Hi,
I'd like to know agents who offer cell phone hire for foreign tourists. if possible, I want to pick it up in Delhi and drop if off at Chennai. Does IGI airport has cell phone hire agent?
Thanks
Why rent a cell phone? Ok - assuming you are from the US (or wherever) Trade your US cell phone in for an international phone, which will work in the US and anywhere in the world (I traded my cell phone at Cingular and got an international phone and it cost me only $30 upgrade). An international phone has a SIM card slot and you'll just take your US SIM card out and get an India SIM card when you get there (and switch back when you come back into the US). Then you buy minutes on your India SIM card (and you'll have a new number). Before you go, probably when you buy the phone, you will have to get your new international phone "reprogrammed" or decoded - sounds like a big deal but it's not. If I remember correctly, only Cingular and Verizon have international phones - and they will tell you all about what you need to do if you go to their office or call them. Renting a phone is WAY more expensive.....

This area is backpackers ground. On the Main Bazaar, there are a lot of budget hostels, cheap internet access, and lots of little shops selling you everything from Ganesh T-shirts to incense and essential oils. Nice to have a stroll, but nothing more. It’s close to New Delhi train station.
its an extremely busy place full of businessmen.very spacious.very crowded during morning hours for brunch and discussions and then it empties out by 10am.tens of corporate wannabes in black suits and laptops,middlemen,airline crew,families,conference delegates,students...you have all of them rubbing shoulders here
good lawns on the backside which you can enjoy try to get seated near the window. do not expect any help from the staff they are already hassled .so grab your plate and do it yourself.very unlike "taj"hospitality.
the taj palace will be incomplete without kafe fontana. brunch is excellent.continental and indian stuff is well done.immense variety around the globe.
A visit to the main bazaar area of Old Delhi is a must. Chandni Chowk is pure madness...full of people, rickshaws, cows, sheep, the lot! Your senses are assorted on all levels...noise, colour, sound...its hard to take it all in....
The Red Fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad, the seventh Muslim city in the Delhi site. He moved his capital from Agra in a move designed to bring prestige to his reign, and to provide ample opportunity to apply his ambitious building schemes and interests
Lodhi Gardens is one of the famous park/gardens in Delhi. It is 90 acres in area annd contains many architectures and monuments from the 15th century during the Sayyid and Lodhi dynasties. It is located on the Lodhi Road close to the Safdarjun Tomb. The site is protected by Archeological Survey of India. The reason behind this is that there are few monuments surviving from this era of Lodhis and the Sayyids and this makes it important for preservation. The tomb of Mohammed Shah is visible from the road and it is the first thing to be built here. Sikander Lodhi's tomb is also located here. There are two mosques inside the gardens, the Bara Gumbad and Sheesh Gumbad. The Bara Gumbad ("Big Dome") is a three domed mosque and opposite to it is the Sheesh Gumbad ("glass dome"), containing the remains of an unknown family. Close to Sikander's tomb is the Athpula ("Eight Piered") Bridge built during Akbar's reign.
The garden is very popular for tourists and Delhi-ites alike for picnics, morning exercises, meetings and what not. It is like a green paradise. There is no entrance fee.
