Happy staying options in Delhi

Delhi, the capital of India is dotted with spellbinding places to visit including mosques, forts, and monuments that are influenced by the long line of rulers who have their indelible imprints on architecture – Mughals, Lodhis, Sultanate and British to name just a few.

The contrast between rambling Old Delhi and well planned New Delhi is immense, and it's interesting to spend time exploring both. If you feel in need of some relaxation, just head to one of Delhi's flourishing landscaped garden. Take in the forts, monuments, galleries, crowded bazaars, glitzy malls, tombs, mosques, temples…the list is almost never ending.  You could spend an entire week rambling through all the places to visit in Delhi and still not see them all. See the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Lodhi Gardens, Hauz Khas, Chawri Bazaar, Lotus Temple, Birla Mandir, Gandhi Samadhi, India Gate, Connaught place  and you’ve probably just hit the tip of the iceberg.  Delve into the depths and it’s a whole other world down there.

The staying options are immense too in New Delhi. Be it 7 star luxury in the posh localities of New Delhi, more modest 3 or 4 star rated hotels, guest houses or lodging rooms in Paharganj. There’s something for everyone, in every style and budget.

B&Bs though a more newer and limited option, are these days available in numerous places around Delhi. Priced between 15 to 50 pounds, these homestays offer good Indian experience, clean and neat rooms, good authentic food at budget prices.
