants for rather meagre salaries (especially when compared to other international destinations).

fabindia - a clothing chain store

If you're not afraid to haggle and bump elbows in bazaars, Delhi is a great place to shop. Most of the well-known bazaars are located in the most central parts of Delhi, both Central Delhi og New Delhi. Western-style malls are plentiful, and are found further south - in South Delhi og South East Delhi, as well as the suburbs of Gurgaon og Noida. Many shopping districts are over crowded on Saturdays and closed on Sundays.

See district articles for specific listings.

Clothing

For clothing, you can go either to the bazaars, or to Western-style shopping malls (mostly in the southern areas).

Computers

Nehru Place

For computers og software, the best place to look is Nehru Place IT market complex in South East Delhi, an interesting combination of modern technology products and old world marketplace sales techniques. You can find cheap hardware here as well as both original and pirated software. There are also several similar markets in other parts of Delhi, mostly in the Western districts.

Books

The Indian book industry is huge, producing annually about 15,000 books in English, and obviously far more in Hindi and other native languages. Delhi is hub of this industry, so small, specialist bookstores abound. Locally produced books can be very inexpensive and many popular Western titles are published and available here for a fraction of their original cost.

In general, good places to buy books are in Central Delhi (Daryaganj neighborhood and the Nai Sarak Bookshop Area), plus shopping malls in the south of the city.

Det Daryaganj Sunday Book Market is a flea market-book market open on Sundays from 10am to evening, with a vast selection. Bargain for best prices.

Spise

Sweet jalebis are very popular in Delhi

Delhiites complain about many things in their city, but the food will satisfy even the most demanding gourmet. Not only can you find some of the best Indian food on the subcontinent, there is also an increasing number of excellent (if often pricey) international restaurants offering cuisine from around the world. When ordering, do remember that Delhi is about 1,000 km from the nearest ocean, so vegetarian, chicken and mutton dishes are the way to go.

Do visit Paranthe Wali Gali in Chandni Chowk. This street has shops that make and sell solely parathas (stuffed Indian bread). These are available in all the possible flavours and stuffing you may imagine, with hundreds of varieties from bitter-gourd to ice cream.

Delhi has arguably the best street food in India. However, do not eat unhygienic or open food. There are plenty of restaurants offering street food in a potentially more hygienic environment.

You can join local groups of foodies who go out regularly to sample and savour what new and old dishes the city has to offer. If you want a fully customized food tour tailored specifically for you, then Food Tour In Delhi is a good choice. The guests can explore street food of Delhi in a fun and safe manner. Their tours cover food joints which are in business for 50 to 120 years and serve some of the best street food in world. The tours cover winding streets of Old Delhi as well as swanky upscale markets located all over the city. The food tours are lead by chefs and culinary experts with extensive experience and offer facilities such as pickup and drop, unlimited food which covers all major varieties of food available in city. Another one of the most active groups is Food Enthusiasts of Delhi. They organize regular food walks, better known as Raids to various parts and joints in the city. It's a non-commercial group, brought together by passion and love for food.

Budget

Chaat

If you want to eat chaat, the North Indian street side snack food, Delhi is the place to be. Like Spanish tapas or Greek mezze, chaat can cover a vast variety of things, but Delhi style tends to mean a deep-fried pastry shell, stuffed after cooking with potatoes, lentils or almost anything else. They're then topped with yogurt, chutneys and chaat masala spice mix and eaten fresh.

Some typical chaat items are paapdi chaat (a mix of small round fried crispy things with yogurt and other sauces), paneer tikka (cubes of cottage cheese baked in a tandoor with spices), pani puri or golguppa (small round hollow shells filled with a potato-based filling and a spicy sweet blend of sauces).

Haldirams RajKachori.JPG

The best place to go for chaat is the Bengali Market (near Mandi House Metro Stn) near Connaught Place in the centre of town. The restaurants are high quality and the food is great. There are ATMs as well. One of the best known restaurants there is Nathu's. But for the really good chaat you have to make your way to Old Delhi, and particularly to Ashok's near Chawri Bazaar. While connoisseurs insist that the best chaat is prepared on the street, most travellers try to find a comfortable middle ground between hygiene and authenticity.

