If you are planning to visit Delhi for the first time in your life, I have a handful of tips for you. It is essential that you know about its climate and culture to make your travel a success. If you are getting down at airport, then it is wise to book your rooms there earlier through internet and book for airport pickup also. Many hotels and lodges offer this service free of cost. On the other hand if you are traveling to Delhi by train, then you can meet many agents at the railway stations who will explain you about various hotels. If you tell them your budget they will help you to pick the right hotel for you. There are many cheap hotels at much reduced cost. If you want additional facilities like air conditioner then you have to specify your needs to the agents.
During hot summer the climate will be as high as forty six degree centigrade. In that case it is wise to book air conditioned or air cooled hotels. On the other hand if you are visiting the place in winter season, the climate will drop to even zero degree centigrade. It is good to book hotels with room heater facilities in this case. You can get details about these facilities with the agents. You will be taken to hotel after the hotel until you find someone to your taste by these agents. They will not charge you any cost for the cab you are traveling or any commission for their service. The hotel management offers them the commission. So you can find out comfortable yet affordable hotel in this way without straining much. Alternatively if you go to Pahar Ganj or Connaught Place you can find many inexpensive hotels to stay.
If you are visiting Delhi for sightseeing then there are many places of interest in and around the city like historical places, museums, parks and national parks. Put a timetable and stick to it so that you do not leave out any place. For commutation within the city, auto rickshaws, taxis and cycle rickshaws are available. If you want to have a view of the city and want to travel a short distance of two or three kilometers then you can hire cycle rickshaws. You will enjoy riding it.
If you have very short time then you can book one of the tourist buses that show you all the important places within a day’s time. If you turn to your hotel manager they will help you to book one. The tourists buses will stop at all the important places in and around Old Delhi and New Delhi and will at last drop you at the Red Fort in the evening.

Taking some nice Delhi photos and Delhi videos will help you to take your memories back home.
