Stay healthy

Delhi is a dusty city. That and the heat in Delhi does reduce visibility in the summers. In April through June, temperatures regularly top 40°C, meaning that proper hydration is a major concern. In winter there can be seasonal fog and and on particularly foggy days, it can be difficult to see across the street. If you happen to be traveling in or out of Delhi during the winters, be aware of fog related flight delays.

Simple advice - use bottled water and avoid any water-related illness. Keep yourself covered in summers to avoid a heat stroke. Drink a lot of water - 3 litres of water a day -, particularly in the summer. Sticking to freshly, well-cooked vegetarian food will lessen your chances on acquiring the 'delhi belly'.
