India's capital: huge Muslim minority, excellent halal food, strong mosque infrastructure, but air quality and Hindu-majority culture require cultural awareness.
Money-saving tips
Book 3-star hotels in Connaught Place or Noida for balance of amenities and halal dining nearby.
Use Uber/Ola for longer distances; metro for central Delhi; agree auto-rickshaw fares upfront or use meter.
Dine at established halal restaurants (Karim's, Al-Karim, Gulati) or hotel halal menus; quality is consistent mid-range.
Best time to visit
Pleasant weather (18–28°C), clear skies, festival season (Diwali, Holi). Oct–Nov: severe air pollution (AQI often 300+); masks essential. Hotels and tourist sites crowded; prices spike.
Mild weather, fewer crowds. September: tail end of monsoon (humid, occasional rain). April: warm, pre-summer heat rising. Ramadan often falls in Mar–Apr; check Islamic calendar.
Intense heat (35–45°C), monsoon rains (Jun–Aug), high humidity. Prices drop significantly; locals travel less. Air quality improves after monsoon (Aug–Sep).
