Sightseeing
Check out the heart of Little India. Fascinating place to walk around and it feels just like you are in India itself. Avoid Sundays as it is VERY busy with construction workers on their day off.

You have got to go for a pre-dinner drink here in Park View Tower. Actually the bar is quiet but beautiful - order a bottle of wine and the 'angels' will fly up into the air and get your bottle!
