A lot of people would call Delhi a pretty expensive place to live in. Apart from certain street foods, most other things seem to burn a hole in our wallets and put a rock in our tummies. Going to a pub or eating at a restaurant aren’t the only things you can do around here though.
There’s a whole bunch of fun stuff covering a wide range that you can do in the city, and all for less than a hundred bucks! Read on( I know you want to).
