Jakarta had Jalan Jaksa, a Geylang Singapore, Bangkok Khao San Road there KSR alias, and Ho Chi Minh City Pham Ngu Lao have. These places are the favorite locations of the tourists with limited funds. In New Delhi, Paharganj is a favorite of backpackers. The location is very strategic, not far from the Old Delhi area (Old Town) and very close to the railway station and metro. It was the right choice for you who want behemat, is not it?
Paharganj, like a backpacker area in other countries, is located not far from downtown. Usually this is the same region of the main road along the ranks of some of the alleys of smaller contain cheap hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and roadside vendors. When first entering the Paharganj area, my first impression was this place more dirty, more dirty, and more chaotic than the backpacker area in another country I have ever visited.

However, many people also argue that the Paharganj is a great place to get to know India better. Here you can witness the daily life of the community more closely, especially those from the lower classes. In addition, not too many options if indeed you have limited funds. Although the cost of living in India for inexpensive tend wisatan, including high hotel rates. This happens because the Indian government to limit the number of hotels are increasing. So in addition to Connaught Place and Karol Bagh - which is not too far from the Paharganj with fewer accommodation options - there is no other option for limited pockets.
With the cheap flights to India, Indonesia is now more and more people are interested to travel to the country Shahrukh Khan. I will share my experience after a few days exploring this area of Paharganj.

Accommodation
At first glance, you might feel a little horrified on arrival in the region. Old buildings are dirty and not maintained dominate this area. Many of these buildings still operating as a hotel, shops, and restaurants. If you have booked the hotel through the internet, you will certainly wish the hotel had been booked better than hotels as you pass through here. Do not worry, there are some places that I can recommend accommodation.
Cottage Yes Please is one of the most recommended accommodations. In addition to its location very close to the metro station, pegged rate is quite low at about 100 thousand dollars. Cottage provides bed dormitory (single room with several beds), ideal for those who go in groups or who do not mind a room with strangers. The place is quite clean and perfectly suited to meet up with other tourists.

Le Roi Hotel could be an option for those of you who give priority to privacy. Although from the outside does not look impressive, the interior was very clean with new furniture. The hotel is set fares starting 300 thousand dollars, the price will be more expensive when coinciding with the holiday season.
Some hotels that can be selected is Vivek Hotel and the Hotel Ajanta. Make sure you choose carefully and compare one hotel to another. After a day exploring the bustling Delhi and complicated, we can be sure you need to sleep soundly.

Eat
If you are in a particular country, of course you want to taste the typical food of the country. And in India almost all the existing restaurant serves Indian cuisine. In Paharganj, one of the restaurants that I recommend is Malhotra, right in front of Cottage Yes Please, not far from the Imperial Cinema. The restaurant serves a variety of Indian dishes from tandoori chicken to Aloo Mattar. If you get bored with Indian cuisine, you can order Chinese food. However, do not be surprised if the sense of Chinese cuisine are served somewhat different from what you normally enjoy.
You get bored with the taste of curry? Not far away there is Germany Bakery that serves a wide selection of bread with a taste of Europe. When enjoyed with coffee or tea may relieve "Delhi belly" that you feel after a day of eating food purchased from the roadside.
India is not complete without enjoying the taste to Indian sweets, usually translated into Indonesian by the term sweets. This food is actually sweet cakes are generally served at any celebration. You can buy them at roadside stalls, usually stacked like a pyramid. Because it tastes very sweet, we usually can not eat too much. Just select each one just for tasting. You can come back tomorrow to buy more that you like best.

Shopping
If you stay in Paharganj, do not miss the opportunity to shop in the main bazaar in the region. Souvenirs like t-shirts, traditional clothing, saris, bags, and handicrafts can be obtained. You can just walk along the road and do not forget to bargain. Compared with Southeast Asia, the price of souvenirs in this place, including cheaper. But do not jump to buy, compare first with the other stores and use the ability to bid.
Other Information
One advantage of staying in the Paharganj is access to transport very easy. Railway stations are within walking distance making it easier for you who intend to travel to other cities in India. If you want to get around Delhi and its environs, the metro station was very close. Buses can be found on the main road. To get around, you can use a three-wheeler or bicycle rickshaw. Bajaj to use the meter, but usually the driver reluctantly turn it on. Although must bargain first, bajaj rates much cheaper than in Jakarta.
In Paharganj available pharmacies, ATMs, bank and exchange money. No self-service franchise in the region, but you can purchase daily necessities such as mineral water, biscuits, fruit, instant noodles in the stores and stalls run by local residents.
