Start early to beat heat and crowds
Begin around 8:00am to avoid midday traffic and the worst of Delhi's heat; mornings are quieter at major monuments.
Dress modestly for sacred sites
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees for mosque and temple visits — a lightweight scarf is handy.
Carry small change
Vendors and rickshaw drivers often require cash; keep small notes for purchases and tips.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Bring a reusable water bottle and take breaks — guided stops include time for rest and photos.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes are essential for cobbled lanes and long walks between sites.
Lightweight scarf or shawl
Covers shoulders for temple and mosque visits and doubles as sun protection.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial, and bottled water is often provided but a refillable bottle reduces waste.
Small daypack
Carries water, sunscreen, camera, and any purchases without burden.
