New Delhi, the national capital of India has taken pride in welcoming guests from all over the world since the ancient times. It has been a seat of literature, art, music, and architecture. In recent times, New Delhi has fast become a favorite city for hosting international scientific meetings owing to its infrastructure, ease of entry, and a rich cultural experience that it offers. The local PCO is charting out memorable tours in and around Delhi for the conference delegates.
