Delhi's climate is, sad to say, infamously bad, combining the scorching aridity of Rajasthan's deserts with the frigid cold of the Himalayas. From April to October, temperatures are scorchingly hot (over 40°C is common), and the monsoon rains deluge the city in July and August.

With every air-conditioner running at full blast, the city's creaky infrastructure is often stretched beyond the breaking point, with power and water outages common.

In winter, especially December and January, temperatures can dip to near-zero and the city is blanketed in thick fog, causing numerous flight cancellations. The shoulder seasons (Feb-Apr and Sep-Nov) are comparatively pleasant, with temperatures in the 20-30°C range, but short.

Delhi's culture has been influenced by its lengthy history and historic association as the capital of India.Instead of taking the tour package in Delhi its better to roam with the well known person in Delhi.Also the Golden triangle tour package is the popular which includes Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.Generally the tour operators will include the below mentioned place as the local sight seeing in Delhi.

The Old City is the site where the Mughals and the Turkic rulers constructed several architectural marvels like the Jama Masjid (India's largest mosque) and Delhi Fort (Red Fort).Qutab Minar and Humayun's Tomb(Two World Heritage Sites),Other monuments include the India Gate,Jantar Mantar and Purana Qila(a 16th century fortress).

The Lotus Temple, Laxminarayan Temple and Akshardham are examples of modern architecture. Raj Ghat and associated memorials houses memorials of Mahatma Gandhi.

New Delhi houses several government buildings and official residences reminiscent of the British colonial architecture. Important structures include the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Secretariat, Rajpath, the Parliament of India and Vijay Chowk .
