Travel tips

Small things travellers like to know about Delhi.

  • Singapore passport holders need an Indian e-Visa for tourism; apply only on the official Indian government e-Visa portal, well before departure.
  • Delhi traffic is heavy at most hours, so use the Metro where you can and allow generous time for road transfers to the airport.
  • Pre-book a car or use an app-based ride for airport pick-ups instead of accepting offers from touts in the arrivals hall.
  • From November to January, check the air-quality index and pack a mask; early-morning fog can also delay flights at DEL.
  • Many monuments charge a higher entry fee for foreign visitors; buying tickets online through the official ASI portal is often cheaper and skips queues.
