State bus en route between Jammu and Srinagar

There are regular buses from the airport to the city operated by the state-owned Delhi Transport Corporation (www.dtc.nic.in). Buses follow a few different routes. One passes Rajiv Chowk (previously known as Connaught Place), goes near New Delhi Railway Station (eastern side) and finishes at the Kashmiri Gate Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT). The service is available around the clock and there are usually two buses per hour. The buses do not stop at Terminal 3, but opposite the Centaur Hotel; airport buses run between the two places.

An airport shuttle bus service runs between Terminal 3 and Terminal 1.

COPING WITH DELHI

Delhi may come as a bit of shock to those on their first visit to the developing world. The sights and scenes are initially overwhelming: pollution and noise, heat and humidity, colours, dresses, religions, the mix of faces, some sad, some happy and welcoming. The huge number of people everywhere is astonishing, with vast differences between rich and poor, modern and undeveloped. The aggressive, chaotic traffic seems so outrageous as to be hilarious at times. There is no way to be prepared for Delhi.
