What are the best things to do in New Delhi?

India Gate

India Gate is one of the most famous landmarks to see while visiting the Indian capital on return flights to New Delhi. It was built as a war memorial honouring the 70,000 British Indian soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. India Gate was modelled after several other notable arches around the world, including the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Arch of Constantine in Rome. Head to Rajpath in the eastern end of the city centre to see the monument. You could even take in the view while enjoying a picnic at one of the parks surrounding India Gate.

Akshardham Temple

Make your way to Akshardham Temple if you’re interested in learning about Hinduism in between your return flights to New Delhi. The temple has a grand appearance and was intricately carved from marble and sandstone. Take your time exploring the temple's many exhibits, each of which focuses on different aspects of Hindu teachings.

When is the best time to visit New Delhi?

The weather of New Delhi is unique, and the city has five different seasons throughout the year: spring, summer, monsoon, autumn, and winter.

Both spring and autumn have warm daytime temperatures around 27°C with little rain and low humidity. These are the two shoulder seasons in Delhi, so tourism levels aren’t too high. Book airfare to New Delhi in February or March for spring or in October or November to visit in autumn.

You’ll find great deals in the summer and monsoon seasons if you don’t mind the weather. Experience summer by booking cheap flights to New Delhi in April or May. These months come with hot temperatures up to 40°C and moderate levels of humidity. This marks the beginning of the low season in New Delhi, so you won’t come across too many other tourists. Low season continues into the monsoon months between June and September. There’s heavy rain and high humidity, but temperatures cool down to about 35°C after the summer. Keep a backup plan of indoor activities to enjoy on hot and rainy days if you book tickets to New Delhi between April and September.

Winter is widely considered as the best time to book flights into Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in terms of weather. Daytime temperatures of about 20°C make it possible to spend most of your time outdoors comfortably between December and January. It often dips down to as low as 8°C at night, so pack a jacket and some pants if you head to India on flights to New Delhi in winter. Winter sees the largest influx of both domestic and international tourists, so lock in your hotel early for the best rate.
