More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned car into a corridor of sound: cycle rickshaws weaving, chai vendors calling, and the low hum of the Yamuna pushing the city forward. The lane opens onto the courtyard of Jama Masjid where red sandstone rises and voices echo; later the road stretches into broad avenues past India Gate and the Presidential buildings, a clear contrast between the intimate alleys of Old Delhi and the planned geometry of New.

Start early to avoid heat and traffic
Depart at first light when markets are active and roads are less congested; mid-morning and late afternoon can be much slower due to traffic.
Dress modestly for religious sites
Carry a shawl or wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees; you will need to remove shoes at some temples and mosques.
Carry small bills and change
Many shopkeepers, rickshaw drivers and shrine donations work best with small cash denominations for quick transactions.
Stay hydrated and pace your day
Bring a refillable water bottle; the private car offers shade between stops and a chance to rest between walking segments.
