FOOD, HOTELS AND TRANSPORTATION IN NEW DELHI, INDIA:
TRANSPORTATION:
Its always better to book your taxi inside the airport. If you take a pre-paid
taxi, pay a pre-defined fare to your destination while at the airport counter.
After which you need not pay anything to the taxi driver. Many taxi men may
crowd around you and offer to take you to where ever you need to go. Most likely
you will get overcharged. There is no need to tip taxis, some rounding of fare
is fine. If you are unsure about the cost conversions (few taxi's have old fare
meter)- which are usually one and a half times to twice of what the meter reads,
you can always ask for a meter card from the driver. Taxi's and Buses are easily
available throughout Delhi. You can find plenty of good city tours, check with
