Join me on my first day in Delhi, India vlog, as I explore the city’s streets, modern infrastructure, and local life! From the moment I landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport, I was impressed by how modern, clean, and organized it is — voted India’s best airport for 7 years in a row. I filled in my online Indian visa for £32, completed the arrival card, and stepped into a country full of culture, energy, and diversity.
Holding the Indian rupee with Gandhi’s face for the first time was exciting, and stepping out into the 29°C Delhi heat set the tone for a day full of adventure. I started by navigating the Delhi Metro, which completely surprised me with its cleanliness, efficiency, and modern design. Buying a ticket for 60 rupees, I noticed the honesty and friendliness of the staff — a perfect introduction to Indian hospitality.

In New Delhi, I discovered fresh sugarcane juice for the first time. Sharing it with a friendly local led to an impromptu conversation and guidance through the busy train station, showing the kindness and warmth of Delhi locals. I also experienced a near travel scam, where I was almost convinced to buy a 28,000 rupee tourist package. This was a sharp reminder of the caution needed for first-time visitors in India.
After taking a tuk-tuk to Shanti Plaza Hotel, a simple yet charming stay in New Delhi, I set out to find halal food in Delhi. Guided by a local Muslim man, I walked past bustling streets and slums to a luxury halal restaurant, experiencing the contrast between high-end dining and everyday affordability. Ordering a single chicken dish and drink cost 900 rupees — an eye-opening example of Delhi’s diverse culinary experiences.
After dinner, I explored the area further, admiring the British-era architecture, wandering through clean streets, and supporting a young boy running a small shop with a tip. This small interaction highlighted the authentic local life and community spirit of Delhi.
Throughout the day, I reflected on my first impressions of Delhi: a city full of vibrant energy, friendly locals, rich culture, and incredible food, but also challenges like scams and luxury pricing. From metro rides to street sugarcane, luxury restaurants to local shops, this vlog captures the modern, traditional, and real-life sides of New Delhi.
