Delhi hottest destinations of 2010 For the last five years,
Delhi has been gearing up for its moment in the sun — the Commonwealth
Games, scheduled to be held in October 2010.
The Lonely Planet’s list includes watching total eclipse from Easter Island; FIFA World Cup, which for the first time is coming to Africa; Santiago Pilgrimage in Spain, especially since it is the Holy Year; the World Expo in Beijing; the Peking to Paris Motor Race where most participants drive vintage cars and the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The other favourite among Indian destinations is the Pushkar camel fair in Rajasthan. The British Airways, too, listed Delhi as one of hottest destinations. “The 2010 Commonwealth Games will be a huge attraction, with Delhi playing the first time host to the Games,” the report states. The World Travel Guide, another renowned publication, lists Delhi as one of the most sought after destinations. The Delhi Metro is all set
to reach a milestone with the completion of Phase II, following which most
parts of the Capital will feature on the metro map.
While Phase I covered 65
km across the city, with the completion of Phase II, the metro network
will cover around 180 km.
Slated for commissioning
in early January, Anand Vihar will be the first metro line to come up in
2010. It will link East Delhi to the rest of the city and is expected to
address traffic congestion in the trans-Yamuna area
