three local expertsLeave a comment
New Delhi has been the capital of India since 1911. It is the most populated city in the world, after Tokyo. It is an earthquake-prone city, recording 17 minor earthquakes over last two months. You can find the world’s tallest brick structure here, the Qutub Minar. During the British rule in India, this city was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker. Also, it is interesting to note that New Delhi has a museum dedicated to the historical evolution of toilets.
New Delhi ranks very low in terms of air pollution so do carry along a mask with dirt filter. Delhi is a place full of beauty, famous for the Mughal Gardens, India Gate, Red Fort among others spread over kilometers of land. Prefer metro instead of buses. The museums are a must visit giving an insight of the rich cultural heritage of India such as Doll Museum, Train Museum, National Museum and a lot more. The food gets a lot more interesting as you can find a blend of thousands of cuisines here, avoid street food as it is very low in hygiene. The National Zoo and the sprawling markets like Sarojini Nagar, Palika Bazar and Karol Bagh are a must visit.
