After the speed tour around the Golden Triangle, I spent four days in New Delhi for work. More accurately, my hotel, the Radisson, was in New Delhi, and my office was 3 km (but 1 hour away by car in traffic) away in Gurgaon.Here are a couple of things, in no particular order, that surprised [...]

Everyone tells you to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise because the white marble glows at that hour, and you avoid the busloads of tourists on a daytrip from Delhi. Well, we didn’t arrive at dawn, but getting there at 8 am wasn’t too shabby. There were no lines to get in – at least, [...]
