Be careful

by Mountainbird

Delhi is an extreamely vast city with crowds of local and foreign people of all classes.So one must not trust anyone and always reconfirm what one plans.Be very cautious of your belogings since pickpocketing is a common trait in Delhi's crowded places. Terrorism being the latest threat you must follow the rules writen on boards before you enter any place or even on the streets.This will keep you out of unnecessary trouble.Be sure to bargain in shopping areas except malls where prices are fixed. A tip for women from outside is that ,they should not go around town after dark.

Dangers of Delhi

Below are the main things to note in Delhi:- Beware of pickpockets as this is a major tourist city in India.- Traffice is chaotic (this is India, so it is the norm).- Touts are very aggressive, especially at major attractions. The roadside sellers are very persistent and it is quite difficult to shake them off.- Beware of fake items, especially the marble and expensive souvenirs. If you buy from roadside sellers, most likely the items are fake and made of chalk instead of marble. Better to buy from reputable shops even though you have to pay more.- Remember to always bargain and slash the price as low as possible, because the prices quoted have been inflated many times (especially roadside sellers and shops).- When locals offer you help e.g. helping you to take photos, it does not come free and they will ask you for money after that. This practice seems to be the norm in India.- You can...

Touts and more touts

Be assured of this: When anyone speaks to you in Delhi they are attempting to have you part with your money. The simple task of asking directions will lead you to places other than what you requested. Delhi has two official tourist offices and hundreds of unofficial that claim to be official. The India tourist offis is located at 88 Janpath. Do not go to any other address as you will be fleeced.
