The best way to spend layover in Dehli.
We had a layover trip around Delhi in May. I wasn't really fascinated by the New City (monumental Soviet style), but the Old one impressed me completely. Be aware of pickpocketing. Although we asked for a Russian guide, Neeraj, our english guide, turned out pretty well-known and patient enough. He recommended a traditional restaurant, there we had tasty lunch with beer.