  • Amritsari Kulcha Wala, Paschim Vihar Red Light, (near Jwala Heri Market). If you are into amritsari kulcha, you probably can't miss this. People on dieting beware: the amount of butter that the vendor puts in is huge. However, without it you will not enjoy the Amritsari Kulcha so much. It is kind of a road side dhaba or shack. ₹60 for two kulchas is what he charges. It is actually on Outer Ring Road, Adjoining to a park wall. You can ask anybody about the Kulcha wala and they will be able to tell you the direction in Paschim Vihar/Meera Vihar Outer Ring Rd.
  • Andhra Pradesh Bhavan Canteen, Ashok Road (near Man Singh Road). Open for lunch and dinner this is a favorite of local Delhi foodies who are looking for an authentic Andhra meal. They serve all you can eat veg/non-veg thalis for ₹ 80-150. For carnivores, you have a variety of non-veg options (chicken/fish/mutton) but the mutton fry is recommended. The service is quick and efficient (slipshod and aggressive), and the joint crowded and noisy. Another favorite is the Karnataka Bhavan canteen beside Ansal Plaza near Mool Chand offering all possible South India food.
  • Bitto Tikki Wala, (also known as BTW), Netaji Subhash Place, Pitampura. The best aloo tikki (potato and vegetable burger) available in town. It has a branch in Sarita Vihar, Near Apollo Hospital and Badarpur border. It has branches all over the city now, in shopping areas.
  • Egg parantha Wala, Lajpat Nagar, (opposite to Surya hotel). This guy owns a shack and has been running the parantha business for ages.
  • Haldiram's, 1454/2 Chandni Chowk (just west of the fountain) and other outlets around town. This is a famous manufacturer of Indian snacks and sweets that has now gone global. This always-packed, two-story outlet in the heart of Chandni Chowk was its first in Delhi and dates back to 1924. The ground floor houses a vast array of sweet and sticky Indian confections, while the first floor has a popular vegetarian restaurant. This is a great place to try authentic and hygienic Delhi chaat and other Indian snack foods. Try the Raj Kachori, a mixture of different types of stuffing with sweetened yogurt and chutneys in an oversized hollow dough shell. All chaat is under ₹ 50, or you can get a full daily thali for ₹ 90. Choley Bhature, and the various Dosas are great options to try as well from their Southern Indian selection. Be sure to save room for dessert, as Haldiram's offers some of the best rasmalai, rasgullah, gulab jamun and other tasty delights in India.
  • Kake Di Hatti, Chandni Chowk near Old Delhi Railway Station. The most extensive varieties of naans (Indian bread) you will find in Delhi. They make the biggest and best tasting naans for your money.
  • Nangarg, Rajgur Marg Road (side road off of Main Bazaar), Paharganj. A really good hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves vegetarian and non-vegetarian food for about ₹ 60. The workers there are genuinely good people, which can be hard to find in this area. You'll have more luck finding a sign that says "Veg-Nonveg" than their actual restaurant sign.
  • Tadka, 4986, Ram Dwara Rd, Nehru Bazar, Paharganj, (side road off of Main Bazaar). A notably clean restaurant by Paharganj standards. Serves only vegetarian food, a full thali for ₹ 60. Their tea is really good and their most popular dish is paneer masala.

Mid-range

You will find McDonalds, KFC, Subway and Pizza Hut in malls and throughout the city. The Indian menu without beef and with lots of veggie options can be interesting even if you would otherwise steer clear.

Drikke

Delhi's nightlife scene has changed in the last decade. There are plenty of modern, cosmopolitan places to separate you from your rupees. In a desperate attempt to keep the sex ratio vaguely equitable, many lounges and clubs have couples only policies (that is, no single men or men-only groups), enforced with varying degrees of strictness. While everything is theoretically to shut down by 01:00 things can keep going much longer.

Pas på dig selv

Delhi at night

Many first-time travellers to India find themselves falling victim to scams and touts, and unfortunately Delhi has a lot of both. Be on guard for anybody trying to help you by giving you unsolicited directions or travel advice. Do not blindly rely on the advice of taxi and auto drivers. If this is your first time to India, do not openly admit it, as this will make you more vulnerable to touts.

Delhi is among the three unsafest cities for women in India. It is not uncommon in some areas to receive lewd remarks or even physical touching. If you are arriving into Delhi at night, stay in either the airport lounge or well lit areas until daybreak if this is your first trip to Delhi and if you haven't booked a hotel. Try to avoid walking around alone in lanes without many people after sunset and be cautious when hiring cabs at night. Dress conservatively (preferably in Indian clothing so as to blend in). Learn to shout and consider carrying mace/pepper spray.

