My India trip photos - Delhi

These are the photos of the first city we've visited in my last trip to India, Delhi. 

We stayed at "Smyle Inn" hostel in Paharganj, the famous backpacker area. Paharganj is for sure a place not suitable for everyone, because is such a crazy neighbourhood, full of people, bazars and unfortunately very noisy and dirty! Anyway, I can recommend staying at Smyle Inn because it's an oasys in the chaos of Paharganj area. 

Since it was our first stop-over in India, we've needed time to familiarize with the astonishing and shocking environment that India is. So, we've visited only the main monuments of Delhi, like the Jama Masjid, the Red Fort and Chandni Chowk bazar in Old Delhi and then Connaught Place and the India Gate. 

We've spent the rest of our time in the city wandering and roaming in the chaotic main bazar of Paharganj, looking for the best bargaining of clothes and souvenirs and tasting indian delicacies and the all-present masala chay, indian spiced tea. 

The craziest thing in the city was moving around with auto-rickshaw, the only mode of transport that can go easily in the absurd and illogical traffic of Delhi streets! We also bought our first indian suits, shalwar kameez for me and kurta pajama for my boyfriend, trying to mix with indian customs and lifestyle. 

Delhi is one of the biggest metropolis in India, a shocking but fulfilling welcoming to India, only if one is able to adapt to it...
