New Delhi Dos and Don'ts

The city is very densely populated, however have never felt insecure or unsafe. Use the local Tuk-Tuk to travel around, but negotiate your rate before hand. These tuk-tuk drivers will take you to their favoured stores or handicraft shops where you are not under any obligations to buy. These guys get fuel vouchers from the shop owners for introducing tourists. Support these guys - at least he's ekeing out a honest living.

keep your head down and don't eyeball the locals

If you're lucky enough to have some indian sic friends who are getting married jump on the occasion and take the oppotunity to see at least seven days of beautiful receptions between flowers, music, great food and a richness of colours!

It's where you can get guesthouses and cheap hotels. There are many places to get henna and local sutffs for travellers. It's always crowded, hectic and FUN!!!

Buy some bread or biscuits to give to the begging children, because often money just goes to whoever they are working for
