Folks,

On my way to KTM, I have a one night transit in Delhi. So, thinking i suld take a hotel close to airport. I arrive in delhi evening 8:30.

Do you have any experience booking hotel close to airport area for transit stay? Anything that i should be cautious about?

Appreciate your response ...

If you book hotel you need to get out of airport so need to check your luggage and go though the Indian coustom people.  I suggest ask for a business lounge inside the airport, which is pretty good.  I was offered for $75 a night, cheaper than many airport hotels.  It included free dinner and free internet access.

Jonny's advice is the best advice. However, if you still want to find a cheap hotel, take a pre-paid taxi and ask the taxi driver to take you to a decent hotel/motel. Generally, the further the place is from the airport, the cheaper it is. I went to a place that was 30 minutes away from the airport and paid 2500(Indian Rupees) for a night. If I remember it correctly, the pre-paid taxi cost was 150((Indian Rupees).It worked for me because I wanted to see a bit of night-life there so I traveled all-over the city for a few hours. This is too much of a hassle if you have a lot of luggage.

यो क्यम्पसको कुराहो, दंगालि दाइले सुनाएको कथा .

बनारसमा  मेट्रिकुलेसन गर्न बसेको बेलामा कोठे मित्रले ठोकुवा गर्दै भनेरे " आज मैले १०० रुपैयाको दोसा खाएर आए"

भएछ के भने साथीलाई पनि खुवाउनु पर्छ भनी एक्लै हिंडेछन "हे त्रिचक्र चालक मुझे दोसा खाने भोजानलय ले चलो " अनी त्रिचक्र चालकले पनि एउटा कुना मा लगेर घरबाट् आएको १०० उडाइ दिएछ । कौवा धेरै बाठो भयो भने सुली खान्छ भन्छन , तेही भएको हो यो सत्य घटना मा .
 

हुनत एस्तो हुँदैन होला, तर पनि " हे ट्याक्सी चालक मुझे सुलभ और अच्छा होटल ले चलो " मा तिनै दंगालि दाइले भने जस्तै भयो भने के होला ????

LOL.....syanjali mitra, तेती सारो cynical पनि न हौउ न। संसार म सबइ फट।  हुँदैनन नि। मैले पछील्लो बर्ष तेही गर्दा कुनै समस्या भोग्नु परेन। अब फट।  र सज्जन मान्छे त जहाँ पनि हुन्छन नि!!

मित्र ; कुरा लाई कुरा मात्रै हो
दुर्भाग्यले हजारौमा एक बदमाश, चाँही फेला परे के हुन्छ ?   छटियलको फेला पर्न कुनै बेर लाग्ला त ?
