Prayer flags, the minaret of Jama Masjid and Leh Palace

Rajiv Chowk (Connaught Place) is one of the main business and commercial centres in New Delhi with a major metro station. It is quieter than Paharganj, has good access to public transport and is central. Hotels here are more expensive and harder to find. Ringo Guesthouse (17 Scindia House, Connaught Lane) is an old favourite. Go along Janpath for 100m from Rajiv Chowk and turn left into Connaught Lane. The hotel is 50m further on your left.

The third budget area in Delhi is the Tibetan Refugee Colony at New Aruna Nagar, Majnu-Ka-Tilla. There are a few hotels, many restaurants, tourist offices and Internet cafés. It is the quietest of the three areas but is inconvenient for the city, being located about 3.5km north of Kashmiri Gate Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT), by the Yamuna River (and just north of Gurudwara Majnu-Ka-Tilla Sikh temple). It is convenient, however, for anyone who wants to go to Manali by bus. Take the metro to Vidhan Sabha (Yellow Line) and a cycle-rickshaw (2km, about Rs15) to the Tibetan Colony (recognisable by prayer flags). From the Kashmiri Gate ISBT, take a motor-rickshaw (3.5km, Rs50). Vehicles are not allowed inside. For accommodation check www.majnukatilla.com (choose Services).
