By air: Delhi is serviced by two airports: Indira Gandhi is the International Airport and Palam is the Domestic Airport. The airport is the main gateway into the country and sees millions of passengers pass through its gates each year. Destinations include many major worldwide cities as well as many domestic towns and cities.
By train: travelling to Delhi by train is possible from almost anywhere in India as virtually every state capital is connected by the country’s extensive railway system. There are several classes available including first class which is air-conditioned, second and third class. Each class denotes the seating facilities, price and comfort. There are three railway stations in Delhi: New Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi Railway Station and Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station.
It is adviseable to use a private bus, although this is often triple the cost of using an interstate bus. Private buses are air-conditioned and fairly comfortable, making the long road journeys from one state to another bearable.
By road: Delhi is well connected through a network of national highways and state roadways to various towns and cities. The roads may not always be in the best of condition and there are long stretches where there are no street lights, making it advisable to drive during the day. Distances between states in India are long and journeys often arduous, so always remember to take adequate breaks.
