The Property — Baikunth Kutter
Baikunth Kutter is a no-frills 3-star hotel in the Paharganj area—think backpacker central, with narrow lanes, rooftop restaurants and the scent of chai and exhaust. The lobby feels like a transit lounge: functional, slightly worn, but staffed by people who are used to sorting out last-minute train tickets from New Delhi Railway Station, two minutes' walk away. It suits budget travellers and solo backpackers who need a clean bed, Wi-Fi and proximity to the station; luxury it is not.
Chronicles of Delhi
Delhi has been continuously inhabited since the 6th century BC and served as the capital of numerous empires, from the Tomaras and Chauhans to the Mughals and the British. The Mughals built Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) in the 17th century, with its Red Fort and Chandni Chowk. The British shifted the capital from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911 and designed New Delhi as an imperial showcase, with wide boulevards and Edwin Lutyens' grand buildings. Today the city is a chaotic fusion of ancient alleyways, Mughal tombs, colonial geometry and glass-and-steel skyscrapers. Contemporary Delhi is the national seat of government, a commercial powerhouse and a sprawling patchwork of cultures, languages and economic extremes.
Best Time to Visit
Full Delhi guide →Best months
October to March: Delhi's winter and early spring offer clear skies, daytime highs of 20-28°C and low humidity. This is also the main tourist season, but crowds are manageable outside of the December-January peak.
Peak / festival surge
December is the absolute peak, driven by the India International Trade Fair (November) and Christmas/New Year events. Hotel prices in Paharganj can double; advance booking is essential. The January Republic Day parade (26 Jan) also fills rooms.
Budget shoulder season
April and September: hot but significantly cheaper than winter. April touches 38-40°C but you'll find rooms at 30-50% discount; September sees the monsoon tail-end with lower prices and fewer tourists.
Weather & packing
July in Delhi is monsoon season: expect heavy downpours, 85% humidity and temperatures around 34°C. Pack a lightweight rain jacket, waterproof shoes, and quick-dry clothing—cotton sarongs or skirts for women, and a spare pair of socks in your daypack.

Top Attractions in Delhi
💡 Come here early on a weekday for absolute peace. The on-site café sells cheap chai, and there are free guided walks on the first Sunday of each month. No queues to enter.
💡 Best visited at sunrise when the tombs are golden-lit and the air is cool. Don't miss the Bara Gumbad, a large dome with intricate stucco work.
💡 Don't try to see everything in one go—focus on the Harappan gallery and the textiles. Audio guides are worth the small extra fee. Visit on a Friday morning to avoid school groups.
💡 Skip paying to enter the main fort if you're on a tight budget; instead, walk the perimeter near Chandni Chowk for great exterior views. The sound and light show is free to watch from the ramparts after sunset.
💡 Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and the midday heat. The tomb complex is quieter on weekdays. Indian nationals pay just INR 40, while foreigners pay INR 600.