Carry your cash, passport, and cards in a secure money belt, with only enough cash for a few hours at a time in your wallet or other accessible place. Some recommend carrying an expendable wallet with a few ten rupee notes in it in an obvious place such as your hip pocket as a decoy to Delhi's ubiquitous pickpockets.

Several tourist agencies have been known to swindle tourists, such as by changing their travel plans or charging them extra commissions and fees. The best way to secure train tickets is by navigating through Indian Railways' website. If you have problems booking online - the Indian Railways site is unreliable - you can buy tickets in person. The best place to do so is at the Tourist Information Centre, these are located within transit hubs. Be very careful, there are many scammers surrounding the train station looking for anyone on foot and out-of-place who will "help" you find a "ticket office for foreigners," usually located in a nondescript building some blocks from the train station, where you will be overcharged and cajoled into signing up for cars, tours, etc. When in doubt, look at reviews for the information center you are at (for example, on Google Maps). Some scammers will stand at the entrance to the train station and physically try to block you from entering, demanding to see your tickets (never mind that you need to enter the station to buy tickets!). Remember - you should be able to enter any train station just by going through a metal detector. Nobody will check your tickets before you get on a train.

You should also book your flight tickets online, as all the airlines have online booking systems. Otherwise, prepare to spend a good hour sorting through the charges that the tourist agency will charge.

If arriving late at night at the airport or train station, be very wary of taxi drivers trying to scam tired and unprepared tourists. A common scam is to drive you an area of town where there are roadworks or a roadblock, and tell you that the path to your hotel is blocked off and it's not possible to take you there. They'll then suggest to take you to another hotel, where they receive a commission for bringing customers. They may take you to a number of hotels first which all say they are full up, so as to increase your desperation, and hence openness to paying more. There have been reports also, of bringing tourists to a "travel agent", who will feign ringing your booked hotel to confirm that either the way is blocked, or they are overbooked and there is no room available. If you've let on that you were only staying in Delhi for the night, they may also try to convince you, that there are no hotel rooms available anywhere, and sell you an extremely overpriced private car ride to your next destination. This can be a very confusing and tiring process if you've just come off a long flight, short on sleep.

If you're arriving after midnight, it is therefore highly advisable to have accommodation pre-booked and arrange pick-up from the airport or station with your hotel, or at least have the phone number with you, so that should you get lost or caught in a sticky situation you have someone reliable to call up.

Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world, with pollution levels often in the "very unhealthy" or "hazardous" range. Keep an eye on air quality data and consider wearing a surgical mask or other approved N95/N99 mask, especially if spending an extended time in Delhi or North India.

Delhi Police

For non-emergencies, or to report a crime, visit the nearest police station.

Stay healthy

AdvarselNote: Delhi and the surrounding cities, including the Taj Mahal in Agra, throughout the year experiences moderate to unhealthy air quality, resulting in smog that potentially harms the health of all residents and a few flight delays due to low visibility. Air quality tends to be the best in summer because of the prevailing monsoon winds and frequent rain. It is worst during the winter as the unfavorable topography and stagnant weather trap all pollutants emitted within the valley.

Anyone visiting the area should try to limit outdoor and exhausting activity. Have masks (single-use surgical masks are okay), tissues, and eyedrops ready when going out.

Summer begins in early April and continues till the end of June, with the heat peaking in May. By the latter part of April or during early May. The temperatures regularly exceed 40 °C (104 °F), meaning that proper hydration is of the utmost importance. Keep yourself covered in summers to avoid a heat stroke. Drink a lot of water, 3 litres a day, particularly in the summer.

Winter arrives in Delhi by late November or early December and continues till mid-February. In winter there can be seasonal fog; on particularly foggy days, it can be difficult to see across the street. If you are flying in or out Delhi during the winters, be aware of fog-related flight delays.

Drink only packaged bottled water, to avoid water-related illness. Sticking to freshly, well-cooked food will lessen your chances on acquiring the "Delhi belly".

Opret forbindelse

Cope

Power outages og water shortages are common in Delhi, often occurring multiple times a day with summers being particularly bad. Better accommodation have water tanks and generators to alleviate the inconvenience, but keep a flashlight handy at night and do your part by not wasting too much water.

  • Laundry service is offered in most hotels, even in budget accommodation. If you would rather save the money and do it yourself, buckets are found in almost all bathrooms - but perhaps wash it out well first.
  • Exercising outdoors is not recommended due to the level of pollution and swimming in rivers is also not recommended. Instead, look for a hotel with a gym or a pool since many offer day passes. You can always try a morning or evening walk in the parks.
