Day 1 to 3 Delhi - Haryana

منتشر شده: 31.12.2016

Hello friends,

the year is coming to an end and for me that means finally going on a trip again. And since winter at home is slowly approaching, I will try to escape it as long as possible if everything goes according to plan. After visiting India for the first time on my last trip, specifically South India. My plan for this year mainly focuses on the northern region. Starting in Haryana, then Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal. After that, possibly continue to Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, the Andaman Islands, and finally Odisha.

And just to keep things interesting, I took on the first challenge in Delhi and immediately started to organize the unbeatable chaos.

Now, on the 3rd day of my journey, I have already collided head-on with the fortress of noise, smog, dirt, noise, and (masses of -) people, and of course, I have completely failed. So, India, I resign and accept you as you are from now on.

As expected, I was not spared even upon arrival at the airport. At the moment, the ATM did not give me any money. Fortunately, I still had a few Euros in my pocket, which I could change into Rupees at a miserable exchange rate plus fee.

At a later time in the city, I was fortunate enough to get cash from the ATM. But next, I was confronted with a seemingly popular trickster trick here in Delhi. Quote: (Translated) Hello, where are you from? what is your name? blah blah blah...

Where are you traveling to... ah, very nice... Look, there is my shop (Tourist Info!?)...

Well, since I'm up for anything, I naturally ended up in the first two shops located at "Connaught Place" (knowing that I already have my plan in my mind and booked in advance). But I wanted to know what they had to tell me and offer me. The first one was quite inventive, as he quickly found out that I had booked my train tickets in advance (online),

his plan B came promptly. He saw a problem with my booking (many trains have been canceled) and he could solve the problem immediately for a small additional fee.

In retrospect, it's all nonsense. There are apparently no more tourist offices at the mentioned "Connaught Place".

For the next two days, I visited Delhi's sights, and since Delhi is a very big city, its very modern, clean, and sometimes completely overcrowded metro came in handy for me.

I went to the Red Fort, twice to Jama Majid (unfortunately never got inside, I was always a minute too late - now it's closed), the Akshardham Temple, the Qutb Minar, Bahai's (Lotus) Temple, and finally the Gate of India. Quite sporty for two days, and quite exhausting. Nevertheless, Delhi is worth seeing and should not be missed on a trip to India.

Now I'm looking forward to the first train journey on the trip with the goal of Bikaner.

Dhanyavaad - Thank you
