Delhi is the capital of India. It
is the country's third-largest city, and the home to some of the finest monuments
in history. It is also one of India's busiest entrance points for overseas airlines, the hub of the north-Indian travel network and an excellent base
to visit Agra and Jaipur - two of India's most popular cities. It stands at the western end of the Gangetic Plain, bordered on the eastern side by the state of Uttar Pradesh, and on the other three sides by the state of Haryana. The climate is pleasant between October and March,
hot between April and June, and
humid between July and September.
The city is expansive, but easy to navigate. The hub of New Delhi is Connaught Place, where you'll find most of the airline offices, travel agents and banks. `Old' Delhi is a couple of km north, and its main thoroughfare is Chandni Chowk. The two main centres for accommodation are Paharganj, near New Delhi Railway Station,
and Janpath, on the southern side of Connaught Place. There are a number of cinemas and performing arts centres around Connaught
Place.
