The safer way to get to the city from the airport is to go outside and go stra8 to the small office for the prepaid taxi. You simply go there, tell to the man where you do want to go and you pay immediately. Then he will give you the receipt with the numebr of the taxi and he will drive you to the final destination. It is very simple and moreover you will not fall in trouble with huge ammounts to pay to the taxi driver.. ):- Leave a Comment

If there is one thing you have to learn as quick as possible is this: Bargain! Regaurding whatever, from stuff, to food, to drinks to also the Guesthouses. When somebody is asking 100, you gotta pay not more then 30! There are only few items that has a fix prices, like BIRI, which costs 5Rs!!! Reguarding tghe GH you should not ask for the 30% of the inquiry, but for sure go down to the first price called by the owner. Leave a Comment

It happends a very strange thing to me. I book a bus ticket for the route and I paid normally the rate. Once we were dropping on the bus, the man told us “you do have to pay for looking forward your bags”…and what tha hell does it mean?! So, despite the normal rate they will ask you for some Rupee for looking forward your bags…When this will happen, DO NOT pay anything and go stra8 to the manager, he will settle the matter… Leave a Comment

by sandravdp Watch out for your money. Keep it nearby where nobody will notice it. When you buy something, check if the money you get back is correct. Most Indian people who never went to school have trouble counting. Also some count wrong on purpose. Also you should watch out with food and drinks. Never eat at dirty looking restaurants or little foodstals at the road. Don't drink tabwater, buy mineral water in a sealed bottle. Mineral water from the brand 'Yes', 'Evian' and 'Bisleri' are alright. Watch out in trafic. Getting accross the street can be hard sometimes. Roads are often bumpy and full of holes. People often drive reckless. Leave a Comment

An email or phone call to your hotel can ensure that you are picked up from the airport in Delhi. This saves you troubles. I spoke to people who had even had problems with the prepaid taxi. He told them their hotel was full and took them to some dive in the middle of nowhere and it cost them lots of money. Getting picked up allows you to get your bearings before braving the streets and swindles of Delhi. Leave a Comment

I had very bad experience with food from roadside stalls in Delhi and I would like to beware tourists of the same. Being an Indian, I have had never had this problem anywhere before. Delhi was the first and only time.

 Tuk-Tuk's waiting for fuel by PierreZA Do decide on a price before getting in. The taxi-driver may also suggest a different place as to where you would like to go, usually an emporium (government approved with fixed prices) - the fact is it is for his commission and your loss. There are many of these shops, and stick to your original destination, they can persist without end - a friendly no-thank you should do the trick.

Women are advised to not to move around unescorted after 9 pm. Taxis and Auto Rickshwas have a propensity of going around in circles before taking you to destination to make a few extra bucks. Leave a Comment

by fonares Of course besides the obvious dangers of food and drinks, be careful at the airport with the guys offering a ride to your destination whether they are legal or not. They will try to rip you off. If you take a pre-paid taxi DO NOT GIVE your receipt to the driver until you reach your destination. Otherwise you are in for troubles. Another warning: People spreading excrement on your shoes and just by magic there is a shoe-cleaning guy not far who offers to clean it for you. Beware this is a trick to rob you. Just keep on walking (with the excrement on) and find a spot to clean it yourself. Happens anywhere specially in Connaught Place or any tourist areas. Leave a Comment
