General travel tips: Clothing: During the winter months of November to February, light woolen clothes are appropriate for travel in the plains of North India and heavy woolens for travel in the hills of North India. Language: Although English is generally used for official and business purposes, Hindi is spoken by most of the people. Even if you meet someone who doesn’t speak English, they will surely understand basic words like no, yes, please, excuse me, sorry, bye and thank you. Credit cards / Debit cards / travelers cheques are accepted in most places. However, it is advisable to have local currency handy as well. If your taxi or rickshaw driver is recommending cool places to see or shop for your benefit, in all probability it is because they get a commission just for bringing tourists to a shop to have a look. Don't lend your ears to the advice.
Food: Food is an adventure in India and there is something for everyone. In Delhi you can find some of the best Mughalai curries, chaat (vegetarian street food), international restaurants and cuisines from all over India. But always drink packaged mineral water of reputed brands. There are apps called Zomato (https://www.zomato.com/ncr) and FoodPanda (https://www.foodpanda.in/) that are useful resources to eating out and to know about the night life in Delhi.
