Delhi City Map

 

Delhi has three airports but only the domestic and international terminals of the Indira Gandhi International Airport operate commercial flights. Delhi is India's major point for international flights with almost all leading international airlines operating in and out of Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi. Domestic flights from Delhi connects all major destinations of India and one can find readily available local airlines operating in and out of the domestic airport. From the city center the domestic airport of Delhi is roughly about 7 km away and the Delhi international airport is 11 km. The third airport of Delhi located next to the Safdarjung Tomb, unsurprisingly also called Safdarjung Airport, has no commercial operations and operates only as a flying club.

India's rail network is the largest in the world and Delhi's three major railway stations at New Delhi, Old Delhi, and Nizamuddin are connected to all major rail routes of the country. The New Delhi Railway Station is located half a kilometer from Connaught Place and the budget hotels center of New Delhi is just a stone throw away. Long-distance trains heads to all corners of the country from here. Old Delhi Railway Station is located near the heart of old Delhi, Chandni Chowk. Long-distance trains run from here to major destinations of India. The Nizamuddin Railway Station is located near the holy shrine of Hazarat Nizamuddin. This is a major railhead for trains connecting the western and southern states of India. And the Delhi Cantonment Railway Station at the Delhi Cantonment area is the starting point for some of the luxury trains of India such as the Palace-on-Wheels, Fairy Queen and Royal Orient Express.

History of Delhi

History of Delhi

Delhi, where an empire rose and fell before the dawn of history; where citadels of emperors appeared and disappeared; a city of mysterious eternity whose old ruins proclaim a majestic and imperial past and whose present pulsates vibrantly with the ever flowing life of India. The eternal Yamuna bears witness to the glorious and tumultuous 5,000 year old history of Delhi. A history which begins with the creation of Indraprastha by the Pandavas and the transformation of this barren gift of the Kauravas into an idyllic heaven.

A history which encompasses all the various kings and emperors who fixed their royal citadels here... Indraprastha, Lal Kot, Quila Rai Pithora, Siri, Jahanpanah, Tughlakabad, Ferozabad, Dinpanah, Delhi Sher Shahi or then Shahjahanabad, but, combined and integrated into one, these 'new cities' have always been called Delhi and howsoever many names it may have acquired, Delhi has always been intrinsically identified with power and imperial sway. Delhi has been destroyed and recreated 7 times. There have been at least seven cities around modern Delhi, and the old saying that whoever forms a new city at Delhi will lose it has come true every time -- most recently for the British who founded New Delhi in 1911.
