The most visited tourist place in India- " The India Gate"


It was my recent journey to New Delhi for some official work. It was a couple of weekends ago, and I decided to visit the capital of India with my husband & parents. We all wanted to visit India gate very much because many of my friends told me about  how beautiful and wonderful that place is. So finally we booked our train ticket from Jabalpur to New Delhi in Third Class AC Coach and the fare for one person is Rs 1300/- with internet charges, booked a hotel packed our bags and our trip began. We reached the station at 6 pm as our train is at 6.15pm from Jabalpur station. Our train came at time and we reached New Delhi in morning at 11.40am. We booked our taxi from prepaid taxi counter and reached our hotel- INOVA RESIDENCY which we had booked from Oyo Rooms online. We took rest, had a bath, tasty lunch in a hotel and went to market in the evening for shopping. Next day after completing our work we reached Bus stand which was at a walking distance from the hotel and we picked bus no. 610 to reach India Gate and it took only 10mins to reach there.
