The First-Timer’s Travel Guide to Delhi, India (2019)

I was on a multi-city tour of India to document the newest food tours from our friends at A Chef’s Tour. Delhi was my last stop.

I was unfamiliar with India at the time so they helped me choose all my hotels throughout the trip. For convenience, they recommended hotels that were close to the general area where their tours would take place. They did that in every city except Delhi.

According to them, the site of their food tour – Chandni Chowk – was too crazy. Located in the heart of Old Delhi, it was a dizzying cacophony of sights, sounds, and smells that may have been a bit much for a first-time traveler to India like myself. And they were right.

The old town was indeed crazy, but it was also perfect – a perfect glimpse into this kaleidoscopic city and country that was every bit as colorful and captivating as it was chaotic.

Welcome to Delhi.
