Driver Pro-Tips & Practical Advice
Evenings and weekend nights have heavy pedestrian crowds; ask your chauffeur to drop you at the Man Singh Road bay and coordinate a pickup spot near the underground parking exit.
Combine India Gate with a tour of the National War Memorial, located just 200 meters east through the pedestrian underpass.
Food stalls and hawkers have designated zones along the lawns; try Delhi street favorites like chana jor garam and fruit chaat.
The ceremonial boulevard (Kartavya Path) is closed to private vehicle traffic during Republic Day preparations in mid-to-late January.
