Delhi India - 2nd, 3rd and 4th visit

Actually, from Gurgaon to Delhi is just about 25 Km... it should be a 30 mins distance but normally will cost you a hour. I am dying to see the operation of Delhi-Gurgaon metro.

Athe family came, I resumed the visit of Delhi almost every weekend, despite the depressing first trip. But I feel the experience has gradually improved. Not sure it is because the overwhelming part is over or what.
  • Chandi Chowk
The heart of old delhi. If you want to really experience the crowdness and rushness of india, this is definitely one of the best place.... So it is first spot I took my family to experience old delhi..
We followed the excellent recommendation of national geographic

the Jelabi wala and Parantha Wali Gali aremust go, even it is sort of scary....
  • Red Fort
Just cross the street from Chandi Chowk. It has been improved to be a tourist place, which offer a excellent contradictive peace and quiet from Chani Chowk. The red fort itself is not that significant, considering it mediocre maintenance and mughali architecture..
  • Humayun's tomb

Humayun's tomb is actually a must-go, comparing to red fort. Done by Akabar, this is the prototype of Taj Mahal. So, can find a lot of originality of maghali style. And overall, the maintenance apparently is much better than red fort (probably the best one in delhi)
