New Delhi - 4 hours

[jalLee2001]

I am in India for business this week. I will be able to spend a couple of hours away from the office. I bought along my Bessa 2 with the 35 and 90 cron. any suggestion on where to walk around?

Old Delhi, around the Red Fort. Connaught Place. The Jantar Mantar. (You won't be able to fit in all three).

Cheers,

R.

Where is your office? You will find getting around anywhere in Delhi takes a very long time. Ask the taxi driver to drop you off at Red Fort and then walk towards Old Delhi across the street.

Jantar Mantar is right next to Connaught Circus. After that, or as an alternative, you might like to walk to the New Delhi railway station and a little beyond it.

That's pretty close to Old Delhi. If I had 4 hours to kill in Delhi this is what I would do: I would do lunch at Karim's Hotel in the heart of Old Delhi. Take a taxi there. Google for the address and show to driver just in case. The restaurant itself is interesting subject matter in itself. After lunch just walk out into the streets and wander for a few hours. The neighborhood is absolutely teeming with traditional life. Have fun. I will actually be there myself in two weeks.
