Men and women volunteer here, and sometimes kids too, making this rendezvous a highly immersive experience. Everyone has to cover their head and leave their shoes and socks outside before entering the temple.

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Delhi.

How much does Old Delhi walk Asia's largest spice market and one of India's mega kitchens cost?

+

+

What should I bring or wear?

When is the best time to visit New Delhi?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in New Delhi?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+
