💡 Local Tips

Insider advice from the LonelyRoad community

📱 Mobile Data & eSIM: Get data for Delhi with PikaSim - 0.5GB for 7 days costs $2.10 (other options: 0.1GB/7d for $0.82, 0.5GB/1d for $2.06). Privacy-focused, no account needed, instant activation. Get yours at https://pikasim.com/download-india-esim-packages
Visa & Entry for Indian citizens: As an Indian citizen visiting Delhi (your own capital city), you need no visa or special permits. Simply carry a valid government-issued photo ID like Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Driving License, or Passport for hotel check-ins and any bookings. Delhi is in your home country!
Delhi Metro is your best friend - download the DMRC app for route planning. Get a smart card (₹200 including ₹150 deposit) to save time and money. Metro is safe, clean, and connects all major areas.
November to March is ideal weather (10-25°C). Avoid June-September monsoon and April-May extreme heat (40°C+). Pollution peaks in October-November, consider bringing a mask.
Hauz Khas Village and Zostel hostels are best for meeting fellow backpackers and solo travelers. Join pub crawls or walking tours to make friends quickly.
Use Uber/Ola for safe, metered transport. Auto-rickshaws rarely use meters - negotiate fare before starting. Metro closes around 11 PM, plan nightlife transport accordingly.
Delhi belly is real - stick to bottled water, avoid street ice, and carry Imodium. Start with mild street food before going full spicy. Wash hands frequently or carry sanitizer.
Respect religious sites - remove shoes at temples/mosques, cover shoulders and knees. Jama Masjid and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib offer free community meals (langar) - humble cultural experience.
