Which station will be better H.Nizamuddin or N.Delhi ?

Swapnil · Aug 4th, 2008, 14:40

I'll be reaching H.Nizammudin station (by 2629 Sampark Kranti Exp.) on 9-8-2008, 9:20AM(if train running ontime) ...I'll be catching another train Janshatabdi (2055) to Haridwar on same day 3:25PM from New Delhi station...so this leaves me around 6 hours of free time....so at which station I should spend this time..which station will be better(read better amenities,clean,less crowd) N.Delhi or H.Nizamuddin ?

Instead of spending all that time at the station go to CP/ Janpath and stroll around there. From CP to New Delhi station is barely a 10 minute auto ride .

wow... thats a nice suggetion puchoo..so I'll go to N.Delhi station first...lock my luggage in cloakroom & will roam around for a while....

Swapnil · Aug 5th, 2008, 15:34

puchoo one more doubt...can I deposit my rucksack @ cloakroom ? as I belive they don't let deposit any luggage without lock...& as I will be trekking during this trip I'll be carrying rucksack with me.

you can also spend some time at the humayuns tomb in Nizamuddin. Its one of the best attractions of delhi and usually not crowded.

puchoo · Aug 5th, 2008, 20:34

ummm..... I'm not too sure about this...

This is a lovely piece of advise. You can simply spend hours in the compound..its very peaceful in there..

Thanks Nayan ...how far is this tomb from H.Nizamuddin station - is it within walking distance or need to take auto? also how to proceed toward New Delhi station from there ? sorry ...don't know much about Delhi....

nayan · Aug 5th, 2008, 22:16

Its definitely walkable (specially if you are a trekker

).....

Look at the wikimapia link below

http://wikimapia.org/#lat=28.591625&...16&l=7&m=a&v=2

you can take an auto from humayuns tomb to New delhi station.

Swapnil · Aug 5th, 2008, 22:25

Thanks Nayan...you solved whole problem !

puchoo · Aug 6th, 2008, 12:15

Its a 10 -1 5 minute walk

Once you are there , like Nayan said, simply take an auto, there will be more than enough around.

The cloak rooms may not accept luggage with out a lock. Check out at the cloak room at NZM station.
There are suburban trains between Faridabad & New Delhi which stops at NZM. At NZM station enquire about trains around 2:30 to 3 PM.

For depositing your rucksack in cloakroom just wrap in a bed sheet and tie a knot, they will accept it as a "Potli". I tried this once at Gwalior RS.

Thanks I'll try that

(although I doubt it will work @ Nizamuddin)
